if 2018 taught me something, it was that doing stupid shit on mountain bikes with your homies is the BEST! oh, and also - always wear your GoPro and never stop recording. blooper footage is so elusive, happens when you least expect it! but this is what the cameras have captured over the course of the last season or so! enjoy! happy new year lets shred the hell out of 2019!!!

local billionaire (michael dell, joe liemandt, robert smith, tito, john paul devoria - patron, and one other I know of) takes up mountain biking, buys thousands of acres of land and builds trails. local billionaire packs the city council, travis county trustees, and BCP board to get BCP opened up to mountain bikers.

Another way to look at it is that the numbers really don't mean anything. Achieving repeatable results is more about whether the reading on the pump is consistent. If you find that 100psi indicated is what works for you, airing it back up to a 100 reading on the same pump should provide consistency. Regardless of whether the actual pressure is 95 or 105 you are able to duplicate what you have determined to work for you based upon the reading on that pump.

Also worth mentioning, the wealth of cool trail building tools that are available to the builders of ARR sanctioned trails 🙂 Now go spend the $40 fucking dollars ya filthy animals!!

As I understand it you only lose pressure when attaching the pump. When removing the pump the Schroeder valve is closed before the seal breaks and what is heard escaping is only the pressure remaining in the pump's hose.

Some of those made me laugh, and some made me cringe...well done video!

Saw that this morning. Entertaining for sure!

lol I seriously doubt they are covering lift fees, but I bet you could talk them into covering your lift fee if you buy a bike. 🙂 ..Al

Only dangerous in that I really want a new bike.

Ooooh, I should be getting mine soon. *checks mailbox*

Just saw this posted on FB https://www.facebook.com/events/472552293274303/?ti=as

I think that's going to be next Neveruary.

here is the first one from like a year ago

I heard you do all the sound effects too. [emoji15] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I started riding on visits to the in-laws around 95 and we moved here full time in 98. I’ve got a binder full of old maps from all over the south like those. Screen shots from Mapquest to the trailhead and sketchy hand drawn “not to scale” maps. I loved the adventure of it back then! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

When are they gonna announce the free trial weekend????????

Okay, it is raining out there like a cow pissing on a flat rock and I feel I may have had a hand (or foot, as it were) in bringing this on. All I did was order some pedals. This reaction on the part of Murphy/Trail Gods/Mother Nature/whatever seems a little over the top. Especially considering how much prime trail time has been lost to weather this Fall/Winter so far. Just the same, I feel like I should apologize.

Loved that place! Was one of a few truly technical XC races back in the day. -CJB

I have multiple shock pumps. Standard 300psi Rockshox, 600psi Rockshox and a digital Fox pump. The digital is good for suspension that is sensitive to small psi changes. As far as accuracy they're probably all off a bit. Basically set your suspension to whatever psi gets you where you need to be and use that as your reference. Same goes for tire pressures.

only bruised egos! hahaha

Nice video! "I'm good!"

Excellent Yard Sale reel!

Watched that on YT. Any injuries out of all that carnage?

REI carries some of their road shoes.

It was great meeting you the other day, and thanks for the stuff. Keeping the hobby alive is tough, young people are too busy with other things to think flying RC planes is cool, but we are reaching some of them. Thanks again!

Thank you to everyone that responded on behalf of ARR as it was very eye opening how involved the club is. I had a misconception that the trail builders mostly did everything on their own without realizing how much community effort went into creating a name for ARR with local governments to help build trails. I was one of the guilty that enjoys brushy all the time, but was not a member of ARR....that has changed. Thank you for all you do!

a lot of carbon frames especially now have non-round, oddly and varying shaped frame tubing designs. IMO this leads to weird clamping forces and uneven clamp/weight/stress distribution on the frame wherever you are clamping the stand. im just gonna say its probably a less than stellar idea to do that. the structural carbon whatever wasn't designed for that. I personally just clamp the stand on the fat part of the dropper shell sticking out of the seat tube. since im tall, my dropper has a considerable amount sticking out of the frame, or just hang the bike by the saddle over the stand

I must confess, I'm pretty pissed at RF for getting those pedals and admitting it. Hopefully it's dry by Sat.
