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 [...]
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 [...]
This past weekend, I did something that I have not done in a long time…brought out the rigid 29er single speed to the mountains. Let me preface this by saying, I love suspension. The more the better. What modern day suspension designs have done for the sport of mountain biking is amazing. We are able [...]
There are certain rules every mountain biker should live by on the trail. It’s run them down… Pay It Forward – Tubes, quick-links, a helping hand. You’ll need it one day too. You brought it out…you bring it home – No one likes a litterbug. Keep the trail clean. Know your role – Fast climber? [...]

As part of a promotional series, Danny MacAskill and Dig Deep Originals got together to publish a series of YouTube videos to help you out with your trials moves and tricks. While you [...]
I have a friend of mine that is known for saying, “Would you drive a car without an tachometer? Then why would you ride a bike without a heart rate monitor?” While the analogy might seem a little funny at first, it actually does have a lot of merit to it. Your heart rate directly [...]
This past weekend was a brutal one. With multiple weeks in succession of being out of town, I was itching for a ride in the worst way so there wasn’t anything that was going to keep me off the bike on Saturday and Sunday if I could help it. Sometimes you just need rides and [...]
This guest post was written by a great friend of Bike198, Kyle Glave. Not only is Kyle an avid mountain biker for over 19 years, part time endurance racer, lifelong outdoor adventurist, but we have ridden together for years. I thought this article on flow would be a great lead in to a weekend of [...]
This past weekend, I hung up the suspension bikes to get out on my 29er rigid singlespeed. It had been awhile since I had ridden the one gear bike and even longer since I had forgone suspension on the dirt. A group of us decided it was a good idea to make this ride a [...]
This past weekend, a group of us headed up to Pisgah National Forest in North Carolina to get some tech riding in. The area is about 3 1/2 hours from Atlanta and features arguably the best riding on the east coast and some of my favorite riding out of anywhere I have been to date. [...]
Decreased daylight hours and looming cold weather means the night riding season has begun for mountain bikers. While the weekends are showing promise of perfect riding weather, the weekday rides are undergoing drastic change as we prepare to ride off into darkness. As with anything done at night, there is different gear that you must [...]
In the northern hemisphere, fall is coming up and that means sunny and 70 weather that is so perfect you want to never leave the trail, so longer mountain bike rides are on the horizon. Last night, around our usual Tuesday night mountain bike ride table at dinner, we started talking about longer mountain bike [...]
