Here’s 6 minutes of pure mountain bike goodness captured with an on-board camera at one of our local trails in Tapia Canyon (SoCal). No music, just dirt crunching, gear grinding, chain slappin’ and a few giggles and grunts from us two doofuses. Bruce rides in the hi-tec “roadie” gear, while I prefer the looser fitting “old t-shirt” comfort gear and I’m Jason. Enjoy MTB friends.
www.columbia.com The Mobex Float Pack doesn’t really defy gravity. It just feels like it. A floating suspension system offers freedom of movement no matter what you’re hauling or where. And that’s nice, because you never know what might come in handy in the Greater Outdoors. Convenient clamshell access and versatile internal gear organization keeps essentials within easy reach while the fully ventilated back panel prevents overheating when you’re going hard. Stay safe and sane with reflective accents and a rescue whistle on the sternum strap (just in case). Mobex rod technology keeps construction ultralight and allows you to more easily make full use of the pack’s volume. It’s not quite the human jet-pack we’ve been waiting for, but it’s pretty darn close. Cinch down the fully wrapped hip belt and prepare for takeoff.

Having entered the NCO Bull Raid 12 Hour XC MTB Race on Saturday 7th August 2010 only 20 hours before it started, Julie and Andrea were as prepared as ever for a major event! So at lunchtime on Friday they started a list: Entry. Tick. Bikedock van. Tick. Mentality (or mental!) Tick. Willing. Tick. Excitement. Tick. Haven’t a clue what they’ve got ourselves into. Tick. Mountain bike. Ti……oops! Must get one of those! … by the way, despite their disorganisation, they DID take first in the women’s team category! www.bikedockbelles.com/index.php/reports/full/12-hour-bull-raid-mtb-race-belles-are-the-queens-of-bull/ www.bikedockbelles.com/index.php/reports/full/12-hour-bull-raid-mtb-race-results/ www.bikedockbelles.com www.bikedock.com
Think of your mtb as a giant pogo stick.
I mountain like it’s my job. And it was, as I traveled to mountains around the world in a bobsled and became one of the most decorated brakeman in the history of the sport. After retiring, I took up snowboarding and founded SnoDaisy, a boutique snowboard company that manufactures female-friendly boards and strives to expose women to the sport of snowboarding. In the summer, I mountain with lip gloss on a full-suspension bike adorned with pink rhinestones, daisy decals and leather handlebar tassels. Regardless of the activity, I mountain MY way.
I’m looking into getting into mountain biking. I want to get a decent used bike, maybe 500-600 dollars. I know the best thing to do to determine the right size is to go to a shop, but I just want to get some idea before I go. I’m 5′10 and 165 pounds, with about a 31" inseam length. Can anyone recommend a frame size for me, as well as a few good beginner’s brands of bikes?
I am new to mountain biking and am looking to buy a mountain bike. Mainly for trails and off roading kind of stuff. Im looking more to the trail aspect rather than street riding. My price range is about from 400 to 800. Anything will help. Thanks
I basically want the cross-training for mountain biking so Im not looking for the most expensive bike to buy.
