Back to digging

Trails are starting to look better but still a lot of work to be done, this winter was rougher on them than last winter thats for sure.  Also have the XC going a little better, the CH is turning into a bike mecca maybe I should make a cyclodrome down there next.

But even though the weather is nice and snow is probably the last thing on your mind right now, watch this video.  Dude ripping it as his local resort in a pretty unique way.

MayDays

Are awesome, places are great for riding right now and you can even snowboard if you really want to (and want to work for it).  Me and Smitty decided it would be a good idea to take a few days off for the Highland season opener and as it happened the weather was perfect the whole time.  Dusty days of riding the lift and nights of drinking and hiking for night runs, and even some hiking for snowboarding were how the week went.

Basically I'm psyched Highland is open again for the season!

Only bike related pic of the week

 

The season that just won't end

Lots of snow early, a huge thaw middle, and a shit ton of snow late has kept this ski and snowboard season going into May.  And with snow I just couldn't let another year go by without making it up Mt. Washington and into Tuckerman Ravine.  The hike was long but it was a big party in the bowl and what an awe inspiring place it is.  Pictures do it absolutley no justice but I'll try to let them do the talking.

Time to celebrate back at Highland!

And end the weekend off with a pumptrack porcupine sighting.

Edit:  Just saw this holy shit must watch.



I can edit now!

I finally got a new computer and can edit videos again woohoo!  So to celebrate I put this quick thing together for winter storm Nemo, I'll be slowly going through my old footage and putting together edits, as well as getting new footage.  But anyways here is the Nemo edit, great weekend that started with bikes in the snow, had a storm day at Cannon with 12"+, and returned to Highland for a bluebird sunday.





Smitty, Bubba, Keith and myself hit up Wachusett Saturday for the day before the season ends.  Its always a good time to dig in the morning and snowboard in the afternoon.

Moonshine at the trails keeps us warm before the weather really gets warm.

And if you like trails or videos with them you should probably watch these.

Spring is just about here

Been a pretty sweet winter snow wise if you're into that kind of thing, which I am.  Still snow to be had and hope to get in a couple more days.

Also pretty psyched to dig and ride again though. This is a good article about trails even though its about MTB trails its pretty much the same for BMX.

No good trails videos yet though so this will have to do.

Sprinter

Spring + Winter = Sprinter and that seems like the season we're in right now.  Two feet of snow one day, then mid 50's the next, and then rain after that, and maybe back to snow next week?  Its a good thing its not trails season because its freakin soggy out there right now.  I love winter and have had a great one, but this video makes makes me wish it was trails time already.



Also most things in this are insane.  No hand double fronty?
