Laying your bike flat in the air
/11 Comments/in Ask Lee, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesHey Lee, Great book and great site. I have tried and tried and tried, but I just can’t seem to do a good table top. I only get the bike over a few degrees. Can you describe the best way to start to get the bike flat on its side. Thanks, Chris
Lee Likes Hare Scrambles

Photos: Lory State Park pump track
/10 Comments/in ColoRADo, Pump tracks/by leelikesbikesThe bike park is a wild success, with 25-35 riders visiting each non-snowy weekend day. The dream goal was 40 a week, so this is a great sign. Last week a vanload of us went up for a little photo shoot. This track is so rad.

Geometry for pump track bike?
/1 Comment/in Ask Lee, Equipment, Pump tracks/by leelikesbikesLee, Thanks to your e-book digging has commenced (who really needed a garden anyway). I have a lot of tight radius turns and was curious if going with a shorter wheel based (42″ish) bike would help? Does a slack head angle say 67-68 ride a lot different than say a 69-70deg. I guess looking for […]
Tires for German gravel?
/1 Comment/in Ask Lee, Skills/training, Tech tips/by leelikesbikesHi, Lee. I’ve been living in Germany for three years now. My favorite trails have loose gravel in a lot of places. I can feel my tires get kind of loose on the turns and I’m wondering if there is a tire that really sticks in gravel. Thanks, Elizabeth
