Vital MTB bike check!

Yesterday, Vital mtb posted up my bike check from Ashland! I shot with Tim Zimmerman, and he was so bad ass, I had to step it up and get a sweet bar drag shot on the Jabberwocky trail. Check it, and my bad ass Felt Virtue LTD. Thanks to Tim Zimmerman, and Todd Toth for this rad opportunity!

Hood river Enduro, day 1

Just got off the hill from day one of the Hood river Enduro. A little rainshower made things a little interesting today. Trails are still pretty dry, but with the addition of some slick spots on the hard pack corners. The riding here is so bad ass. Trails are awesome, some of the best enduro courses I've ever ran. There is some pedaling, but mostly a lot of really good singletrack. I'd say this is true enduro racing (except for the shuttles that take out the pedaling). Here's a few pics from the trail today.


View of Mt. Hood from the top. Oregon sucks.

Kona's Barry Wicks and Giant's Kelli Emmett at the start of stage 1

Scott Fellers, stoked as always!

Even the transfer sections are sick!

The VAN

Yup, I got a new (to me) van. My Dad is the fuckin man, and didn't want to sell this beautiful piece of American muscle to some random dude with a ton of kids that wouldn't appreciate it. But I will, I'll appreciate it all over the West coast, thanks Dad! Plus, I think he wants grandkids (eew) and probably thinks my ownership of said van will help me with the ladies. He's right.

It's a 1989 GMC Vandura 2500, with the custom interior. Fully carpeted interior with curtains, mini blinds, mood lighting, wood trim. All the seats (captain's chairs, how fitting...) swivel 360 degrees, even the driver's seat. The back seat/couch folds down into a bed. The real deal.

You might see me rollin through your town, but only if you have some sick trails. This is a race van. Come on in, have a beer. It's legal in this bad boy, it's a "recreational vehicle". Here's a photo of the van looking sexy to make you jealous. Keep your eyes out for this beast, come say hi.


Headed to the Hood River Enduro this weekend. Then a couple weeks off till Downieville. Stay tuned...
