Anyone who rolls on 26’s and is worth the contents of their skanky old Camelback bladder must have heard of Whistler Bike Park and wishes to make the pilgrimage. 2007-09-17T10:37:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/features/whistler-diaries http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/features/down-and-out-on-a-hardtail-pt8 I knew I was going to have a bad day the moment I woke up. You just kinda know these things don’t you? You get a kind of feeling, and the kind of feeling I got as I woke up that Friday morning was one of wetness. 2007-09-14T07:49:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/features/down-and-out-on-a-hardtail-pt8 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/features/world-record-long-jump Can you even begin to imagine what it must be like to be towed along behind a motorbike at 82mph, aiming directly at a twelve foot high take of ramp that is about to send you blindly into orbit? It’s not really a problem for Jason Rennie, because Jason is used to jumping massive distances on two wheels, he usually has an engine attached and has been known to clear 250 feet…read it and weep. 2007-03-28T10:00:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/features/world-record-long-jump http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/features/down-and-out-on-a-hardtail I have been living in my car for the last two months now, and it smells like a camel’s backside. I know this because a friend told me, and he used to work at Bristol Zoo. 2007-03-28T09:32:01+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/features/down-and-out-on-a-hardtail http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/features/design-classic-shimano-dx These days, platform pedals are taken for granted and are the bike world standard for flat pedal users. The simple reasons are that they are strong, grip your soles like nothing else and look good to boot. 2007-03-23T09:51:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/features/design-classic-shimano-dx http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/features/a-meeting-of-minds-addict-brooklyn-machine-works-sheone This is a story of a collaboration, a story of three people… a bike importer, a clothing label owner and an artist… Brooklyn Machine Works, Addict and a graffiti artist called SheOne. It came about like most things do, a conversation, an idea, a meeting of minds. 2007-03-23T09:20:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/features/a-meeting-of-minds-addict-brooklyn-machine-works-sheone http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/features/cutting-loose-spuds-vs-flats With more riders than ever opting to ride clipped–in with SPD shoes and pedals, Dirt asks whether riding flats really has had its day. 2007-03-22T15:13:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/features/cutting-loose-spuds-vs-flats http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/features/design-classic-dainese-body-armour Riding a downhill bike is hard enough but trying to race one at top speed over the toughest terrain the mountains can throw up is a completely different ball game. As bikes have improved courses have got tougher, riders have got faster and competition is tighter, so much so that the top dogs of DH hang it out more than ever before. 2007-03-22T14:12:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/features/design-classic-dainese-body-armour http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/features/dont-waste-your-talent-by-geoff-waugh Did your school report ever have comments like this: so and so (insert your name here) “could do better if he applied himself, will improve once he learns to concentrate, a more consistent effort is required”, or “needs to put in maximum effort all the time in order to reach the high standard he is capable of”. Gems, every one. From the only school report I ever managed to keep. 2007-03-22T09:55:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/features/dont-waste-your-talent-by-geoff-waugh http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/features/design-classic-mrp It’s often quoted that the simple designs are the best. This might sound kind of obvious but these ideas are always the hardest to think of. Back in the day, as those with a desire for all things fast wanted to hit the downhills without the hassle of pedalling up, so the use of a triple chainset became redundant... 2007-03-21T11:30:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/features/design-classic-mrp
