Team members Jared Graves, Justin Leov, Rich Houseman, Ross Milan and T.J. Sharp will compete in downhill and gated races at NORBA nationals, UCI World Cups and the Sea Otter Classic. Yeti and Fox look forward to impressive race results and exciting product evolution.

Build/Ride Session at Chalk Creek

/2 Comments/in /by

It’s time to hone the 4x and DS courses at the Chalk Creek Proving Grounds. From the Mighty Keith Darner:

Head down to Chalk Creek on the 25th and 26th of February, we are going to have a build ride session. Come early on Saturday and be prepared to dig and ride, then ride and dig! Camping will be allowed up near the mountain cross tracks, but be prepared for anything Mother Nature might throw at you. Super cheap lodging will be available at the Hot Springs Resort for those not prepared to camp.

Hey Lee,

Always a big fan of the site. What kind of software do you use to make your site? I’m trying to put together something like your site of ride pictures and stuff that I can update and love the nice clean setup you have. If it’s a program (and not web based) do you use a Mac or PC?
