Springtime in Saint Paul

Last weekend Tony and I braved streets full of hockey fans and giant pickup trucks endlessly circling the Excel center looking for a place to park their trailers containing custom motorcycles as we hit downtown Saint Paul for a spring street session.

Intense Cycles’ New Website

Intense Cycles’ new website up. It looks great but I’m not crazy about 100% flash sites. I am crazy about the new Intense SlopeStyle though.

The greatest name for a magazine ever. Meatpaper.

Campus Wallride

I got peer-pressured into ducking out of work early for a street session at the University of Minnesota campus with Tony and Buck. I got a chance to take the Riot out for the first time. While I still suck at street riding, I really liked the bike and I can’t wait to try it out on some dirt jumps.

A friend sent me this pic of the new hayes 4-pot brake caliper. I don’t know anything about it, but I like the looks of it.

Midwest Freeride Community

I was recently approached to help build a website for a new advocacy group that is just getting off the ground. The group is “Midwest Freeride Community” and it was conceived by Adam Buck and Tony Benusa. With these two guys on the job I think it will be a banner year for freeride and gravity events in Minnesota and the Midwest.

I’m Published

kyahner — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 23:00:00 +0000

I’ve been reading BIKE magazine since the second issue. The two things that first attracted me to the magazine were Mike Ferrentino’s column and the photos; which were a huge step above any other mountain bike publication at the time. So I am proud to say that a photo I took will be appearing in the latest issue in the “50 trails” article. My friend Pete, who happens to be one of the trail bosses for the Murphy Hanrehan trail, was interviewed for the article since Murphy was to be the trail featured for Minnesota. When they asked him if he had any photos of the trail, he showed them a few pictures that I and some others had posted on the MORC and MTBR messages boards. Shortly after that I received an email from a Bike photo editor asking if I was interested in submitting some photos for the article. I didn’t have very many images of the trail but I sent off what I had, not expecting that any of them would be used. So I was pleasantly surprised when Pete sent me an email a couple of weeks ago telling me that they had used my photo.

Here is the picture that appeared in the article

Artcrank

ARTCRANK is a poster party for bike people. It’s going off on April 5th at One on One Bikes. I didn’t make it last year but it sounded like a good time and I’m hoping to attend this year.

The website and trailer for Seasons, the new film from The Collective is online. The website looks good; the trailer looks awesome. While Cam McCaul is a great and entertaining rider to watch, I think watching him practice tricks in the pool will be about as interesting as watching someone jump into a foam pit, which is to say, not much, but I can’t wait to watch Thomas Vanderham’s segment. Long live big mountain riding!
