On Friday ideRide will be attending  the 2009 Mountain Bike summit. Most people agree, Whistler has done it right and now we can build, using their knowledge and experience, our own dream here on the east coast. 

Big shout out to Patrick at VMBA for making it happen.

Kingdom Trails Open!

Kingdom Trails will  open The Darling Hill trails on Friday, May 1.

You can get your membership for $50, up alittle from last year but still a bargain. Rip it up!  

Burke and Kingdom Trails move into bike season

There was a palpable sense of excitement in East Burke today. The last vestiges of winter have subsided and left us with mid summer temperatures and trail conditions.  The guys at East Burke Sports are back in bike mode with the ski stuff stashed and fearless leader John Worth back at the helm. Lead mechanic Orion could be found assisting cute girls with bike setup while Adam and the newest addition to the EBS team, Sam Miles assembled the new 09 Trek rental fleet. EBS offers a full line of rentals with plenty of sizes to choose from, at a reasonable rate. From basic hardtails to sweet full sussy xc, these bike are quality rides, meticulously maintained by professionals.

Whether you are a weekend warrior looking for a ride for the day, or an avid biker looking to upgrade your ride, EBS can hook you up with expert advice and the latest and greatest offerings from Sinister Bikes, Santa Cruz and Trek. 

 

 In anticipation of a busy season John is looking to add another mechanic to the roster. To apply, call him at 802 626 3215.

New video released featuring Kingdom Trails "Freeride Trail"

Local ripper and artist Mike Richardson made this film of Orion two years ago. It was originally part of a longer film that he entered in the higlands first annual film contest. His work got him a prize for "best crash".

Its official, spring is here! After hitting up some bone dry single track on Rastaman and the Desert at the Perry Hill trails in Waterbury we headed up to the Stowe Bike Park and found Ron &  Jason from iride bike shop, young local ripper dylan and a few other disciples of dirt. They were dialing 'em in and had a few sets running with plans for full operation in the next couple of weeks. These guys take their jumps seriously and the transitions looked steep and smooth, as usual.

Jason informed me that they will have a weekly "dig day"  anyone interested in helping can inquire at iride in Stowe. A ton of work goes into these jumps and they could use the help.
