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. ​

Sedona's Newest Trail on My Newest Bike

What could possible make "new bike day" better? New trail day of course. #followcamfriday with Alex Petitdemange on Sedona's newest bit of tech trail. Ground Control. 
After spending way to much time skiing over the last 2 months, the desert was desperately calling my name. What better way to break in my freshly built Yeti SB130LR. Rocks were just begging to be smashed.

Sedona just recently completed a couple of new trail sections for the masses. Ground Control links Airie into Outer Limits, offering a more technical option in the predominantly XC westside trail experience.

Not bad.

The amount of trail work that has occurred in the last few years is staggering. The local Forest Service has been working closely with the local riding community to produce some of the best sections of trail anywhere. This sort of cooperation is an example of things being managed and built correctly. How very refreshing. Good work Sedona. Keep it up.

Frenchie Alex Petitdemange works at Absolute Bikes in Oak Creek. When he isn't fixing your broken bike, Alex is smooth and pinned. He has been know to strap a baguette to his frame for the longer rides in the area. A connoisseur of wine and cheese. He is faster than you in his car as well, but that is another story entirely.

I am in town for the Sedona Mountain Bike Festival. You may see me riding shirtless, with jeans, and a flask of tequila. The trails will probably be too crowded to properly ride this weekend, so I may just get drunk and ride around and heckle people. If you see me out there, please give my a hard time. You bay get a sop from my flask in return.

Keep it locked right here for more red-rock smashing. Spring has sprung. I can hardly contain myself.  This new bike feels amazing so far. The coil is smoothing out the Sedona chunk nicely. Very nicely.
