The Gateway Green Bike Park and our efforts with the DirtLab Evolution project received a nice shout out in the bike issue of the Willamette Week (a local paper) thanks to an op-ed contribution penned by local ripper Spencer Burback. If you’re a regular rider of the park, you may recognize Spencer as the rider […]
Robert Axle Project Lightning Bolt-on Axle
Designed and made in the US and based in Bend, Oregon, the Robert Axle Project makes — and I quote, “a shit-ton of axles.” Specializing in thru axles for 12mm and 15mm, they have axle available for trailers, trainers or for riders looking to drop a bit of weight with a cleaner interface. When I […]
Po Zu Star Wars Shoe Collection
I’m a bit of a comic book and sci-fi nerd so when I discovered the Po Zu Star Wars Shoe collection I had to look at all of the shoes. I first came across the Han Solo edition Chuck Taylor look alikes but digging in quickly discovered the Finn and Stormtrooper Boots which are not […]
Camelbak Podium Water Bottle Mud Cap
I know we’re supposed to be hating on Camelbak due to the fact the parent company funds crooked politicians and all that, (hashtag #banNRA) but damn if this small modification to their Podium Water Bottle isn’t the best implemented anti-giardia device I’ve seen. (and used) The Camelbak Podium Mud Cap fits all the Podium bottles, […]
Bike Check: Kim Eakin’s Cannondale Jeykll
Cannondale has been making the Jekyll for a number of years now and although the name and the intent is largely the same, the bikes have changed quite a bit throughout the years. At its heart, it’s always been a hard hitting trail bike, designed to go up hills as well as down them, often […]
VanLife Part 4: the (1st) Rebuild
With the long, wet Oregon winters, getting out of town and spending some time on the road is what having a van is all about. Before taking off for our winter hiatus from the rat race, it was time to sort out some details in our budget van conversion. After a summer of playing as […]
Elements Bike Bag
We’re always looking to try different ways to tote our gear on rides, and we’re not alone. The Elements Bike Bag presents another take on the frame bag, sized to carry repair essentials on the bike. It’s large enough fit a tube, multi-tool, tire lever, quick link and co2, and unlike a velcro strap, the […]

Gateway Green Build Sessions: Linda’s Line Trail Work (UPDATED)
When it comes to Gateway Green trail enhancement projects, one of the areas inquired about the most is Linda’s Line. Linda’s Line, AKA the single track route down the grass covered hillside at Gateway Green, starts just inside the south gate and sweeps back and forth across the hillside. Initially imagined as a climbing trail, […]
Review: Leatt DBX 3.0 Enduro V2 Convertible Helmet
Leatt’s long awaited convertible full face helmet is here and we’ve spent the last few months charging the trails with it. Two helmets in one, it packs twice the punch. Since the initial tease last season, we’ve been looking forward to its release. It is everything we hoped for?
Hurricane Rim Loop, IMBA (not so) Epic — Hurricane, Utah
Utah is a top-level mountain bike destination with amazing terrain that makes for extraordinary mountain bike riding. Although Moab generally gets top billing, we’ve been exploring trails in the Hurricane and St. George area as well, as it’s closer to our winter base in Las Vegas. The Hurricane Rim Loop IMBA Epic has been on […]
