Everything to help you ride stronger and better.
Hey all. I have a few spots open for Saturday’s core skills clinic. It’s at The Fix in Boulder, noon to 3 p.m. You’ll learn the keys to great riding — and dial your kung fu to 11.
More info: Skills clinics with Lee – Group/public clinics
If you can’t pre-register, feel free to show up tomorrow. Come early so you can sign the waiver and pay The Fix’s $5 use fee.
The power of the pump track continues to bind families and build a better world. Images from a recent clinic:
Lee,
I’m starting 4X and would like some tips. Like start technique, general technique, specific technique. ( I like technique.)

While I was in Colorado working, taking care of family and racing BMX, the Lee Likes Bikes legions were kicking butt at the Otter. Here’s a fine example:
Hi Lee,
Thanks for the great site: it’s good therapy while waiting for the snow to melt.
In the meantime, I’ve been riding at the local skatepark and was curious if you had any tips on how to progress towards dropping into a bowl/quarterpipe. I’m in my thirties, and looking down from the coping is super intimidating.
BTW, will your new book on BMX have a section on how to ride pipes and get air?
Thanks!
PS – the two privates classes I did with you were the best thing I ever did for my riding.

Yesterday was No. 5 in Terminal Velocity Racing’s 5-clinic pre-season program, and the Dacono BMX track treated us right.
Master the essential skills of mountain biking. Beginners will gain a solid foundation for safe, enjoyable riding. Experts will improve their smoothness and speed, and learn to ride new terrain. Learn new skills. Increase your confidence. Have more fun!
These public clinics are the world’s quickest and least expensive way to learn the good stuff. Every rider will benefit.
Hey Lee!!
Love the site, love the book. I was wondering if you have had any lower back issues during the course of your cycling experience. Yesterday I was braaaping and today I feel a lot of stiffness and soreness in my lower back. I never had any serious injuries to constitute any sniveling. I’m 37, slightly overweight.I ride a hard-tail similar to the P-series bikes. Usually I find that some heat therapy or even a chiropractor is good when it requires it. My question is this, could it be my technique or should I consider specific back exercises to reduce pain after braaaping? Thanks Lee. See ya’ at Sea Otter!!

Yesterday, for session No. 4 in Terminal Velocity Racing’s pre-season program, we hiked and rode, hiked and rode.
Today was session No. 3 in Terminal Velocity Racing’s pre-season program. We hiked and rode at Left Hand Canyon OHV Area, and it was a great adventure.
Lee,
The city I live in just opened its first skate/bmx park. I really want to learn some bmx riding, I have been a mountainbiker for about 12 yrs. I never had the opportunity to try bmx when I was younger, I am 44 and have never ridden a bmx bike. Which style of bike would you recommend? 20″ bmx, 24″ bmx, or something like a P series from Specialized? Thanks!

I’ve been coaching Terminal Velocity Racing, a new developmental team mainly comprised of monkeys from The Fix Junior Team.
Yesterday morning we wanted to rock some BMX, but the Dacono BMX track was unrideable except for the main rhythm section. What to do? BMX Rhythm Slalom!
