I’m starting to believe success is 1% genius and 99% determination.
And 50% luck. And 50% kindness of others. And 50% listening to people who know more than you do.

Spots are filling up fast, and this is going to be super fun. We’ll spend a little time on the core skills—gotta make sure everyone is dialed—but we’ll spend most of our time applying advanced kung fu on the Ranch’s slalom, pump track, jumps and other terrain. Good living in Grand Junction, CO. Come on out!

Hi Lee,
I am looking to buy a new wheelset for my bike. i have an ‘09 Sx Trail which I use for All Mountain, Light Free-ride, and some DH. I need lighter wheels than i currently have. I have researched the DT Swiss E2200’s and have found that they are inexpensive, strong, and light. I am very eager to buy them as they fit my riding style and are in my price range. I just wanted to get an opinion on those wheels. Would you recommend them?
Thanks,
Matt

Hey Lee,
I wanted your expert opinion on buying an ‘09 Epic. I currently have a ‘06 Stumpjumper and a lot of maintenance is needed to get it to racing shape. I race XC but want a bike that can handle the occasional super d and will be fairly durable. Do you think that the Epic is capable?
Thank you, Davis

I just got back from a PowerMax workout at the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine, and I’m not sure I’m lucid yet, but …

Sorry about the various issues over the past few days, including my non-posting. My host, PowWeb, made a mistake on their backend. They seem to have sorted it out.
Coming as soon as I get a chance: Breaking in brake pads.
