We’ve been hard on the BLOAT (Biggest Liar Of All Time) for a while now. After watching this little edit, however, we’ve finally found enlightenment on the subject. The BLOAT is not some evil force in the world of cycling. He’s not an ogre, or a monster, or someone who will live out his days in infamy. No, he’s just a common, ordinary asshole who happens to be very good at cycling. . . and assholing.

Yeah, there are probably worse days than ripping the mountains of Chile with friends in the Andes Pacifico Enduro. If you’re suffering one of those, then please, let this be your distraction. Even if it is only for a few minutes.

He’s faster. Much faster than you. Brian Lopes is faster than you and you and you and you, too. And now he’s riding for Intense Cycles. Sounds like a perfect match.

It has been said that watching XC mountain biking racing is like “watching paint dry,” those of us who prefer the climb to the downhill do not agree. In that spirit we offer up the 2014 US Cup Pro Series from Fontana, California and one of the best cross country race courses in the West.

During the 2014 Vital MTB Test Session the crew took a little side hill detour on White Line in Sedona, Arizona. We have no interest in this line and honestly, it’s pretty hard to watch, but damn, Jess Pedersen, Lear Miller and John Hauer are gnarly.

Admit it, you have. It’s just that Marcel Kittel will just get a new bike afterwards. None of us will. For more classic bike throws, click the link.

Self-described “adventure cyclist” Harrison Brown is planning to pedal his bike from Fairbanks, Alaska to Key West, Florida by himself. In the process he plans to make a Youtube travel show about the journey as he rolls along. If you’d like to help him make this whole project happen, click the link and donate some money to his Kickstarter project. We just hope he makes it. Six-thousand miles is a long way to go on a bike, by yourself. That also seems like a few too many distracted drivers to deal with as well.

Every wondered how a bike seat is made? It’s one of the things we’ve through about several times while sitting for hours and hours on our tiny little Prologo saddle. Here’s a little look in the fi’zi:k manufacturing process.

We’ve all shot terrible, jittery video. In fact, most of us do it all the time. Finding a solid, inexpensive rig to smooth things out, however is nearly impossible. Now, a crew from Berlin, Germany is working to create the LUUV system specifically for use with GoPros, iPhones, and other small cameras and best yet, make it affordable and modern.
LUUV is a camera stabilizer for all action cams and smart phones that enables you to shoot shake-free footage while you are in motion. Thanks for a full three-axis-stabilization, LUUV separates the motion of your hand from the camera. You hand is moving, but the camera is not. The outcome: flowing, steady footage instead of shaky videos.
Co-founders Felix Kochbeck and Tim Kirchner are launching their product on IndieGoGo and hope to raise $50,000 in the next 53 days. If you’d like to help them out, click the link and be one of the first to get the LUUV when they begin production.
