I’m off to teach a two-day clinic in Carbondale, near Aspen, Colo. Day 1 is drills and skills. Day 2 is on-trail application. I look forward to ripping some new trails and rocking the Carbondale public pump track.
Maybe sneak in a run at Keystone on the way home …
Sweet style!
Lee,
I don’t know if this is the appropriate venue for this question, but here goes. What are the minimum requirements to start riding motos? I have MTB DH stuff but I feel like that won’t cut it, safety-wise. I have access to a bike, but no gear. What should I get/borrow?
Thanks,
Brian Glass
Our friend Carla has been riding a 24″ cruiser, and she has two questions: 1) Should she rock a 20, and 2) what size should she be riding?
Lee,
Me and my friends found an abandoned DJ spot in a clearing in the middle of a public park. We worked really hard to turn it into a sick DJ/pump track/free ride park with a wall ride ladder bridges and everything.
The problem is these fat kids on dirt bikes (with engines ya know) keep crushing down all of our lips…even filling in our gaps turning them to stupid table tops so they can ride them.
Is there anything we can build or do to prevent or discourage electric or gas powered dirt bikes?
Charlie
Lee,
My 2005 Specialized Enduro Expert came with a 5th element air shock, 8.75 x 2.5. The shock now has no rebound damping and don’t think anyone services these shocks anymore. What options do I have?
Thanks,
Matt
This bit of sweetness just came from Deacon James at Specialized. Super cool!
When I become president of this great nation, I will put two dirt jump hardtails in every garage.

G’day Lee,
You were very helpful on pump track building tips for me a few years ago, I’m also a friend of Jason Smith (moto stud).
Anyway a friend of mine crashed and split her arm open 3.75″ long and 3/4″ wide 10 days ago. She is signed up for the Downieville DH but is thinking she may have to pull out because the jarring through the bars causes allot of discomfort. She is riding a Turner 5 Spot with a Lyric fork. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated. Only thing I can think of is Novocaine.

Join me for a fun adventure this Saturday. We will ride Hall Ranch from noon to 3 p.m.
We will apply the Core Skills on the technical climbs and descents. Both will be easier and more fun than ever.

Rock!
Chris is riding dirt jumps and skate parks on his P.2, and he wants a lighter, more maneuverable machine.
Here’s another gem from the BMX book. I’m pinned but getting ‘er done.
Chris Powell was gracious enough to intentionally case this high-speed double on the Chula Vista Olympic track. He made even this bad landing look good.
If you’re planning to show up un-registered, please email me, and we’ll work something out.
