The pinned report: Day 7
This week has been just as pinned as promised, and roughly twice as cool. I’m sitting at a truck stop on the Grapevine, about to go to bed, but I must report:

The next week: Pinned!
/10 Comments/in Coaching/by leelikesbikesI’m loading up for a week of adventure in California. We’re talking BMX research, mountain bike clinics and some quality riding. Classes are almost full, so don’t delay!
A great week of clinics
/5 Comments/in Coaching/by leelikesbikesLast week I taught 16 riders of all levels, both genders and every style. The private and public clinics have been super fun, and everyone has been stoked.

The Way of Looking Ahead
/12 Comments/in Ask Lee, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesHi Lee, Hope you don’t mind answering a couple questions from more of a beginners perspective. The best piece of advice I got from your book is also the hardest one for me to consistently achieve – looking farther down the trail – especially on rocky technical climbs. If I look at a rock before […]

Awesome bike events this weekend
/2 Comments/in Coaching, Events/by leelikesbikesHere on the Front Range, we have the Lyons Outdoor Games and the Lory State Park Spring Mountain Biking kickoff, not to mention a public Core Skills Clinic with me. Too many choices …
Extra-extra heavy fork spring?
/5 Comments/in Ask Lee, Equipment, Tech tips/by leelikesbikesHi Lee, I’ve got a question for you that I can’t find an answer for. Do you know of a source to get an extra-extra-heavy spring for a Fox 36 Van? The heaviest one Fox sells is for a weight range of 210-240 lb and I need one for a rider weight of about 275 […]
2008 Stumpy vs 2008 Enduro SL – the debate continues
/18 Comments/in Ask Lee, Equipment, Reviews/by leelikesbikesThis guy lives on the East Coast and wants to motor through those perpetual up-and-down rock gardens. His needs are different from Big Mountain folks.
Perfectly average: Running the Bolder Boulder 10K
/5 Comments/in Skills/training/by leelikesbikesIn a stunning shift of priorities, I skipped the Angel Fire MSC this year and instead ran the Bolder Boulder 10k. So today, rather than pinning it through aspen forests by myself, I jogged through city streets with 50,000 goofballs. I am proud to say I finished right in the middle.
Should I switch my brakes to moto style?
/10 Comments/in Ask Lee, Tech tips/by leelikesbikesLee, What do you think about setting up your Mtn bike brakes moto style? I started riding a Honda 250 in Dec. and I have been fortunate enough to be able to ride it twice a week. In between the days I ride the moto I’m on the mountain bikes. When I go from the […]
What about my elbows?
/1 Comment/in Ask Lee, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesHi Lee, I’ve found that for pumping and for initiating a turn, I have more power with my elbows up as in a bench press position (you’re like this in the pumping video you just put up). However when I’m about to hit something like a mess of roots, it’s easier to keep my fore/aft […]
