Is blogging still a thing?

So there I was, drinking beer and looking at the internet. What ever happened to my blog..... I don't think people even realize that I race mountain bikes for a living. I think people know me as that guy who posts weekly POV videos on YouTube about riding on the edge of some scary cliff in the desert. I am a Vlogger now, do I really need a blog? Well, after a two-year hiatus, I just turned it back on because it made me smile. Let me know what you guys think. Times were simpler then. More projects, more problems. Wouldn't trade it for anything. ​

Directional DH

#followcamfriday riding Longhorn, Denver's Directional DH trail with James Weingarten in 2020
This is my first time riding Longhorn in a couple of years, since Jefferson County officially made the lower section "bikes only" and directional in 2018. I am very happy to report that this track is getting faster and more rough than ever. Just the way we like it. I cannot say it enough, our user group needs more of this. It drastically eliminates user conflict and gives us a place to ride to our full potential. A huge "thank you" from mountain bikers everywhere.

A skiff of snow in the shadows and mild temperatures makes for hero dirt, this time of year. Once if freezes again, this makes for death-ice, so choose your timing wisely. Death-ice, like grab the brakes and go faster, death-ice. Sub optimal, but always engaging. We timed this lap properly and were rewarded with some tacky bits and a lack of traffic. Well played.

Be like James, always jump the road. It is more like a driveway, or a cart-path. But tarmac, nonetheless always needs to be jumped. Never not.

This represents the final episode of season 5 of FollowCamFriday. What a journey it has been. I would have never imagined that this would grow into a full-time situation and am eternally thankful for James and all of my friends who have been a part of this project since it began. My goal has always been to provide quality riding videos in hopes of motivating you to get out there and enjoy your time one the bike. Thank you for being here and supporting my end goal.

Season 6 is on the horizon and I have some new and exciting things in the works. Colorado will always be my home, but I am definitely looking forward to a return to global normalcy in 21 and a return to the travel and exploration that has keep me motivated to ride for so many years. I am missing my Canadian friends the most right now, fingers crossed for 21.

As I type these words on Thanksgiving, I truly have much to be grateful for. Cycling and the friends I have made along the way have made my current life possible. I have amazing support from my industry partners to pursue my dreams and have been able to motivate people to ride their damn bikes. At the end of the day, this means the most to me. Just go ride. Appreciate every minute.

Thank you for all of the support over the last 5 years. Go ride your bike.
