Photos and more: Olympic BMX track
I recently spent a couple days at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, CA, interviewing, shooting and — yes — riding the Bejing replica track. It was like BMX, only way bigger.
Lots of fun stuff:
Aggro clinic: stoked rider

Clinic love: “Carning” in California
Hi all. Just returned from two weeks away; one in California teaching, one in Martha’s Vineyard sleeping and fishing. The sleeping was much more successful than the fishing. Highlights from the clinics, and the word of the week:
carn verb. To crash, to damage one’s flesh. Dude, my front tire washed out and I totally carned!

“Aggro” skills clinic this Saturday
What: A skills clinic focused on pumping, manualing, hopping, dropping, aggressive cornering and, if the group is ready, jumping. This is like a Core Skills clinic, just tweaked toward “aggro” riding styles. We’ll start with riding position and work our way up the skills tree. Braaap!
When:Saturdays, June 21 and 28, noon to 3 p.m.
Where: The Fix bike shop, 3085 Bluff St., Boulder CO
Who: Me, you and a few other like-minded souls
Why: It’s fun! And you’ll gain skills that will enhance all of your riding — “aggro” or not.
