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. ​

Who Needs A Front Wheel?

As it turns out, I definitely need a front wheel. Ted Morton on the other hand, clearly does not. #followcamfriday #lovesbackwheel in Revelstoke
In last week's episode, we rode the lower section of this trail. The top section is done as an out and back and adds 2,700ft to the lap. If you ride Frisby Ridge into Ultimate Frisby, you are looking at a solid 5K of down. Best 40 minutes of your life.

This blue run will put a tear in your eye if you ride it late in the day when the #lightbro is peeking. This is the stuff of mtb dreams. It's a bit overwhelming actually, I was speechless at the bottom. Left to contemplate how it is that I am so fortunate to do this sort of thing for a living. Humbling to say the least.

Seriously, what the fuck... This place is unicorns and rainbows. Like shooting fish in a barrel. You would have to try really hard to not have a good time on this one.  You would also have to try really hard to shoot a bad photo or video from the alpine here. Next level nug mining.

Things just got better as we descended into the forest. Sunset alpine gave way to a black and green tunnel. Exactly where you want to be. Traction levels on fleek. Ted was only using half of the available traction as he spent most of his time on his rear wheel. Or in the air.

Ted runs the BC Enduro Series and as it turns out, rides a bike like a magician. His style reminds me so much of Mr. Kendallweed. All of the back wheel, none of the fucks.  Always pull up and brake as late as possible. We need to organize a back wheel olympic event with these two and James W. Wyn is also invited.

I could definitely live in Revelstoke. When you get to the bottom of a run and can't quite find the words to describe what just happened, you are in the right spot. I mean, would you just look at it.... Unreal.  If you look closely, there is a unicorn hiding in the bush.

#Followcamfriday is on the way to the Yeti Tribe Gathering in Snowmass, Colorado. Canadian hangover strong. The only cure is maple syrup, whiskey, and bacon. I hope to survive. They have these things where I am going.
