MTB Gratitude of the Week

Sage: MTB Community! After Sage busted the frame on his full suspension bike, he's been blown away by all the love! So many riders offering to lend him a bike, get him a discount or just offer words of encouragement.  Mountain bikers are awesome!  Thank you everyone!

Dan: Trailforks!  Dan utilizes and appreciates Trailforks' ability to create a mountain bike route.  Creating a route and then downloading that to your bike computer is amazing and opens up riding so many new places.  Thank you Trailforks & everyone who contributes! 

MTB Tip of the Week

How to rail 'flat turns' or turns that are not bermed. Drop the outside foot and let the bike move while keeping your body upright.  Bike/body separation for the win!
