Hey Lee. I just wrecked big this past Sunday at Dakota Ridge (near Golden, CO). I am doing the usual ice, ibuprofen, and rest routine, but I was wondering if you had any secrets regarding shoulder rehab. I don’t think I tore or dislocated anything, but there is definitely some deep tissue damage. What would the pros do?

Hey Lee!
Great site, always interesting. I ride a lot and I have gnarly calluses on my palms that pinch, pull off and become very painful. I will be in Whistler all summer and it’s gonna get really bad. Any tips for reducing pinched calluses?

Lee,

Lee,
It has been way too long since your last post! You must be training your ass off.

Ron, I wish. I’ve been WORKING my ass off:
– writing brochures for BMW motorcycles
– writing articles for bike mags
– and tons of coaching; nine of the past 14 days — 28 different people, and they’re all stoked. Too cool!
As soon as I catch up, I promise lots of cool posts. And hopefully some riding too …

Lee,
I saw your post about the Specialized tires and your reference to the Chunder being a good tire for Mammoth DH. My kids will be racing there in June on little downhill bikes with 24″ wheels (Specialized Grom and Kona Stinky Jr.) and I was wondering if those tires came in 24″ versions? If not, do you recommend any other tires?

Lee,
What is the max height for a jump on a DH course???? It seems to me that alot of grassroot DH courses are becoming more freeride than DH, I like to pin it, and would like to build my courses more like WC courses.
