 Fast Jon Watt ruled it as usual. Here he is on a dry day. |
We had a great backyard session today. Snow, ice and mud made things slow and sketchy, but still:
Miles pumped: 4.5
Laps per mile: 30
Fastest time for three laps: 23.5 sec.
Fastest time for 10 laps: 1:24*
Top speed: 20.2 mph
So fun — and such great training. 1 … 2 …. 3 … Sea Otter!

* My times (goals) – 3 laps 26.5 sec. (24 sec), 10 laps 1:36 (1:26)
Hi Lee, I have an 05 Enduro and want to upgrade to a coil shock, from the 5th Element Air. In particular I’m interested in the new Cane Creek Double Barrel shock. I was wondering through your contacts if you have heard any reports or tried this shock on the new Enduro frame.

Hey Lee,
I was just wanting some riding advice, how do you ride fast through rough, and/or steep stuff. When i pedal i push forward and that seems to be pushing me over the handle bars when it gets steep or rocky. What is the way to manage it? I do have your book but a mate of mine stole it and i havent seen him around to steal it back.

Hell yeah! Too much cool stuff: tons of skills clinics, lots of freelance work, bikes are fun, motos are fun, skis are fun, my puppies are special and my Smootchie is the best.
That is all. Except:
 Superstar singer Diane French rocks it last Saturday. |
 Young Clay skies it in June 2005. |

Pour equal parts moto-heads and XR100s into an indoor track. Mix thoroughly. Cook at full throttle for two days and serve sweaty.
I just spent two days railing XR100s inside a barn with a bunch of Type-A racerheads and some bad ass instructors. I’ll write a full story asap, but first these photos:

Lee,
Is there a formula for figuring out the best height, length, curvature and angle of a jump to achieve the longest distance and height? And what would be the differences if you had the angle of the take off at say 35, 45 and 55 degrees?
An eager mind wants tips for riding a pump track on a bike with 4-8 inches of suspension. Any excuse to draw a diagram …

We’ve had some awesome weather here lately: snow pounding the Rockies and sun warming the Front Range. It’s the Colorado promise.
Last Monday we rode our street-legal trail motos from home to Lefthand Canyon OHV Area, all over the mountains then back to Boulder. And that too is the Colorado promise.

Lee,
Looking at possibly purchasing a Yeti 575. I am 5’8″ and a mid aggressive rider. I like to descend and climb Cross Country and Super D type riding. What else should I look at for comparison? Pros and cons?
