Godøy, Norway, is one of the tens of thousands of islands that dot, speckle, and bejewel the Norwegian coastline, and though quite small it’s connected by a series of bridges and tunnels to one of the most charming towns anywhere, Alesund. It sports a nice little surf break and epic singletracks that drop off two [...]

The concept and execution of this Rocky Mountain video are spot-on excellent. The idea is that world-class riders Wade Simmons and Thomas Vanderham are going to shred one of B.C.’s epic freeride trails — but on Rocky’s Element 120mm travel XC bikes. And shred it they do, with style and more than a few doses [...]

“Daypack” can mean anything from a zippered lunch sack to a summit-worthy technical masterpiece. This spring, I tried a whole mess of them for function, versatility, and how well they pass the ultimate test: Which do you reach for when you leave the house? These four pass muster and then some, each with strong features [...]

Under the Banner of One Mountain Bike Stoke

This is a trailer for a film about mountain biking that makes it debuts in a few days at Sea Otter. It’s maybe a little self-congratulatory, and were I to be especially cynical about it, I might say it looks like yet another huck film, with plenty of pros sending terrain and airs that most [...]

The roadie fingerless gloves and Timex — not to mention bar ends [...]

Fresh Goods: Santa Cruz Tallboy LTc 29-Inch Mountain Bike

If you’re a Santa Cruz fanboy/girl then right about now we’d recommend lifting your chin off the floor and getting a mop for all that drool. Because as we could’ve predicted ever since riding the stupidly great original Tallboy, SCB wasn’t going to rest with a mere four-inch-travel 29er crowning its big-wheel fleet. Yeah, you [...]

Colin, Bill, Tony, and Damian were ready to race in the 4-Man category for their fifth straight year. Then fate [...]
