The other day I was working with a client on the big pump track at Valmont Bike Park, and we were having trouble getting him into a proper hinge. His form was perfect on the RipRow, but on the bike he was collapsing into the classic bad squat position: knees forward, butt forward, quads hot, […]
Hey Lee! Hope all is well! In the market for looking for a new racing bike, but the 27.5+ is attracting me a bit. It can be converted to a 29er hardtail and/or a single speed and is theoretically said to have the same ride quality characteristics as a full suspension. Do you think it […]
Tait Rees, 40something husband and father, has been working the RipRow™ and skills classes all spring — and he is on a shred mission. Tait is an expert mountain biker and an A-class (the highest class) motorcycle enduro racer. “I’ve never ridden this well,” he says. “This is a whole new level.” Learn all about RipRow™ […]
Lee, how are ya?! I have a couple questions for you: I’ve finally pulled trees out of a spot and received permission to lay down a pump track. I was initially thinking of using the same dirt I am going to pull from the ground to level the hill, but I am wondering if maybe […]

I live near the top of a mountain. It’s about 1,200 vertical feet from downtown Boulder to my house, with a peak grade of 17% and a whole lot of painful memories strewn about. Overall I climb it faster and easier than ever. Some days … some days I fly! It’s so easy. Other days […]
Hi everyone! In the past I’ve never offered public women-only classes. Why? 1. I work with people, not genders. 2. Gender does not determine how you ride or learn. I’ve taught more than 5,000 people at all levels, ages and genders. Contrary to stereotypes, some men are too timid and some women are too careless. […]
Lee, I am an intern with the City of Temecula’s Planning Department, and we are currently in the early phases of researching and planning to build a pump track. I have been tasked with compiling research and gathering information regarding important “do’s and don’ts” of designing pump tracks. We’ll be ordering a copy of your […]
