The sweetest trails and riding spots
Hello Lee,
I hope all is well with you and your wife + kidlets!!!
I’m thinking of getting into BMX and was wondering if you can take a look at the pic below and tell me if this bike is too long for me. I’d like to get the right size bike to start with. I’m 5’3” and this is an Intense Race Pro XL with 21” Top Tube. It does feel a bit too big.
Thanks, in advance, for your advice.

This week the world’s best are competing at the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Canberra, Australia. That is awesome and I wish everyone well.
But the real contest goes down Wednesday on a local backyard pump track. 30 top pros. 10 timed laps. $4,000 up for grabs. Game on!
In the Welcome to Pump Track Nation I mention all the hot chicks who will hang out at your new track. Megan, who just bought a copy, wonders about the hot guys.
Thursday’s Giant Bicycles pumpfest at the Keystone Stables was even better than Monday’s. The track was even more dialed, and even more riders rocked it.
Last night’s Giant Bicycles pump-athon at the Keystone Stables rocked! Expect a full report after Thursday’s session. For now:
There was rain. And mud. And pony piss. But I’m proud to say Giant Bicycles’ temporary pump track at the Keystone Stables is ready to rock. A tale of logistics, precipitation and teamwork.
Hey all,
We’re building a pump track at Keystone this weekend — it’s a temporary track for a bike maker’s dealer event — and we need help in the shovel/rake/tamper department. This is a paid gig.
It appears the World Championship of Lyons Endurance Pump has a new owner. I think it’s about time we solidify the protocol and make this official.

After Wednesday’s business meeting in Littleton, we hit the local skate park for some hot concrete action.
Just got back from an XC ride with regional legend and all-around nice guy “Fast” Jon Watt. What a treat to ride at my own pace or — even better — a hair faster than my own pace.
Hey Lee,
How much pump can you pack into a small space? More than you think. A few years ago you posted a few pics of my PT (sweet little Santa Barbara pump track) that I built weeks after seeing your first track. It has since gone through a few changes. As soon as you think you have it dialed, the mighty shovel starts screaming.
Thanks again for the initial inspiration. Here’s a video of the latest incarnation.
