A German Shepherd Mountain Biker

Alaz rules. He’s my German Shepherd Dog and he love the woods. We ride together about once every other week. He hammers single track. Stays right by my rear wheel. And on command, he will haul ass down the trail ahead of me.

If you’ve ever ridden with a dog ahead of you like this, you know the feeling is massive.

Spent the past weekend in Moab, UTwith my boy Jonny Lang (no, not the musician). I flew into Denver, CO where Jon lives. I landed after four hours. We ate dinner, I put my bike together out of the crate I flew it in, and we were off for the six hour drive to Moab two hours after I landed. We got to Moab at three am, checked in to the Best Western, and passed out. We were up bright and early to ride the next day.

Hung out in the dirt jump park at the Bootleg Canyon trails in Boulder City, Nevada during dirt demo at Interbike 2009. Shot some pics of my boy Gary and met a cool cat named Dave Diamond from Kentucky. And Dave could get some air I tell ya. He was hitting some pretty big double sets and was a good 30 feet in the air at times. Below are the best photos out of what I got. Thanks for letting me grab the shots, Dave. Enjoy everyone.

Where to begin. The whole Interbike 2009 experience was incredible. I could never put it into words that do it justice. The best I can do is be brief, and show you as many photos as possible.

It all starts with the two demo days prior to the exhibit. For those that don’t know, you can literally visit / talk with any manufacturer and ride ANY bike they have in the 2010 line. And you can choose from riding that bike on shuttled DH trails or on really flowy XC trails. There are also pretty sick dirt jumps (lots) and a skills area. I’ll be posting images from the dirt jumps as well as reviews on the bikes I rode. I posted a whole bunch of photos from the show itself here.
