Doing Hard Time Dec '02
I may have been baptized a hardtail rider but I soon realized my big bike sins couldn't be washed away in a heartbeat. I kept trying to convince myself that doing time on the hardtail would improve my skills so I would pull it out like a hair shirt and do my penance.

Oh Canada! Feb '02
So why are those Canadian bikes so heavy anyway? And why don't they have a big ring…after all, aren't they full suspension bikes? They should be able to be pedaled fast, right?..

Ridiculator My Eye Jan '02
It had to be Digger's (Todd Fiander) films that first grabbed my attention and really freaked me out. Watching mountain bike riders catch huge air over the dried up creek beds and drops on the North Shore trails and launch off various buildings in and around Vancouver seemed totally extreme...

Bike Thieves Jan '02
You spend five months fine-tuning something until you can detect if someone's moved your seat a millimeter or two. That bike has become a sort of prosthetic limb that carries you down that gnarliest trails with the utmost confidence... And then it's gone.

Don't Slag My Ride! Jan '02
I still race around on a junky vehicle, my bike. It's not quite a K-mart blue-light special, but I can't count the number of snickers and skeptical glances I've gotten at trailheads from other riders.

Christmas in Vancouver Dec '01
Since I arrived here almost a year ago, I've heard the local media complaining about how boring the town is, and how little there is to do here. Considering how accessible nature and outdoor recreation is for Vancouverites, I find it laughable when I hear people here complaining about the fireworks being cancelled...

BMX and Mountainbiking Dec '01
After exploring the mountain bike scene fairly closely for the next few months, I noticed that there was an element to the sport missing, come to think of it, a few actually. Here and there I saw some images of people riding the streets on their bikes, but not the way one would expect from a sport which must be nearly as old as the sport of BMX and skateboarding...

Man's Best Friend Dec '01
Have you ever had one of those riding buddies who's still a little new to the sport, but is so eager to try stuff that he'll just bound ahead without knowing any better? As soon as I start collecting my riding gear, his absent tail starts to vibrate uncontrollably as he bolts toward the door. If I even motion toward my riding gear or move my bike, he snaps up, floppy ears at attention...

Zen and the Art of Urban Assault Nov '01
Another night is upon me. The moon, full and bright, lightens the darkest shadows of the city. The time is right for that mysterious and wondrous two-wheeled adventure known as Urban Assault...

Dear ProHo,
I'd like to eventually become a ProHo but I'd like to get some practice first with the amateurs. Do you have any good tips or advice for someone who's just getting started? - AmateurHo

The "North Shore": The Next Big Thing In The UK Oct '01
The UK is not known for extreme riding, mainly because we do not have the elevation that other countries have. Times are changing though. Recently, in Mountain Biking UK Magazine, an article covered the first "North Shore" trail, which was built by a group of us...

Grease Monkeys. Shop Rats. Wrenches. Oct '01
Call them what you will, your local bike mechanic is your last means of defense against the bike you know and love revolting and spitting you out on your favourite trail. Most shops, just due to the inherent economics of the bike industry, can't afford to pay their staff much over minimum wage.

First Love Oct '01
Everyone remembers their first love with a touch of fondness. Its innocence and newness can cause even the most cynical to get just a little misty...

Wade wins the Red Bull Rampage! Oct '01
The mountain bike community eagerly awaited an event that combined the technical advances in the sport of mountain biking and the skill of free riding. Finally, with the help of Global Event Management, Josh Bender, and Bike Zion, Red Bull provided the perfect opportunity for this contingency of 22 free riders.

Harvest Huckfest at - Whistler Bike Park goes OFF! Oct '01
The 2001 season closed last week with Harvest Huckfest and the biggest day on record. Everyone showed up featuring jump demos with John Cowan, Richie Schley and Gareth Dyer. Wade Simmons taught himself how to perform no-handers. How about 13 year old Ian Moult jumping with the big boys. It was awesome!

Isn't Shuttling the only kind of riding that ISN'T free? Aug '01
Watching all those professional masochists surge forward with every pedal stroke scaling a steep grade faster than most people descend made me realize that somewhere along the way, mountain biking has started to lose its work ethic...

Why can't I do that? Aug '01
I seem to have this bad habit. It follows me to have it with every sport I participate in; rock climbing, adventure racing, snowboarding and of course mountain biking. I unconsciously compare myself to the best in the sport. I meet these guys and gals that are amazing at what they do and I ask myself "Why can't I do that?"

Richard Rants Again - Is more stunts always a good thing? Aug '01
While the modern Shore trail builders have introduced teeter-totters, ladder bridges and other artificial trail accessories, which have been embraced by freeriders everywhere, these stunts seem to be popping up all over because anyone with a hammer and a saw thinks he or she can build them.

World Cup - Whistler Aug '01
Former Pro Snowboarder and multi talented dude, Alex Warburton shot some fine digital images of the downhill and dual festivities at the Grouse World Cup. Here they are for your viewing pleasure.

Freeride Heaven July '01
I just came back from a week long trip through B.C. guiding the first North Shore Freeride tour. The first day started at the Canada Olympic Park (COP) where upon arrival we speculated what it would be like to launch one of the Olympic ski jumps.

A Slice of Heaven May '01
I was up at Whistler on Tuesday where I got to ride a slice of heaven known as the Whistler Bike Zone. It was a toasty bluebird day when I arrived. The line to the gondola was divided in 2 - bikes to the right, snowboarders/skiers to the left. There were only a few people there but I love the idea of being able to go snowboarding OR riding on the same day on the same mountain.

Cougars, Knobs and Heros May '01
We came to a left hand corner and Jeff let out a yell. I didn’t realize at first what he was on about but when I came to a stop a few metres further on and looked back I saw the Cougar, which was of course why he had yelled...

How Biking Ruined my Life May '01
Some weeks ago I was sitting having a pizza with my best friend Jason. Jason was a pro motocross rider for many years and has now joined the downhill mountain biking fold of which I have been a part for many years...

B&A Eulogy March '01
I remember the first time I discovered B&A trail on Eagle Ridge in Coquitlam. I had just cruised down Randys when I spied some new trail work. There was a log about 50 meters long that you rode that finishing off with a 1 meter wheelie drop. Wow stunts on Eagle Ridge, I was stoked.

The Shores Collide Feb '01
As I was driving up to the North Shore to check out the waves at Sunset and Pipeline I passed 2 guys on full DH rigs with BoXXXers. To say my interest was piqued would be an understatement and I made a note to myself to see if a free ride scene existed in Oahu.

More Views from a Couch - Dirt Feb '01
My mom always said that I liked dirt. As a kid I must have really liked dirt because I see all these pictures of me covered in it or eating it. Yes that is right I would take big gobs of the stuff and putting it into my mouth...

Achoo, the Daves and a couple of Hoodlums Feb '01
I felt a little bad for sticking the two together. The young hucker Curtis and the elder mountain man Achoo were trapped together inside a suburban for half an hour...

Thanksgiving Tip Nov 2000
It's a universal riding truth. If you want to improve, go bigger and get smoother go out with riders who are better than you. Sometimes though it's important to make yourself feel good about your current skillset.

Back on 'the Scene' Nov 2000
I recently returned to the shore mountain bike scene after a four year absence. I took a job in Indonesia in 96. When I left the definition of cool was substantially different than it is now. If you rode a Brodie or a Dekerf (all hand built in those days) with front suspension you were about as stylin' as you could get.

The New Mecca: Has Nelson surpassed the Shore? Nov 2000
Going back to the usual shore trails after my second Nelson trip was a bit like lunch bag letdown: I was hungry for my fix but when I got onto the shore trails it was the usual white bread with PB and J.

It was a Dark and Stormy Morning Nov 2000
It’s pitch black, pouring rain and my alarm clock must be wrong because the incessant ringing is telling me that I should be getting up now. But it is Sunday. Wait a second! Today I am doing my first trail building day.

The Prairie Boys Go To The Kootenays Oct 2000
...and there was a huge stump that was cut at an angle so that you could launch off it?we were on the right track. That is when I noticed that in a small clearing below us?STUNT CITY! There were Teeter totters, ladders 10 feet in the air, and log rides all over the place...

Fracture on Fromme Oct 2000

An Eagle Mountain Epic Sept 2000

It's the Shore Baby Sept 2000
In the last year or so I have been talking to mountain bikers from other locales and I have discovered that virtually everybody has heard of the North Shore...

North Bay's North Shore Aug 2000

Why the Shore June 2000
I was a mountain biker before I started riding on the North Shore - or so I thought. There were no actual mountains involved for the most part...

What it's About June 2000
I'm no tough guy - I get misty watching the Simpson's - but I love riding the shore...
