Going On A Break

  This blog is usually updated daily, sure. But, we need to take a break till ski season arrives so we can have some awesome articles. We will be posting in this time period though, just fewer posts. Till when we post full fledged, be sure to check out the articles we have till now!!!

Wear Your Body Armour

  Be sure to always be wearing your body armour!!! Body armour is really important because it helps in keeping you safe in crashes. So, always be wearing your body armour when biking!!!

About Gcn279's YouTube Channel

  Be sure to vist Gcn279's YouTube channel!!! The channel is awesome, and everybody should visit it. Gcn279 will be publishing a video about this blog soon, so check out how he'll present this blog to everybody!!! Here is a link to his channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/gcn279.

Havin' Fun???

  Are you having fun? You should!!! In many places it's cold now, so use this time to tune up your bike for next year!!! Or just do regular tuning! You could do tuning so your bike stays in shape all winter long!!! That would be called maintenance, though.

Helmet Safety

  Helmet safety is very important. You con't want to crash and break your head!!! So, I like to wear full face helmets for all types of mountain biking.
  The following only applies to full face helmets.
  Use ASPM1952 rated helmets for optimal protection. For downhill riding, ASPM1952 standard helmets are mandatory. Also, if your helmet is qualified by Europe standards it's an awesome helmet because Europe standards are very high.
  The following only applies to half face helmets.
  Don't use BMX helmets. They're way too heavy and don't meet mountain biking standards. But, always remember that full face helmets are waaaaaaaaaaaay better than half face helmets. Don't use half face helmets unless absolutely required!!!

Fun In Skiing

  Skiing season is coming!!! Be sure to have fun when you're skiing because skiing, like mountain biking, is made to have fun in. Have fun!!!

The Attribution Widget Is Back

  In some previous posts, I talked about the Attribution widget being removed. But, now the widget is back!!! Photo credits are located in the widget as well as copyright info.

Flowing With The Ground

  Sometimes, keeping in flow with the ground makes for a really good photo. What do I mean? Lining the bike so that the bike is totally sideways looking very similar to the ground. The bike should be in a position in which, if landed, would look like a part of the ground. Also, when the photographer takes the photo so that only half of the bike shows over the ground, his image looks spectacular. In Bike Mag's October 2011 edition, in the BUZZ section, a really awesome picture was shown of riding really in flow with the ground.

Liking The New Theme

  Does everybody like the new theme? Probably not. But, after everybody is accustomed to the new look of this blog, I think people will start liking the awesome new theme. Of course, if you still don't like the new theme, be sure to post a comment on this post to inform any of us that you don't like the theme. I really like the theme, though, and I will want at least more than 20 dislikes to change it. I like the new theme!!! The best thing about it? The backgrounds dark, so the white page contrasts real good! I told you that I really like the new theme! The only flaw was that some un-wanted credits. So, I just deleted the Attribution widget at the bottom of the page.

Some Mountain Biking Photos

  Here are some awesome pictures from the Red Bull Rampage. They're not the best but they are pretty good. They have been in previous posts. There are only 2 pictures but they are some of the best!!! Here are the pictures.

The New Theme

  We have a new theme!!! I hope that you enjoy it! It is also suited for the coming occasion of Halloween. Why's that? The new theme is related to Halloween because both involve black (or other dark colours) and orange. I personally think that the new theme is awesome!!! The Attribution widget at bottom of the blog has been removed. The blog still is mine and Gcn279's if you're wondering that a change of authors resulted in the change of theme. You can also comment on the new theme on the page of this post. If you want me or Gcn279 or both of us to change the theme, post a comment!!! Enjoy the new theme!!!

Having Fun

  Are you having fun mountain biking! I sure hope that you are, because, mountain biking is all about fun. Have fun everybody, have fun! How? Concentrate on riding and all your worries will fade away and you'll have a lot of fun! Remember though, if you're riding a trail too hard for you, you're probably not going to have fun because you're to busy trying not to crash. So these are the secrets to having fun in mountain biking: concentrate on riding and never ride a trail that is too hard for you. Have fun riding!!!

When I Post

  I usually post daily, but, I may post more or less frequently, depending on how busy I am. Because of my usual daily posting, there are a lot of posts, so, be sure to check out the Posts We Recommend action for top posts.

Crankworx: Some Of The Best Mountain Biking Ever

  Crankworx is a mountain biking festival held in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada. The event welcomes pros and amateurs making it a favourite among many. Although the main part of Crankworx is mountain biking, other entertainment sources are also available. The event has many sponsors, the main being Kokanee Beer. Kokanee sponsors Crankworx so heavily, the event is sometimes also known as Kokanee Crankworx. The events in 2009 at Crankworx were the following: Dual Slalom, Monster Energy Garbonzo Downhill, Quon Memorial X/C Race, Womenzworx, Air Downhill, VW Trick Showdown, GIANT Slalom, Kidsworx, Canadian Open Enduro, Trailsworx, Canadian Cheese Rolling Championships, Monster Energy Slopestyle, and the Canadian Open Downhill. Also, there is a new event at Crankworx called the Red Bull Joyride.
  Red Bull Joyride, in my opinion, is one of the best events at Crankworx. Why? I like slopestyle and I also like big airs. Guess whats the perfect match? Red Bull Joyride! It is a slopestyle event and it has a lot of big ramps to get a lot of huge air off. Here is a video of the Red Bull Joyride. Which year? 2011!!!

Mountain Biking Is All About Fun

Why Do You Mountain Bike

  I have a question for you: why do you mountain bike? I know why I do! I bike to have fun!!! Why do you bike, though, is something that I cannot answer. So, post a comment and share your thoughts on why you bike!!! Why am I asking you this question??? Hmm, let me think. I really don't know!!! I just want to know why you bike! The comment should be in the following format. Put your own, real information where I have put lines.

Hi, my name is _____________________

Whips

  Whips - they look good, they are fun and they don't require too much skill. In a whip, a rider leans his bike in midair until it is perpendicular to the ground, holds it there, and then pulls the bike to normal position for the landing. How do I whip? I imagine me doing it when I want to whip and then, as if by magic, I do a whip!!! If you are good at whipping like I am, (I don't mean to brag but...) you can probably make the bike lean a little further than completely sideways, a whip almost going upside down sideways. There is another way to whip too!!! You can get the side of the bike facing in the direction you are going. This is a whip in which you are 90 degrees rotated while in midair. Here is a photo of a really awesome whip. The whip is the type mentioned in the first method. The picture has been in previous posts.

  Here is a photo of a whip mentioned in the second method. This whip is also very good; awesome if you ask me!!! I am sure that you will like it. This picture has also been in previous posts.

Some Good Bike Companies And Bikes

  Here are some really good bike companies: Specialized, Trek, Mongoose, Intense Cycles, Transition Bikes and GT Bicycles. The companies mentioned are just some. Here are some really good bikes: Specialized Demo II, Trek Session 9.9, Mongoose Boot'r Expert, Intense Cycles SS2, Transition Bikes TR450 and GT Bicycles Fury. Here is a picture of the Specialized Demo II.

Time To Get Your Skis Sharpened

  Get your skis sharpened!!! Ski season is going to be coming very soon and you wouldn't want to miss the first few days just because your skis aren't sharpened. I had to miss the first couple of days (2 weeks) just because my skis weren't sharp, and believe me, that not fun. Get your skis sharpened early and buy whatever you need to not miss skiing!!!

Some Nice Images

  These are some very good pictures. The pictures may have been in previous posts. I think you will like the photos. There are 7 photos. I have chosen them after looking at a lot of pictures. Thee are some extremely good shots by some of the worlds best photographers. These photos are really good. I mean, I would definitely not have told you a lie. Okay, back on topic. These pictures are really good and thats what matters. I hope you you like the photos.

Wear Your Protective Gear

  Biking, mountain biking in particular, has a lot of injuries in it. Wear your armour!!! I wear kneepads, a long sleeve jersey, shorts and a neck brace. A neck brace is only required for extreme riding!!! I don't wear elbow pads because I feel that they restrict movement, but, you can wear them if you are not doing extreme manoeuvres. "-Wear your protection and go like hell-", said Travis Pastrana at X-Games 17, in which he crashed attempting a backflip 360. Travis is a dirt biker, just so you know. He is not a mountain biker. What Travis said is right, do anything, but, have the right protection on. Have fun riding safely!!! Below are pictures of Travis's crash; a crash that could have been way worse if he did not have protection. Good luck healing Travis!

Skiing

  As the new month arrives, we are getting closer to ski season. Have fun while skiing!!! On the blog, I will also be posting a little about skiing when ski season starts. Enjoy winter!!!

Fun In The New Month

  Just checking: is everybody having fun biking? You should; biking's all about the fun!!! While most bike parks are closed, you can ride in natural mountains that still don't have any snow. Have fun everybody!!!

The End Of An Old Month And The Start Of A New One

  The old month, which was Sept., has passed!!! This is the 2nd month of the blog in Oct. and I hope that you enjoy it. There are only 2 months left till the new year!!! Isn't that amazing? I hope that you enjoy this blog. When skiing season arrives, have fun skiing!!!
