When I saw this image by Will Simmons in the Bike198 Flickr pool, I knew it had to be shared. One of the things I love about mountain biking the most, you can not get from any other cycling discipline…the ability to completely escape the reality in which we live. When you get out into [...]
A friend of mine sent over this link off of PinkBike of Stund Best of 2011. Let’s face it. There are a lot of videos making it around the web of mountain biking in the same locations over and over again. You are either going to see a bigger budget production or a GoPro strapped [...]
This morning, I awoke to carry out my usual routine. My alarm went off (baby crying) about 7am and I promptly hit the snooze button with a bottle. Once he was taken care of, the dogs and I took him downstairs so they could get in their morning sniff of the yard and I hit [...]
Mountain bike shops (often referred to LBS for short) have been around since the conception of mountain biking. What started off as road biking shops that carried a few fat tire options have now become full fledged bike shops with everything both skinny tires and fat tires have to offer. In recent times, the local [...]

Last week, we asked you guys what area of mountain biking you call home. While a lot of us explore different disciplines of mountain biking, there is normally one style that when given the chance to ride…we generally prefer and really feel like we are in our element. The choices for the poll were as follows: XC/XC [...]
This past weekend, I got a glaring glimpse into a life I have left behind in mountain biking. First, let me preface this article by saying the following…this is purely my opinion based off of how I chose to live my life and ride my bike. It does not and will not apply to everyone. It also [...]
This photo done by Tom VH really reminded me of the feeling you get when hammering the flats on an XC mountain biking trail just before gravity is about to assist as you make your way to a downhill. That anticipation for the next twisty, flowy section in between the trees and the load you place on [...]
We are in that time of year. July and August for mountain bikers equals heat, humidity and a sun that just doesn’t want to let you get nice cold air into your lungs that generates power. It is one of the hardest times of the year for mountain bikers as we struggle to hit the [...]
On Bike198, we are going to start featuring one photo a week from the Bike198 Flickr group that really sets up the rides for the weekend. This photo by Adrian Buturca bh3x Photography really caught my eye when scanning through the latest uploads. While many of you do not ride DH, the focus and concentration that [...]
Awhile back, I wrote about not coming back too soon from injury or sickness. Making sure you are fulling recovered is essential to not making things a lot worse on your mind and body as it relates to your personal life and life on the trail. But what about when you are all healed up [...]
I was searching around the other day looking for mountain biking videos that just made me want to get out and ride. Here is a collection of the ones that got the stoke flowing the best. Rocky Mountain Welcomes Back Thomas Vanderham Earlier this year, Thomas Vanderham signed back with his previous sponsor Rocky Mountain [...]
