Going into the 2007 Sea Otter Classic, I had a few years of coaching under my belt, and my skills were better than ever. I trained hard over the Colorado winter, and I showed up ready to rock the dual slalom and downhill. Little did I know I’d be taking a special test.
This story will appear in MMBSii.
As a member of the Hayes Test Program, it’s my duty (and honor) to tell you a bit about the new Prime brake.

Arrrg! Today was beautiful. I really wanted to get outside, but the sun just went down and I’m still sitting here working. So I’m rocking the Indoor Training Plan of Penance:
Lots of movement this week on the pump track/bike park front:
Every Sunday used to consist of an all-day bike or moto adventure. Yesterday was a bit more fragmented.
After 2+ years of work, I’m holding a proof copy of the book Pro BMX Skills. It feels heavy. Thick. Good.
Here’s what it looks like:
IMBA is telling mountain bikers to support a proposal to manage three million acres of recommended wilderness areas as official wilderness areas.
Mountain bikes are currently allowed in some of the recommended wilderness areas. They are not allowed in any wilderness areas.
What’s going on here? Has IMBA made a huge concession, or even a mistake? Here’s the story behind the press release.
Yes, at least in the beginning. Read on:
You can rock the pump without dirt — and even without wheels.
I often drive south through Lakewood, CO on the way to meetings in Littleton. I always pass Dinosaur Ridge on Highway C-470, and I always think, “Oh man I gotta ride there.”
Today was the day.
Hi Lee !
First of all, thank you for the help which you brings us by your website and your book.
I created an association (in France) and we plan to build a bike park of 4500 square meters with 4 zones :dual/pumptrack/dirt/freeride.
I look for software of drawing which would allow me to conceive the park in 3D ???
Thank you for your advice and a long life to your website

Hi Lee: I’ve been feeling too stretched out and too far forward on my bike. I want to get a shorter stem but I have a Cannondale and they’re pretty expensive, so I want to get the right one. I have a 120mm stem now. Not sure if this is a daft question, but can you recommend what length I should go down to? I was thinking either 80 or 90mm. I guess it probably won’t make that much difference which… Thanks for any advice. Simon
