There’s a flashlight in my belly button
/9 Comments/in Ask Lee, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesCould you clarify one thing about the flashlight for me. What I do not grasp so far is what the “flashlight – turning of the hips” does. Judging from you remarks on skiing you know a thing or two about that as well. Being an enthusiastic skier myself, I have compared the position of carving […]
Is my stem stiff enough?
/in Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesHi Lee, given that I strive for the lightest possible touch on the bars, how is important is stem stiffness? My bike is used for racing XC, and the stem, which I think was really designed for a road bike, is 90mm. Christopher (a skills client in Marin)
Hardtail on Tunnel Trail?
/in Ask Lee, Tech tips, Trail/by leelikesbikesLee, Dunno who else to ask this question, if you’ve got a second, that’d be awesome. I’m in Santa Barbara, CA on a family trip for the next week. I searched for the Tunnel Trail, since it’s the only one I’ve heard of and your site came up, like, 3rd on the search. Only got […]

I just rode Valmont Bike Park
/in Trail building/by leelikesbikesWow. Wow. Wow. So rad. Tons of terrain, teeming with all kinds of riders, perfect places to teach (and use!) skills. I am vying for the contract to run programs here. Oh man, I want this. Skills clinics for all styles and levels of riders, pump track races, dual slalom races, time trials, cyclocross, special […]
Pump the trail bike or get a 20?
/1 Comment/in Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesDear Lee: Love your stuff. The place I ride a lot just built a pump track, and after the snow melts it will be fully shred-able. Last year during building I had my Giant STP jump and pump bike stolen, and have not found it nor bought another one. I also own a 2009 Trek […]
2011 Lyons Outdoor Games pump track worlds
/2 Comments/in Events, Pump tracks/by leelikesbikesYesterday we rocked the World Pump Track Championships at the Lyons Outdoor Games in Lyons, CO. The event was smaller than hoped, but we had a gool ol’ grassrootsy time.
Hope for aging, busy people
/1 Comment/in Life with a capital L, Pump tracks, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesLast week, before we re-built the Lyons pump track, I rolled a new 100-lap record. This is despite more work and family time — and way less time on dirt. It gives me hope.
What is the best pump track bike?

Lyons pump track is ready for action!
/in Events, Pump tracks, Trail building/by leelikesbikesThis weekend is the Lyons Outdoor Games pump track race. Last weekend we gave the pump track two days of much needed love.
Any reason not to get PUSHed?
/2 Comments/in Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesLee, I’ll lob you an easy one. If my shock is overdue for servicing anyways, is there any reason not to have it PUSHed? I only ask because I have no personal experience with PUSHed shocks and I don’t really know what I should expect with the service. Thanks for your time! Matt
