OK, I have a silly question for you. I’ve been practicing my figure 8’s on our gravel road and I’ve noticed that my front wheel washes out before my rear wheel even though I seem to be weighting it pretty heavy.

MTB strength trainer James Wilson has a post on his site called “Leg Press = The Devil.” What I’m wondering is, how does he really feel about the leg press?

I came across this while looking for quotes a bike catalog I’m writing.
It’s a sunny Saturday morning, and I’m pinning it super-hard writing catalog copy for a bunch of bike companies. I just ran across this bit of wisdom:
Here’s a draft page from my book-in-progress, Pro BMX Skills.
It’s amazing how similarly various BMX pros fit their bikes.
The book won’t be done so soon, so we might as well spread the love:
One of my main clients, CMBS.com/Backshop, is headed by a guy named Jim Flaherty. Jim rips an S-Works Stumpy in the hills near his Marin office, and he is quite the character.
Last week Jim had VIP access to the inauguration. Last night he was partying backstage with Metallica. I’m not sure which is cooler.
Here’s Jim’s blog, which I run for him: cmbs2point0.com
