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. ​

Buffalo Creek Revolution Enduro Preview

After having way too much fun riding Blackjack last week, James and I continue the Buffalo Creek kitty-litter surf tour. #followcamfriday giving you a preview of next weekend's 5 stage enduro race. Come out on May 20th and drink beer while heckling us! Throw things. 
What? An Enduro race at Buffalo Creek? Correct. Front rangers rejoice. You finally get to show everyone what is up at your local trails. Instead of imaginary racing on Strava, you can race in real life, on the same day, under the same conditions, against your peers. You can even have a beer afterwards with your fellow competitors. Try that with your  iPhone.... The Revolution Enduro Series is fresh this year and has stops at Angel Fire, Steamboat and Granby Ranch.

#followcamfriday will be producing event previews leading into each of the four events to raise awareness and increase the stoke. Keep it locked right here for updates throughout the summer. Consider supporting local races. This community is amazing. Most of my life-long friends I owe to mountain bike racing and the good people that frequent these sort of events. My people.

As per usual, everyone's favorite back wheel unicycle gymnast is getting things off to a good start. James rides for the people and doesn't care about racing. He is still faster than you, but prefers stunts over Strava and has no time for front wheels. If I had 1/2 the skill of James, I would be famous in real life, not just on the internet. #irony

Iv'e always kind of turned my nose up at Buffalo Creek in the past. Other than Blackjack, I didn't think there was a whole lot of interesting trail to ride. Well my friends, I stand corrected. There is definitely a bit of pedaling, but once you are up to speed, the descents will melt your mind. My new "XC" bike definitely isn't slowing me down, but, there are actually some scandalous high-speed sections with roots and rocks. I really enjoyed my kitty-litter surfing session.

It can generally be said that any section of the Colorado Trail is something worth riding. I haven't met a section that I didn't enjoy. The section of the CT between Little Scraggy and Green Mountain is legendary. 30mph, long sigh lines, rocks, blasting through the pines. So much fun. And Little Scraggy... Where did that come from and why haven't I ridden that before? 
Picture
Charlie's Cutoff is pretty rad. Flat turns and rock booters everywhere. James is certified. Be like James. Always pull up. After all, you can't actually hurt yourself while you are in the air. I'll figure out the landing when I get there. 
Keep it locked right here race fans. Hope to meet everyone this weekend! Please corner me and introduce yourself if you come out to heckle. You will be rewarded with the most awkward hand-shake that you have ever experienced. Love to meet ya.
