This week I had the pleasure of meeting one of my favorite athletes, the one and only @jaxsonriddle!
His style on and off the bike are second to none. He’s also not afraid to speak up about mental health and how important it is to talk to someone when you need a little extra support. We only talked for a few minutes but meeting he and his partner @taylan_hansen was one of the highlights of my year. He even gave me one of his Rampage jerseys to take home for my son. Thank you both!
And thank you to @tld_moto for the opportunity. taken in The Palm Springs Surf Club by @rootsmtbjay

2025…wow, feels like it’s been a long one.
Tonight we say goodbye to a year filled with bikes, bike travels, bike clinics, and a whole lot of bike love. ❤️

We worked with clients from all over the Midwest again this year. We certified a dozen new instructors, and we also began working with some Elite junior XC and Enduro teams including the @south_side_xc and the @psycle_syndicate_

Thank you to all our people for sticking with us, getting outside your comfort zones, and trusting us to help you reach your riding goals.

We’re planning to hit 2026 at full gas. Stay tuned for a special announcement on New Years Day!

Happy New Year everyone!

A truly epic lobster bake with my family in Maine today. I’m so grateful I got to share this tradition with my dad and my son this year.

This process involves seaweed, water, and fire. The lobsters and clams are layered in amongst the seaweed and covered with a canvas tarp. The water in the seaweed steams the food and creates a smokey flavor that is unforgettable.
If I could only figure out how to get some Maine seaweed to Missouri…
