Each year Mt. Bachelor Resort in Bend, Oregon holds a banked slalom snowboard race hosted by local professional snowboarder Josh Dirksen. It’s called the Dirksen Derby. This year, thanks to the snow season getting a late start, the course was particularly hard, icy, and fast. In other words, it was a perfect course for some snow mountain biking. These guys make it look like a ice version of Phil’s Trails’ legendary Whoops Trail. Kirt Voreis and Carson Storch get all over it in this edit from Pete Alport.

We’ve often thought about the job of a saddle. In fact, we’ve often wondered just what it . . . better clip it right there and roll the edit!

Sexy 80s & 90s eyewear is making a strong comeback. Don’t think it’s not. We know. We walked the Agenda Show aisles. Smith Optics did it better than anyone back in the day, and now they’re bringing it back exactly as it was done before with their new Smith Archive Collection.

With only 12 days to go, Los Angeles’ Derringer Cycles is no where near reaching their Kickstarter goal of $75,000 for their new Derringer Electric. In fact, with 30 backers they’ve only raised $1,644. Which is strange, because these electric board track inspired powered bicycles look amazing.
At the heart of every Derringer Electric is a powerful lithium-ion (Li-NMC) battery. This safe, reliable chemistry allows for high current draw, has great energy density, and still provides a long lifetime of 1000 recharge cycles. Bikes are available with 37, 52, and 63-volt batteries, each with a 12.5 Ah capacity. Heritage and Signature Series bikes include a 4 Amp charger that can recharge a fully drained battery in three hours. Bespoke buyers get an upgraded 6 Amp charger that drops charging time to two hours.
Guess no one wants a really cool looking electric bike. Click the link for more info.

We don’t have to worry about snow when we ride, but we do have the occasional interaction with drivers who believe they own the road. It is great to see the level of interaction in the East. An showdown like this in Southern California would likely result in two people being shot and or killed. But out East, it’s just a conversation on the road.

Yes, it’s winter in most of the country (we’re not silly enough to live in a winter zone so we’re not really affected) but we still dream of summer mountain bike adventuring. This short Steve Casimiro edit on the San Juan Hut system will get you jonesing for a little adventure MTB action for sure. For less than a thousand dollars you can ride seven days and sleep six nights in fully kitted, stocked huts from Durango, Colorado to Moab, Utah. Looks pretty good, huh? Better start planning now!

This sentimental clip may not do much to help change the minds of the angry drivers we all deal with on a daily basis, but it is worth watching and passing on to others who might be swayed. Please be safe, aware, courteous, and share the road.

We catch ourselves looking down on other people nearly every time we ride our bikes, but Benny Zenga really is looking down on everyone from such great heights.
