NJDirt.com's website re-design is turning some heads apparently, and the folks at Rip.tv took notice. Check it: http://www.rip.tv/video/watch/1490/

Fast = Good!

As skill level improves, speed on a bike will always go up. Some of the msot fun I've had on a bike is trying to pin it through familiar sections of trail. As I've become a better bike handler, I'm more capable of carrying higher speed into and out of turns, obstacles, etc.
Here's a brief but good article on why going faster makes tough sections of trail easier to negotiate.

Check out this vid on Littermag.com. It's a highlight reel from the Portland, OR jump event that took place last week.

NJDirt.com is back!

Mark over at NJDirt.com saw his site hacked last month, but instead of getting bent out of shape he used it as an opportunity to revamp the site over the last 4 weeks.

The site went back online last night and is bigger and badder than ever!

Congrats go to the NJDirt crew, and keep checking back as more good stuff is in the pipeline.

What's your excuse?

It's too cold.
I have too much work.
I hurt my knee.
I don't want to hurt my knee.
I have to go to this party...

Excuses -- legit or fabricated -- act as a sort of glue, stitching our lives together so that our time is used as we best see fit.

Aaron Fortheringham has no use of his legs, and yet he still throws down better than most.
Take a peek, and stop with the excuses. Push yourself hard, crash, and dust yourself off. Repeat.

If you haven't seen it, now you have no excuse!

Nice Touch

I really like the ingenuity and execution of this rear disc brake mount.
