- A few pics from the National Champs
I spent the day at Sol Vista yesterday taking in the national championship pro race. The course was sick. Lots of big booters and flat corners. Aaron Gwin took the victory home on his Yeti.

- Private Ranch Trails
So this summer I was lucky enough to get hired to do some trail work for a former business colleague of mine. He has a gorgeous ranch in the northern foothills, and plenty of space for some built features. He’s just getting his feet wet in the DH scene so we proposed to build some pretty low consequence, but bigger stuff. We put in 3 large tables, and a really fun bermed single track entrance. Everything turned out great, and he hired us for a second round, which this time was an 8 jump mountain crossy line. We lined up a bob cat and went to town in a dusting of fresh snow.
Of course the setup is private so don’t expect to ride any of this any time soon :p

- Pacific Travels
I have been lucky enough to get out and do some traveling lately. First, my adventures took me to the lush climate of British Colombia where I checked out the Whistler Mountain Bike park and Vancouver. Next it was on to San Fran to see Radiohead and many others at the Outside Lands Festival.
Here are some pictures of my travels

- Best or Worst of Both Worlds?
I came across an interesting thread at the aprilla forum. A home made MX bike with Downhill bike parts. There’s also a commercial version being made in New Zealand. It’s a really cool idea and one I have gone over in my head many times. I’d really like to get my hands on one. I applaud these guys for their creativity and dedication but I wonder if it truly rides like a DH with an engine, or more of an underpowered moto…hopefully I can find out someday.
