Pump Track Nation: Black Forest, Germany
/0 Comments/in Reader mail, Trail building/by leelikesbikesHey Lee, Last year I bought your eBook Welcome to Pump Track Nation.

Kung Fu MTB training with BandJRacing
/0 Comments/in RipRow™, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesWorld class XTERRA racers Ben and Jacqui Allen of bandj.racing are in Boulder, CO for training — and that means RipRow and skills classes with me. These elite athletes are amazingly great at learning and implementing new skills. It’s like they should be pro or something! Fun video too: @jacqui220tri & I, traveled to shred […]
May the Forces be with you
/0 Comments/in RipRow™, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesI was riding my pump track the other day — deep into a 10-minute non-stop set, and this occurred to me: When I pump perfectly, the forces are internal (generated within my body and bike). When I make a mistake, the forces are external (coming from the trail). This got the wheels turning, so to […]
XC racing: Should I use race tires or trail tires?
/4 Comments/in Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesLee, my frugal ass bought Mastering Mountain Bike Skills 3rd Edition instead of waiting for it at the library. I ride a Pivot Mach 429 Trail and it’s versatile enough for general trail riding and XC racing. I live in New England. I have a set of 2.35 Vittoria Barzos on now for some upcoming […]

Both Mike and Paul have done […]
Shredding with XTERRA legends Ben and Jacqui Allen
/0 Comments/in Coaching, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesAs a teacher, I love helping all kinds of riders ride better and have more fun. The amount of improvement people can enjoy … it’s staggering! You just need to spend a little time with me. Afterward you’ll say “Why didn’t I do this sooner?” Last week I got to work XTERRA legends Ben and […]
How’s the Enduro Öhlins Coil?
/3 Comments/in Ask Lee, Reviews/by leelikesbikesHi Lee, how’s everything going? Busy with release of book and Riprow at the same time I guess. I have a question about Enduro 29 coil I just rode the “old” Enduro 29 Comp and for the lack of a better expression “it blew my fucking mind”. Me and my friend rode a lift accessed, […]
Advice for a bad back
/0 Comments/in Ask Lee, RipRow™, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesOur friend Chris is having back issues. I think he should see a professional … and he should insist on a top 1% performer.
Focusing on focus
/2 Comments/in Skills/training/by leelikesbikesI enjoy a life of purpose and possibility. I work a lot, but I love what I do — and I’m helping other people love what they do. When I’m not working, I’m doing my best to be a great father and husband. When I ride outside of my “job,” it’s for training — body, mind […]
