Hey Lee, Love the site and the book. I ride an Epic and run a high seat. I live in a flat part of the world (Lubbock, Texas) so its all pretty much XC. Question: Can I do the manuals with the seat as high as it is (an inch or so above the bars)? […]
Hi Lee, Long time listener, first time caller. I’ve got a few questions about tall riders – I’m 6ft5 and pretty lean (read skinny) and I’m looking for tips to make a lanky bloke faster. My centre of gravity is higher (I ride an XL Heckler) so I guess manualling isn’t ever going to be […]
It’s weird to travel without a bike. With a ton of work to do, there’s no time for the usual take-a-month-in-the-Sprinter adventure. I’m flying to O.C. for almost a week, staying with my parents and interviewing some BMX pros for a big project. The weather report isn’t promising, but I choose to hope for the […]
AA Pro BMXer Jason Richardson recently built a pump track using decomposed granite, and he says it’s working well.
Lee, Ft.Collins has two mountain bike parks, Boulder has a few, and now I think c-springs has something, not to mention leadville and durango and all the other mountain towns. Ever hear of anyone getting the ball rolling in Denver? I’m wondering if there’s a wagon I can jump on, or if I should try […]
This evening I stopped by The Fix for 100 Laps of Pump Track Love. The wind was crazy! I usually follow a Don’t Ask, Don’t Pedal policy, but there was no way to ride the uphill into the bluster.
Hey, Lee. Your answer to my burnin’ quads question a while ago was really helpful, so here’s another one: hand fatigue. I recently moved to New England, and the terrain around here is steep, slow and technical, and I find myself relying on my rear brake a lot more than I’m used to. Lately my […]
This tale was originally posted Nov. 16, 2004. There is so much goodness here, I just had to re-post it on the new site platform.
hey Lee, i run a long cage SRAM X.O rear derailleur on both my Giant Reign and Giant DH bikes. i was thinking about picking up a spare XO rear, to have on hand if i bash either one of those to death. but short, mid or long? i could use this opportunity to go […]
This morning I meant to spin up Sugarloaf Road and rip down the Boulder Link Trail a couple times. Lingering snow and a forgotten helmet changed that plan.
In August I posted photos of a beautifully landscaped pump track made out of finely crushed rock, aka “compacted base rock fines.” Here’s a status report from Cynthia Tanyan of Mozaic Landscape design.
Lee, I am in the planning stages for a pumptrack at our local trails and was wondering if the red dirt, like what is used for baseball diamonds, would work well for a track or should I stick with top soil. Thanks, Evan
