The Met Kaos Ultimalite is a fancy lid, a fancy weight and a fancy price. As my Grandmother said, "If you want to get ahead, get a hat".

Might as well make it a good one I always thought, what do you think?

The straight goods on Kicking Horse Bike Park, straight from the trail crew's fingertips.

Summer isn't over until the white stuff flies at Kicking Horse Bike Park. The best part of our season is just starting. In September the sun has stopped sucking the moisture out of your body, the incessant drone of bugs fades, the colors change, the light is sharper and richer, the RVs are mostly off the highways and the trails are buff. All season's work has been for the sake of killer riding in September. Are you coming?

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending the Truvativ HammerSchmidt launch in the beautiful town of Pemberton B.C. Pemberton was the perfect setup for this launch as the riding in and around town is tough to rival anywhere. Great ascents that rewarded you with even better descending are in abundance there and the terrain is what HammerSchmidt was built to excel on.

Here is my personal take on my experience with the Truvativ HammerSchmidt:

Typically women receive 30 to 40 per cent less prize money than men in races because female enrollment is considered not high enough to justify an equal payout.

Crankworx 2008 will go down as another successful event for the crew at the Whistler Bike Park. 9 days full of events drew riders from all over the world to this massive venue to be both competitors and spectators.

An event this large is tough to cover in its entirety, but here are some high and low lights from Crankworx 2008.

My Crankworx Experience

The event everyone has been waiting for has finally started. The biggest names with the gnarliest tricks and speed. There was an enormous amount of prize money up for grabs and you bet that you will see the craziest stuff get thrown down to win cash.

This year my Crankworx experience was like no other. For the past few years I have come to Crankworx as a spectator and watched from the side lines. This year I was competing in the VW Trick Showdown and the Monster Energy Slopestyle thanks to my win at Whistler's Air Affair.

It is with deep regret Silver Star Bike Park announces the impending death of Summer, 2008. Born on June 20, 2008 at 4:59 p.m., summer never truly got into full swing until Silver Star Bike Park opened June 26. While Summer's official demise will take place on September 22 at 3:40 p.m., for all intents and purposes, it's over Sept. 1 at 5 p.m. That's when Silver Star Bike Park closes for the season.
