Hey Lee, Here is a didactic question for you: Is it better for a beginner to start out on a bike that’s overkill for the trails they normally ride (e.g. a 6″ travel AM bike for tame trails) or is it best to learn on a less plush bike so they really must learn handling […]
Hey Lee, Just wondering if you had any advice for helping me break the vicious cycle I seem to be stuck in at the moment. At the beginning of this year, I felt like my riding was improving and my confidence was building with most every ride. There was the occasional setback, but I found […]
Hi all, I updated my clinics page with info on road riding. Road bikes are rad — especially when you know how to Ride them (capital R). Skills clinics with Lee > Road It’s raining today. The way things are going, I might start teaching trainer clinics …
I sent a ready-to-build design spec to our man Tapio in Finland, and he’s built a temporary track for the Stadibike event. After the event, he’s gonna move the dirt and build a permanent version of the track nearby. Pump Track Nation! Check out the videos:
Hey Lee, I have been working with a couple of people for a while now and I just can’t get them to lean their bike more than their body. They came to MTB quite recently from other sports and nothing I have tried with them will get them to forget their deeply ingrained past. Got […]
Hi Lee, Can you share any good foods, drinks or shake recipes that you may use to speed muscle recovery when riding many days back to back? I typically try and drink milk or chocolate milk right after I ride, and generally eat high protein and high fiber foods. Thanks a bunch and ride on! […]
The Ranchstyle event in Grand Junction, CO is still happening this weekend. No changes, as far as I know to the comps or other clinics. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my Friday clinic. I apologize to the riders who registered. Life with a capital L. If you registered for my clinic, I’ll give you $50 […]
Hey Lee, Thanks to Welcome to Pump Track Nation, I am working on my pumptrack project and things look good, Germany) will support the project. They will even allow us to use a piece of public property to build the track on. Right now I’m thinking about the exact location and this is where I […]
Hi Lee, Hope you’re doing well. I’ve been mountain biking quite a bit and I have a question. When I’m riding slowly up a hill, I have trouble keeping the front wheel from wandering back and forth. The hills aren’t that steep and the wheel doesn’t feel light. Leaning forward to get more weight on […]
In comments for Save the pump track at Clayton Middle School in Salt Lake City, Teacher Jeff Zook hinted a campus pump track might interfere with class time — but imagine the teaching opportunities.
This just in from the Pump Track Nation. If you live in SLC (or even, I suppose, if you don’t), please consider passing this note along to the mayor.
Hi Lee. I am reading your book. Love it! Your skill and experience are unquestionable. My question is: You say keep the weight into the BB at all times to keep balance. I have heard magazines here in the UK say some hardtails make possible a more weight forward position and this works well as […]
