A friend of ours, JeffD, sent us an incredible hi-res video that is full of pure dh stoke. I love it when friends and readers pass along videos that just beg you to get out and ride. Below is the Massanutten 2008 video. Enjoy! Massanutten Yee Ha! 2008 (hi-res) from Casey Stein on Vimeo. Low-res version found on Vimeo here.

Bicycle Design posted up an article today on his ride with the prototype of the Hindsight: My ride with Hindsight. This device provides all of your cycling computer needs, plus GPS, with one really cool feature that no one else has…a rear view camera. The roadie purists are going to turn their noses up to the weight, but this solves the problem I have with road...

Sometimes its larger, sometimes its smaller, but it is always there…the never ending pile of tires.  For some reason I can never really get rid of it.  There are always a couple of sets that I think I may use again and then there are the sets that are dry rotted and need a new home.  A lot of times, I end up giving away the tires I didn’t like to friends...

I have finally gotten enough time on the new DH Ardents from Maxxis to give a full review. This impressive new tread pattern from Maxxis should be making its way to the public soon. This sample set is the 2.6 3C (run as a front tire) and the 2.4 60a (run as the rear). The test bike was my Ventana El Terremoto 6.0. The TM is a 6″ coil sprung bike, and it is probably...

Congratulations goes out to Chad Oliver (HeavyBike/Flowtec depending on which forum you are watching) and the rest of the “Middle Ring Mafia” for killing it at the Burn 24 hr at the Dark Mountain Trails in Wilkesboro, NC. They did 38 laps for 285 miles to win the event. Just goes to show that riding a 40 lbs. Bullet as your everyday bike does help with endurance...

Want to get your bike back to that “showroom new” condition? Suzuki Motorcycle Wash is the only way to clean your bike. I am not sure what they put in this stuff, but it is a miracle worker. You can purchase it in a gallon jug or spray bottle at your local Suzuki dealer. I normally pick up the gallon jug and use a spare spray bottle around the house to...

When a fellow riding friend (FoShizzle) emailed me on this build, I knew it was going to be insane. El Beastro is known to have Spectrum powder coat some extremely original designs onto is frames. This Knolly Endorphin has to be one of the craziest I have ever seen. It looks incredible, and I can only imagine how it looks in person. Knolly’s are known for their...

The second ride on the Ardents changed my opinion on their performance due to a critical change in air pressure. I lowered the front another couple psi to the 26 lbs. range and the tire performed so well that I had to re-write this review. I took the Ardents up to Pinhoti 2, 3 and 4 up in the north Georgia mountains over the weekend to get some long mile testing in....
