I was privileged enough to get to build a set of wooden rollers for the Claremore Lake Mountain Bike Trails. And I did it with help from Matt, Tate, and Riley from the Boy Scouts Troop 80.

Let's talk about a few ways to give back to your local trails that aren't just digging in the dirt.

Travis and I rode the Gold Dust Trail on Boreas Pass in Como, Colorado. This was a beautiful trail that was an insane amount of fun. One thing of note is the flume half way through the trail: this is a mile or two section that is nearly dead level. It was built to transfer water when there were mining operations here. Amazing.

o, I've been working on this video for a while. I wanted an MTB Kicker Ramp for that would be easy to break down for storage and had some adjustability to it. After many hours researching and throwing away designs I came up with this ramp.

Please note: this is more or less just a prototype, there are many things that I could fine-tune, make more efficient, or change altogether. Some things don't become apparent until you actually build them and then by that time it's too late. So, the downloadable plans will not be an exact representation of the ramp in this video and will include some of my last minute adjustments and additions, such as the area to store the leg spreader when not in use.

Two years ago I build my first Manual Machine. Then I built another, then I practiced doing manuals on grass, and I practiced "looping out". But that was the last that you all had heard on my progress. However, during that time I have received all sorts of questions, tips, and comments. In this video, I will take some time to answer them!

It seems silly to have to say out loud, but I needed a bike desk. I've been using the virtual ride software Zwift with my indoor bike trainer and I needed a way to place my computer close enough to see and use without spending a lot of money. So I thought I would build one and show you all how I did it.

While being stuck at home allows for me to practice things that I rarely even try, I would still rather be in the mountains or on a wooded trail. Luckily for this channel, Matt sent me some footage of the new Little Sugar Mountain Bike Trail in Belle Vista, Arkansas.

I have some scraps left over from some other projects, so I'm going to build a skinny for mountain bikes, but along the way I want to talk about some tips for building better kickers, ramps, and other trail features.

Let's be clear, I am not a pro mechanic. I've worked a garage when I was in high school, but I am not a real deal mechanic. What I am is interested in becoming better at any craft I pursue. So while upgrading my Star Ratchet on my DT Swiss hubs I thought that I would talk a little about points that I've learned in my life that had a profound impact on my progression in many different fields or endeavors.

Yeah, that's right. I've already cracked my brand new Yeti SB-140 mountain bike. I crashed into a tree and took a direct hit on the down tube. I'm lucky that this bike is so well built, I think most other carbon frames would have smashed to pieces. In this video I will detail the crash, what went wrong, what I could have done better, and how I got it fixed.

Earlier this year, Matt and I rode Wolf Den Loop and the Downhill Trails of the Monument Trails System at Hobbs State Park. Well, we've returned to clean up what we didn't catch before: The beautiful Karst Loop. It's at the back end of the trail system and it skirts the shoreline of Beaver Lake in northwest Arkansas.

Follow me through the semi-custom build of my new Yeti SB140 mountain bike. Riding a Yeti has been a dream of mine ever since I saw my first SB5 and through working two jobs and the awesome people at my favorite local bike shop, Phat Tire Bike Shop, if finally happened.

There is mountain biking in this video. There is Angel Fire Bike Park in this video. But all the riding, filming, trips, and episodes wouldn't be possible without my friends and family that help me on a daily basis make this little channel what it is.

Travis and Alex got out to the new Slaughter Pen DH (that stands for Downhill, kids!) mountain bike trail in Bentonville. This trail has the new Soil Tac surface to help control erosion and makes for a very fast trail. Lets be friends!

Trestle Bike Park in Winter Park, Colorado is full of jumps and drops and really thrilling trails. But it's also a perfect place to learn how to ride downhill for the whole family. But, I've found that some people don't know that, so I want to talk about it and show the other side of the mountain...so to speak.

North Table Mountain in Golden, Colorado is a beautiful ride that starts out with a lot of climbing.Formidable to say the least, but when you have a guide like Sprocket Girl and her crew, the hills quickly fade into the distance. Subscribe to her channel and tell her I sent you!

Last week, okay, a couple weeks ago, I stuffed the down tube of this bike with an air filter from a furnace in an effort to quiet the rattles clatter. Did it work? Hell, yay. In a big way.

Last time on Lunch Ride I installed a Fox Factory Transfer dropper post to help quiet down the ride. Well, I isolated another cause of clatter: the cables running through the down tube. While they do have a little bit of foam around the housing, they are still making enough noise for me to think there could be improvement.

I did a top five list of my favorite channels about mountain biking last year. I wanted to update that list but I also wanted to add a little something to it. Check it out. Add to the list!

I've always used a hydration backpack. But I thought it might be time to try something new. So, I picked up the Osprey Seral Lumbar Hydration Pack. Let's face it, its a fanny pack. I never thought I would like it... but maybe it I've changed my mind....
