pack whore
And who in the bike/ski/mountain/travel blogging field isn’t?! I’ve been (i won’t say struggling) getting by with less than optimal pack setups for adventuring and photography/video. I love being able to get photos and video on rides/hikes/ski days, but it isn’t always easy to find a place in a gear pack for a camera,... »

A close call for Japhy Rider…
Just a week ago J.R. did a big Tahoe Tour. On his way home he was hit from behind by a drunk driver on McCarran. He came out of it pretty damn well. And the team, with the addition of another new member, rolls on. Congrats, good luck, thank god, holy crap etc… -M Like Unlike »

Because it’s there…
I believe I read that he has no recollection of telling a reporter that he climbed Everest, “because it’s there,” but there it was, and there it still is. Never-the-less Sir. Ed is gone: WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Sir Edmund Hillary, the unassuming beekeeper who conquered Mount Everest to win renown as one of... »
The worst that could happen
I was thinking about that skiBASE jump I witnessed the other day and morbidly fascinating about plummeting to death at the bottom of the Silver Legacy. But that’s the worst case scenario there. Maybe the absolute worst is that you crash into a spectator and take him/her out too. That would be bad. Still... »
Urban skiBASE jumping in Reno, NV
You all wish you lived here… That’s right. I was not only there, but right there on the roof! Being behind a camera looking over the edge was almost like being the first wako to skiBASE of a building in a dense urban area. But not quite.
