Noah Bodman, The Death of the Technical Trail, Blister Gear Review

The Death of the Technical Trail

May 14, 2015May 14, 2015 by Jonathan Ellsworth
“Flow” is certainly in these days, and flow trails seem to be coming at the expense of more technical trails. But is that really true? And is this a good thing or a bad thing for the sport of mountain biking? We weigh in.

January 11, 2018March 12, 2015 by Jonathan Ellsworth
The Whitedot Redeemer sits between more playful, forward-mounted pow skis and more substantial, traditionally-shaped skis. The less you feel like choosing sides, the more interesting you’ll find the Redeemer.
