It’s a good time to be a mountain biker in BC. In just about every community across the province trails are being developed and enhanced, providing seemingly endless options for all levels of riders. Many are developed by enthusiastic local trail builders with the best of intentions, be it to push the limits of rider ability or simply provide more quality choices for the after work or weekend rip.
However, many of our trails are not “legitimate”…and the province has taken notice. Driven by a need to …

Here’s an interview with a long time Pinkbike member, and an amazing action sports photographer, Joshua Weber. Josh is currently located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada where he is completing his fourth year of electrical engineering.
We’ve been friends for a while and I got to sit down and ask him some questions, enjoy the words and pics.

We’re back at the Forest of Dean again and what a turnout, 250 riders and glorious sunshine. After weeks of freezing temperatures, snow and rain it felt like Benidorm. Crowd control in place and for the first time ever here in the U.K, we had 10 year olds on track in the “Rippers” category!

Devinci is proud to announce their partnership with Canadian’s National DH Champion Andrew Mitchell for the 2009 season. The 21 year old ripper from Victoria BC will be racing all over the world on his new rig.

I also have some still images of the shoots and thought a quick interview with the riders would give you an idea of what they are like behind the lens and goggles…

I have been shooting videos for a while, I got bored with 3 minute videos that never lead anywhere and showed no progression. So I had the idea, why not make my own Webisodes?
I know a lot of good riders from my area, and I wanted to showcase that talent in video form. So I got out my old camera and got shooting!

What better a start to the year than some good ole fashioned Black Run downhill racing at Aston Hill. The Black run remains one of the most challenging downhill tracks in the South East, with its combination of tight switchbacks, roots, drops and some newly added “flow”. Race support will be provided by Xtreme Medics and Mikrotime. All riders can gain BC points (category C race). “The response has been very positive and riders are taking advantage of the reduced pre-entry application which can be downloaded which we believe …

We all know it’s all about Troy Lee, he’s got style. Something he inherited from his Dad Larry Lee from the pics I’ve seen. He’s now teamed up with Leatt, the “Helmet for your neck” people and what a collaboration this is. These are so shiny that Puff Daddy and Paris Hilton are already on the waiting list for one.
