Hi Lee, The two main things I need to work on I think are keeping my weight mostly on the pedals with heavy feet (less on the hands) and weighting the front wheel more in loose fast corners (I have had my front wheel wash out a few times recently, no I’m not braking). How […]
The right shoes and pedals will help even the stiffest ex-roadie rock the kung fu. You can get great pedals and shoes anywhere. Here are some suggestions from Jenson USA.
If you’re gonna ride the trainer, you might as well be focused and pushed. Sufferfest videos — a favorite among the gnarliest roadies — are rad. Lately I’ve been hammering “Downward Spiral” and “Hell Hath No Fury.”
Lee, Throughout 2011, I’ve been trying to get to grips with flat pedals on my Enduro SL. After a couple of decades riding clips and straps then clipless, this past year has been about the worst I can remember. Admittedly, I haven’t managed to ride as much as I’d have liked, but when I do […]
When I was packing for last week’s SoCal coaching adventure, I happened to look inside my helmet. Yikes!
I wrote this story about leg waxing for Bike Magazine in 1994. So glad I no longer shave … or wax.
Hi Lee, In the middle of Mastering Mountain Bike Skills book, great reading. I’m thinking of getting a Stumpy FSR 29er. I’ve got an Epic 29er and I’m really happy with it but would like something for rougher trails and that I could do some jumps on. I can’t quite swing the Expert and was […]

By now many you have seen the Specialized StumpPumper concept bike elsewhere on the interweb. Some hate it, some love it. I like it. I think I’m gonna make a real-life concept bike: the P.PUMP
Hey Lee, One section that I’ve been rolling has eroded a bit and I need to get up to task (read: grow some) and drop this sucker! Chunky approach to a 4 foot ledge with a rutted downhill landing and runout… I ride a Santa Cruz Nomad with a coil fork and I’ll be sporting […]
Lee, I am in need of a new bike and was about to write off 29ers because I want the most versatile bike for the bucks. When you endorse 29ers for pump and jump I’m back on the fence. I own an old copy of Mastering MTB Skills and it really helped to improve my […]
Our colleague EJ has questions. I have answers (or at least opinions).
