I just got back from a 5 day trip to Killington Bike Park with my son. I'm 43, certainly not old, but I'm not 20 anymore so it takes a little longer to recover despite being in pretty decent shape for my age. I started riding bike parks 3 years ago, and this year since I have my own FS, I went...

So I've heard a helmet is good for one crash then needs to be replaced. I have a full face TLD D3 Fiberlite and took a nice spill OTB on a 10ft jump at Mountain Creek Bike Park. Appears the impact and only damage is to the visor, so I'm just wondering if it's necessary to replace. Thx!

Most experienced cyclists know the best way to cross a railroad is at a 90 degree angle, but this advice doesn't always work . Take this railroad crossing in Knoxville, Tennessee for instance. Located next to a heavily trafficked road, crossing the track at a 90 would put you directly in the...

As mountain bikers, we tend to make fun of roadies. All they do is suffer and eat (at least that's the stereotype). But in a lot of ways, roadies are bad ass. Unlike soccer players who feign injuries at the slightest impact, pro road racers have fallen off bridges, hopped back on their bikes...

Ever wonder why bmx kids seem to fall out of the sky and walk away unharmed? It's because they've crashed many times before and have learned to control the situation. Us mountain bikers can learn a lot from them and improve our chances during a fall. Innocent tumbles can sometimes lead to very...

We posted a photo from this jump on our Facebook page a couple days ago, but didn't exactly know what happened. We now know total suckage happened, but we still don't know exactly how or why. Just a friendly reminder to check all your bolts and adjustments regularly and to take an extra-close...
