I am not quite done updating the site, but I am starting to get closer… In the mean time though I wanted to let you all know about a few things that have been and still are going on.
One; Tramdock, whom I used to ride for before the entire team was moved to Backcountry, has been switched from normal webstore with a bunch of products to a one at a time site, kind of like steep and cheap or whiskey militia. The deals will be killer, and they’ll be there till they’re all gone.
Two; I competed in a local, and really kick-ass, Alley Scat bike race around downtown. I didn’t place very well, but it was my first one and I got to meet some really awesome people and have a fun time pedaling around the city.
Three; On Monday I am leaving for the west coast… Julian and I will be heading to Arcata then riding my bike up through the redwoods and up the Oregon coast ending up eventually in Portland. I will be making my best attempt to update regularly from the road, but if that is impossible (which is altogether too likely…) than I will put up the full and exciting story afterwards.

I’m in the process of making the website new and nice. Bear with me, it’ll be much better soon.

It’s Thursday and that means one important thing in Salt Lake; free music! Tonight Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is playing at the Gallivan center. I’ll be riding my tall bike down there and checking it in The Collective’s bike valet. The weather is perfect for a pedal, so I’ll see you there!

As a recap; I spent a good month and a half recently in Whistler coaching at Camp of Champions. This extra summer time on snow opened the door for me to do two things that I enjoy as much as anything else in life: Teach and Learn. The majority of my time was, of course, spent as teacher, instructing the pro-shreds of tomorrow on proper pop and spin technique as well as (who could forget) back-flip day! I watched some of my campers beat their bodies harder than I’ve seen anyone beat down in as long as I can remember trying and trying to learn new tricks and concepts. Conversely, I was able to take a bit of me time and ride with some of the other coaches and pro-campers and learn a few new tricks of my own… Even now, off of snow for a week and a half, and months until the next time I’m on it, I can’t wait to get back up on the mountain and work on taking everything I learned in the park into the powder and natural features.
Until then: biking, climbing, getting in scrappy shape for the winter so that I don’t break myself in half with these new tricks… I’m also planning a bike tour through the Redwoods and up the Oregon coast ending up in Portland with Julian Carr this coming fall which I am getting my bike muscles in shape for as well.
