Yes you can: a video must-see
Jerad Fischer, who recently had his lower leg amputated and is still getting used to his bionics, rolls the Large Slopestyle line at Valmont Bike Park.
This is one solid, skilled, passionate dude.

One hour. Eight laps. Rock!

Super Bike Park opening party time!
Superior Bike Park, Superior CO:
• I am proud of the park layout and build quality (thanks Nick Simcik and Jerad Fischer). Every line flows like love from a benevolent god.
• Tomorrow, Saturday, March 18, we do a little cleanup. We celebrate. We ride.
• Tamping, sweeping and raking 9 a.m. to noon-ish. Come on out. With minimal effort, you can say you helped build the park. Bring a tamper if you have one. Otherwise, bring feet, rakes and shovels. Oh, and push brooms.
• After work, we eat, drink, share the stoke and RIDE OUR BIKES!
Don’t be surprised if there’s a Pump Track World Championship.
The work is done. TIME TO RIDE!

Foot came off pedal during jump = not good
Our man John fancies himself a smooth rider, yet he lost his pedal on a jump and broke his ankle. He’s searching for meaning in this disaster.
The Carbon Enduro Chronicles: Lookout Mountain
Last Friday I was rolling through Golden on the way back from a meeting in Littleton. My clients and I are working on a 60-page partnership proposal: the kind that determines how I pay my mortgage. It’s a fun and relaxing process. So so fun and relaxing that I was crawling out of my skin needing a ride.
I always see riders parked on the side of Highway 6, and I wonder what they’re up to. Turns out they’re riding a sweet trail.
Bring it: Lyons Outdoor Games this weekend

We rounded out the rollers, fixed the tables and did some general cleanup.
And we rode.
And it was excellent.
