DIRTY ATHLETE

The Gary Fisher Wahoo is a pretty sweet bike and the first model you would use to bring out on the trails!

I have been sampling this bike out and loving how it handles.

Usually I’m riding specialized, but I decided to try out this Genesis Geometry everyone has been raving about!

You feel like your more in a racing position and you weight is over the back tire more making your feel more stable on downhills, its pretty great, I’m really lovin’ the position!

You can pick up one of these bikes for about 560.00 and even luck out on finding last years model around 450 out the door. This is a great fit for someone looking to not bust there budget and starting out on trail riding!

I think its worth the extra weight you would have to carry through a race in order to have a customizable bike tail light!

How nice would it be to tell the person drafting you to back off.

Keep the dirt clean, by thinking about the environment and the products your using for your recreational enjoyment.

EnviroMountain sports does just that by releasing a environmentally friendly wax. Whats the big deal you say its just a little wax your put on your board every once in awhile it can’t possibly be hurting the environment.

Well if you do the math it quite scary…..think of it like this the US has appx. 60million skiers per year, that is potentially 2.813 million POUNDS of toxic ski wax depositing there chemicals into our ground and water. Think of when the snow melts and it runs into are Mountain springs and into our water bottles we are pretty much drink our own ski wax!Switch you wax to EnviroMountain sports eco-friendly products. Remember Wax on Wax off!
