February 9, 2010

Kenda Nevegal on Tom’s Thumb from MTBikeAZ
I’d say at least half if not more of the bikes I demo at Interbike are stock with Nevegals. I’ve always liked them on the demo bikes but never owned a pair for my own steed where I feel completely comfortable with bike geometry and can really feel [...]

For some reason the road has been calling me and the towers up on South Mountain were singing like Sirens to my ears. With a break in the weather yesterday, Big Red and I set out for my first road summit to the towers of South Mountain. I’ve ridden the road to Holbert on my [...]

Titus Demo Day at Hawes

January 20, 2010

Last Saturday I hit up the Titus Demo Day at Hawes. I had one thing in mind…riding the Rockstar. Right from the moment I hopped in the saddle I felt at home. I seriously either get a good vibe or a bad vibe from a bike as soon as I sit on it…and the medium [...]

December Fins

December 28, 2009

I spent the day after Christmas out on FINS. I almost wish I lived out West so I could ride it more often, it’s that good. Cold morning but we warmed up as we rode. I shot some downtube footage with my bro-in-law. Enjoy the action.

Major Tom Extended

December 22, 2009

This is the extended version of the Major Tom vids I posted earlier. Screen resolution didn’t translate from .mov to .wmv in editing…I’m a noob so I may learn how to get it right next time. Hopefully this is the first of many more vids with a soundtrack.
