Winter is slow and boring

My schedule is now work, exercise, sleep with some video games thrown in. At least i have a few bike things on my mind.... Vital and PB have been doing a great job keeping content flowing PLUS i bought a new lid for the season. I snagged a TLD Love/Hate carbon lid for a great deal on BikeBling of course i just found an even better deal here. Oh well, missed out on a savings of $20.00. Regardless i got to use their HOLIDAY10 coupon code and it'll arrive tomorrow.

I was thinking about getting the beta blue or the SuperStar Red/Blue TLD D2 helmet but everyone has one now and every time i had either added to my cart.. i just couldn't pull the trigger.

you won't see a lot of love/hates anymore because they are being closed out and according to the TLD site the D2 Carbon = on a hiatus.. maybe permanently... i don't know. Anyway here is the lid that will be on my doorstep tomorrow. I think the name of this helmet is great because you either love it or hate it :)

Anyway other good MTB things to look forward to: 17 questions by Steve Peat will be out on Xmas Eve... be sure to check it on Vital. Life Cycles BluRay has supposedly been shipped by PB That should be in my mailbox soon and I'm going to start stockpiling parts of a new Rune Build.... stay tuned for that as i'm just about done putting together my preliminary build list. Will share when i'm done. Have a Merry Xmas and I hope everyone gets a lot of rad bike related gifts.

"I Ride for Nick's Eyes" No Pity Party, just rider's wanting to help out a fellow rider and all around good dude.

I don't know Nick but i like to think the mountain bike community (especially the gravity part of it) is pretty tight knit and we're always keen to help out a fellow rider. Well Nick's eyes aren't doing so hot and long story short... health insurance doesn't have his back and no one wants nick to go blind so Demon Dirt, Banshee and others are trying to help Nick foot the bill for his surgery. Simply by purchasing a shirt, stickers or jersey will help Nick out. So reach into your wallet, don't be a pussy and buy something. Go to their store here: DEMON DIRT STORE



Straight from Nick -

Looks like a rad trail and some solid riding.

Quick ride in Hood RIver, love Post Canyon.

PG kills it at Pacific.

Not a whole lot has to be said here, the polish legend w/ black links is sweet. Big props to PG, Robs says if you have a banshee, PG probably built it.

Life Cycles

I've watched this about 100 times and i pre-ordered my copy. I knew it would be better than Suspect... but this much better.. i couldn't have predicted.
