If you’ve seen any of the Red Bull Crashed Ice events — imagine 4X on hockey skates down an ice track of doom — you’ve probably thought 1) rad! and 2) how do they train for this? Well, it turns out pump tracks and bike parks are perfect. Pump is pump. Ripping is ripping. Kung […]
Hey Lee, I have repeatedly read your articles about the Stumpjumper FSR 29. I own a 2012 model and I’m quite happy with it. The only problem is my stock fork (Fox 32 Float 29). My crown always got “loose” and starts cracking (more or less always after 3 to 6 months of use). The […]
Hey all, I have tons of cool stuff to post on this site, but I’m teaching 2-3 clinics every day — plus other action — and I’m barely staying on top of it. For current material check out the Lee Likes Bikes Facebook page. BRAAAP! Lee
Very kind article from Cheri Felix at 303cycling.com: >>> Lee Likes Bikes and I Like Lee And Bikes Too “Lee is one of those guys that knows what he’s talking about, and he gives you the information you need without being judgy or impatient. It’s like for those three hours each one of us was […]
Lee, I started your Pump Up the Base program a couple of weeks ago. Initially, I put a slick on an old mountain bike and mounted the bike on a trainer. However, the gearing on the mountain bike is too low to get to the speeds needed to create enough resistance on the trainer for […]
Hey Lee, Why does it feel harder to pedal with a FOX TALAS fork in “shorter” mode while climbing? For example you’re chugging along, climbing your favorite moderate to steep (insert appropriate grade % here) fire road, you drop the fork, and it gets NOTICEABLY harder to pedal. This one appears to have some debate […]
Chris in Australia is doing the Pump Up the Base training program, and he’s working in some pump track action, but he wants to know how he can maintain pump for the long intervals.
Hey Lee, I’ve been following your career for awhile now, and am always impressed by your pump track advocacy and advice. I have the book you wrote with Lopes on my kindle. I’ve built my own stuff on private land. Here’s my question: tons of people talk about good cornering technique, and then I saw […]
I dig Dirt’s recent interview with Fabien Barel about Flow (capital F), and I got to use his wisdom today while working with DH champ Alex Willie.
Lee, I was looking at your fitness books: Pump up the Base and Prepare to Pin It. It appears that one should start with Pump Up the Base during the off-season. Then, move to Prepare to Pin It. What about those of us that live in Southern California? We do not have an off-season. Is […]
Lee, How will i find the sweet spot for an Epic EVO Brain for pump or trail? Peter
During the winter it was pretty easy to follow the Pump Up the Base and Prepare to Pin It training programs to the letter, and I saw some big power gains. Now that I’m coaching most days and traveling many weeks — not to mention other work and Life — it’s getting harder to follow […]
