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. ​

First Laps on Trestle 2021

It's a tough job but someone has to do it. Join Shawn Neer and I for some preseason laps in the Trestle Bike Park. #followcamfriday chairlift season. 
Ah yes, chairlift season is finally here in Colorado. A wet spring has left a bunch of snow in the alpine and made opening the bike parks a bit of a chore this year. Props to the trail crew in Winter Park for making this happen for opening day on Saturday, June 19th. These lads don't get enough credit for what they do so you can show up and blow up their work.

It looks like Shawn Neer is about to die here, but I assure you this was intentional. Full nose manny all the way to the bottom like a champion. Shawn has a unique approach to riding, a perfect blend of creativity and speed. Shawn jumped on a plane after filming this and headed off it Italy for the first EWS round this weekend. You would be foolish to bet against him. Wish him luck.

The infamous Banana Peel. It had been a long time since we had ridden this and it was nice to see some updates and improvements to the line in recent years. Keeping freeride alive, one jank bridge at a time. The bridges make squeeking sounds as you carve around them, but that just means they love you. A love ballad composed by rusty nails and weathered wood. Music to my ears.

Another classic Winter Park feature that has endured the test of time. The sun has not been kind to the paint job on this puppy, but it rides just as good as it ever has.

Little dangler for the people.

So, come on out this weekend and smash some laps with the homies. See if you can hang onto your bike for 6 or 8 laps. Don't forget that beer dehydrates you, so maybe stick to water for optimum success. Enjoy!
