I am so proud of Young Skywalker. Yesterday –when it counted! — he found the perfect flow:
“There were no bobbles or moments,” Alex said. “It was just another run (but I’ve never pedaled that hard or gone that fast!).”

XC champ Heather Irmiger is seeing immediate results from this week’s kung fu skills session.
“Lee, wow – I really can’t believe the progress I’ve made! Last Sunday really was the last day I sucked 🙂 “
Check out this video from Winter Park, shot by Heather’s husband Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski:
Heather Irmiger — XC national champ, marathon national champ and singlespeed world champ — has asked me to help her descend at a world class level (and have more fun on her bike).
I am all over this project.
In the past two weeks I’ve worked with a two excellent groups from our second largest state.
Pro XC ripper Judy Freeman is off to national XC championships in Idaho today. This morning we sharpened the sword with a bit of Valmont endurance slalom.
Valmont Bike Park in Boulder, CO might be the happiest place on Earth, but Lyons Bike Park is great place for larger groups and technical climbing/descending. Recent adventures:
Last week I rocked a skills session at Valmont Bike Park with Mountain States Cup pro pinner Eric Landis. We hit the basics, then he attacked his drills with rare aggression. As he told me at the beginning of our session, “I’m dressed to crash.”
Yesterday I ripped some pump track and pumped some big rocks with Crank Brothers pro XC racer Judy Freeman.
Fun session this week with Tokyo Joe’s pro XC racer Erin Huck.
Emails like this get me stoked.
The conditions are perfect! Come rip it up with me this Saturday, 9 a.m. to noon. I also have spots Wednesday, June 6 and Saturday, June 9. Braaap!
Last weekend I taught a skills clinic with EPC Multisport in Fruita, and it was rad.
A quick hit featuring: EPC Multisport, Fruita Bike Park, 18 Road trails, Kokopelli trails and the incredible Stumpy 29 S-EVO
