Watching the colored cow’s Rampage event is hard on the nerves. Seeing the stars of freeriding blowing down the mountain can be amazing, while watching the guys who are trying to become stars ride beyond their abilities can be horrifying. Luckily, Carson Storch is a member of the former and not the later. We agree with Carson when he says, at the end of this video, “Yes. Yes.”

Project Bike Love co-founders Belen Ramirez and Erin Machan met on a bike ride and realized that by providing bikes to those who could not afford them they could help women around the world improve their lives. Erin explains:
“I started to see that there are so many women and young girls around the world that are unable to get to school, work, or medical care due to the dangers of traveling on foot,” Machan says. “Some of these dangers include, rape, murder, mugging, human trafficking and the list goes on and on. By giving these girls a bike we can change the world. I couldn’t believe how just a bike could change a girls life. A bike that I use for fun can actually be life changing for young women around the world and for a price that most of us spend on bike stuff weekly.”

. . . all the way home.
We’re just putting this Danny MacAskill edit up to remember when it blasted out into the world. We know you’ve already seen it and that we have no real information to add. It’s perfectly produced, lit, and edited. And looks sweeter than ice cream with sugar on top. If you’re interested in a behind the scenes look at how many people were involved in this colored cow production, you’ll have to look elsewhere.

If you’re headed up to Mammoth Mountain this weekend for the 2016 Kamikaze Games (the Mammoth MTB season’s final hurrah) then you’ll certainly want to check out one of the parks newest flow lines: Midtown. The trail begins with 22 berms (Lombard Street) and then drops into Knee Deep. Click play to see how smooth it is. It’s one more reason we tend to shed a few tears each fall when the snow begins to drop.

Few riders have to worry about rocks and roots coming at them at the same speed they rocket into World Downhill Champ Greg Minnaar’s field of view, but Oakley’s Prizm lens will still make it better.
A three-time mountain bike downhill champion, Greg Minnaar has built a career on assessing and reacting to every detail that comes his way. When he misses a detail, the South African can’t perform at the highest level. Whether it’s a root on the trail or the suspension on his bike, the tiniest details can have the greatest outcome. Minnaar talks about all those minute details while letting loose on his bike on the trails around Santa Cruz, Calif.
And yes, that is Minnar in Santa Cruz. Click the link for more Oakley’s Prizm Lens Technology.
