Big Daddy Dan Killingsworth has been working hard at stepping up his game in racing and riding over the past few seasons. Let's face it, progression is tough and the incremental improvements are sometimes tough to see from the inside. Today we talked Dan into riding in the snow in 20degree temps. Tough conditions to begin with, then with the fact that some tough-guys showed up we still talked Dan into a Lehigh-Sals-Lehigh loop.
Dale's this year was off the hook -- ri-gawd-damned-diculous. So much riding and progression went on there this season that it is mind boggling. Now the jumps are under snow and Dale is quietly dormant, resting and thinking of devious new lines to create.
Dale's place is pretty special, and it took him a ton of hours to create it. Trails are always primo in the Fall, and the clay's warmth really pops in this cool moody shot from Matt Delorme. He is a real deal photog, and it shows.
Woo -- this is a good one. Go to it, kiddies -- bonus points if you can make it funny w/o referencing poop. Winner is determined by you guys in this thread, and gets a cool new EWR bolt-on headbadge (could be used as a stylee X-mas tree ornament, too). Contest closes this Saturday night.
Freestyle on Mountainbikes is so 90s. One-footers are pretty much not gonna do it for you at the at Crankworx Slopestyle. Or maybe he was going for a backflip and yanked too hard...
New to the VMB website is Gary Grim. He is an oldschool mountain biker whom you may have seen as the only guy in existence who still uses ActionTec forks! Gary has been racing a long time, is a tough older Expert competitor and has the most absolutely brutal start in the pack. He can be seen holeshotting most M.A.S.S. races stringing out the pack into anaerobic hell (been there). He trains a lot at Sals and his screen name is Gaz.
Complete with Rapper Van Napper Dellavalle, TV Doug and Pappy at the top of the Ridge Trail.
Shortly thereafter a stick finished my ride early $$$$$$$ ! 
Hope you liked them. Worth a road trip.
