Wish I had known about this earlier. I guess this is my punishment for not reading Sprockets for a while and skiing instead.

I might have to get the DVD and do a informal movie night in Ogden...

It's rare that I'm actually impressed with customer service, but Giro managed to really raise the bar and I feel like they deserve recognition for it. I lost a part on one helmet, and a part broke on...

Any specific reason to stick with Denver? If a being big city is one of the criteria, what about places like Seattle, SLC, Portland, or even Reno?

Nice. I want to see some Asheville/Pisgah stoke from you guys next!

This video evokes feelings in me that are sick and wrong. I spent today skiing some of the best pow of the season, but after watching this video now I just want to get my bike out.

As others said, the car's title is clean. If the person inspecting the vehicle can see the repair (e.g. misaligned panel gaps, subtle paint mismatches, overspray, etc), or if the carfax shows a...

Is there a way to get the specific addresses of foreclosures in UT without having to pay some middleman for it? Seems like this is (or should be) public data.

I know someone in Ogden who could likely do what you need. PM if you need more details.

MrDirt - I must have just missed you on Saturday.

The people working on this should be proud, because the project got done pretty close to the the ambitious deadline that was originally set, even...

I say put it on gear swap.

All kidding aside, eBay might be a good place to try. A lot of art work gets sold on eBay, and there's certainly no shortage of people who will buy crap on there.

The tram project has been dead and buried for at least 2 years now and there is absolutely no way that the person who posted this ad does not know this.

This whole ad reminds me of the Vancouver...

I tried posting something like this on there a while back (albeit, much less eloquent than Jim Hasenauer's excellent post), but there's a group of people on there that monitor new posts and vote them...

Hell, no. That was a great read! Might even persuade a few of the rest of us to join in.

We have a dig day coming up on Sunday, 9am - 12. Full details on the new Facebook page we have set up to make it easy for everyone to keep informed of dig days and other bike-related happenings in...

They're preaching to the choir, of course, but good to see the issue getting some attention:

Looking good! Thanks for pitching in.




Good to see you on finally on here Jeremy . Looks like the weather may be good by Thursday - let me know if you guys plan another dig day.

Truly epic! That had to be one painful climb.

Where can I learn about this new trail (and others being built)? It seems like I've only scratched the surface of the trails around Ogden and would...

I'll be there after going to the BD swap in the morning, if the weather holds. The will also be another guy there. Not too optimistic about the weather though.

PM me if you need specific contact...

Absolutely. There's a few things in the works for those. Meanwhile today, some very decent-sized tables got put in, along with some berms and other goodies.

Much appreciated! These are the stock liners for a new pair of boots, so I'm guessing not as finicky as Intuitions.

You've definitely captured the essence of the riding here this fall. Golden Aspens, tacky dirt, perfect temps. If this is what Utah is like... well, I could get used to it.

Is there any reason I should consider getting thermofit liners done at a shop as a opposed to just popping them in the oven and doing it myself (as per the very old Cooking with Big Tim instructions,...

We had some machinery in today. Lots of progress made. We will be doing some dig days for hand-finishing the first trail soon, so stay tuned!

I love these two trails, but I personally wouldn't put them in the "must do before you die category".

Some real talent behind the lens there! Awesome. Makes me stoked to ride that area (planning a trip for mid-November).

ectreeskier11: I like your spirit!

MrDirt: Bring your bike to test ride sections of the trail.

If come by after 9am, just come on up to the trail and join us -- walk uphill up the road from...

In November, and with only two people, I would probably choose to fly.

I've done the Vancouver-Moab drive and back, straight through both ways. Driving 20 hrs straight is no fun, and for safety...

Sounds like a Rocky Mountain Altitude. There's some decent deals on them on bc.com at the moment.

We are having a dig day at the Ogden Freeride Park this Saturday, 9am onwards. The purpose of this day is to rough in some lines and test ride them to make sure flows and that the proposed features...

Thanks - seems like this boot could be the way to go.

I'm no boot-fitter, but I believe the boot fits correctly. I've been to enough bootfitters myself (and made enough mistakes...) to help her...

My wife will be learning to ski this winter, and she's looking for boots. I've found one pair that fits her very well in all respects, but I'm wondering if it's "too much boot" for her, a Dalbello...

I'm looking for one of these seatposts that is about 6 - 7 inches (150 - 180mm) from the bottom of the seatpost to the seat rail in its lowest position.

Is there such an animal?

Did you happen to see if there is a way to lock it to the hitch? This is one area where the T2 does not play well with the Subaru 1.25" hitch (due to the overengineered design of the Subaru OEM...

The Kuat NV hitch rack is nice, especially for a 1.25" hitch - but outrageously expensive at full retail (not that the T2 or Holdup are much better in that regard).

Anyone know if there's a...

Well, I guess this is where I officially abandon my planned budget for next year's bike.

I'll give you $50 for it? Maybe throw in a sixer of Utah 3.2 to sweeten the deal?

Shuttling Snowbasin? I'm tempted...

Work is proceeding on the freedride park. I'm told we'll be getting machinery in within a couple of weeks.

I'd put my money on this one. I moved to UT from DC recently, and there's much less need to drive, ahem... assertively here. DC metro area drivers are a special blend of stupid AND aggressive; in UT...

About time one of these threads had an ending where justice prevailed.

Thanks for helping get one of these ratbags off the street.

Nicely played. You have a great eye for a good photo.

Anyone know if there's going to be screenings of this film in UT?

Light dusting on the Wasatch this morning!

Here's the story in the paper: Come on, Take a Freeride

Stay tuned. There will be a (hopefully) more accurate story in tomorrow's edition of the local paper.

I'm not normally into long POV videos, but this one is great. Looks like an awesome, fun ride!

That's the best part: there will be much, much less shoveling than normal. The city is providing pretty much any earthmoving machinery we need. Backhoes, dump truncks, water trucks... you name it, we...

I stopped reading at "responsible land use". When someone uses that phrase, it always, always means "so I can ride ATVs there".

Sure, I want more mountain biking -- but not if it means allowing...

Awesome stuff. Did you run into many motos/ATVs on the Skyline trail? I haven't done it yet, and was wondering what the traffic is like.

I love that Inspiration Pt - Ben Lommond ride. Kudos for...

What timeframe are we talking? I would surprised to see Vancouver (as in downtown, West of Main St, etc) houses lose only -10% in the next 5 years. Apartments, even more so. The real estate prices...
