Overcome the fear of turns
/1 Comment/in Ask Lee, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesLee, Thanks for your incredible site! I was hoping you could help me turn my MTB. My local trails are hardpack with random patches of gravel. Some turns have sweet berms and most are flat. I really haul on the brakes before each turn, berm or no berm. Self-preservation is kicking in but I know […]

Dig-day disappointment in Lyons
/9 Comments/in Trail building/by leelikesbikesIn the past year, the Lyons Bike Park has become a fixture of the community and a destination for the region.

Anyhow, I was wondering which tires you recommend. I know I want something fast with low rolling resistance but I probably also need a bit of tread. […]
The Carbon Enduro Chronicles: Lookout Mountain
/1 Comment/in Dirt jumping, Tech tips/by leelikesbikesLast Friday I was rolling through Golden on the way back from a meeting in Littleton. My clients and I are working on a 60-page partnership proposal: the kind that determines how I pay my mortgage. It’s a fun and relaxing process. So so fun and relaxing that I was crawling out of my skin […]

Please come on out next Saturday, May 29, to clean up, make improvements, ride bikes and eat BBQ. Work goals include axing weeds, clearing rocks, re-shaping jumps and […]

When I was 12, I ate major sh*t and got the breath knocked out of me for what felt like an hour. Ever since then, I have always been hesitant do jumps/drops. I know I have the skill to jump, but I […]
