On the trail with Mike Hopkins

Published 21 hours ago
Source: David Peacock

Bike movies have always been, to me at least, motivation to achieve something greater each time I grace (or in my case disgrace) the saddle of a bicycle. Films provided not only an outlet for my allowance growing up, but also a visual stimulus that incurred a strong desire to ride. The lines ridden in the aforementioned movies were always fascinating and kept me riveted to the screen, especially during the annual season of bike withdrawal known as winter.

Transition Bike's Covert Review

Published 2 days ago
The Covert from Transition Bikes is their answer to the All Mountain rider's demands for a bike that can ride the whole mountain - the ups, the across and the downs. At 6 inches, it falls into suit with a lot of other All Mountain bikes, well how does it work on my local mountains and where I ride? We've had the Covert for 4 months of trail time and it's been all over British Columbia now and even in it's own back yard of northern Washington.

Due to the fact that the Side Flight Champs has had an explosion of hype and exposure we were forced to take it to the next level. We no longer will be holding it at the Pine Valley Jumps, but now we will have custom jumps built for us at San Diego Offroad Park. These guys are giving us control of their tractors and telling us to make it as nasty and massive as we want! Kyle Strait, Cody Warren and Griz will begin construction this week. We now also can provide all you spectators with food and drinks. Don’t worry about having to drive because there is camping on location for only $10 a vehicle.

Downhill scene in Cyprus

Downhill...a sport that has been growing large over the last few decades and every year bikes and tracks are becoming better and wilder. In some countries though, this extreme sport is underdeveloped. One of these countries is my country, Cyprus. A small and beautiful island situated in the Mediterranean sea. An island, which most of the year, has something which many people would like to have, especial during winter months, the sun.

One Wheel - Kootenay Style

Published Nov 11, 2009 at 18:09
I've been talking to young Mike Parenteau over the course of this past season as he continually tries to convince me how rad riding on one wheel is (and I'm not talking wheelies here). When I think about Unicycles, I think circus acts and "that kid" that seems to be in every town who can actually ride one. By ride one, I mean on the street, not in a technical manner. Mike and his good buddy Kenny Banks have proven this stereo type that I've got in my head wrong as they and their good filming friend Dan Poirier continue to release web edits of them riding really technically demanding features.

Inside is Mike and Dan's story along with web edits of the one wheelers in action,
