Take a ride down the NWCup cat 1 / Pro course with me. Keeping the commentary interesting while trying to stay upright and dodge pedestrians is harder than it looks 😂

Partnering with @racecascadia for the CDC Enduro series this year was a no brainer. Being at the North Slope rd 1 this weekend felt a lot like coming home, having been a part of the very first round table discussion to formulate this race series back in 2012’ish. We saw a lot of old friends, and met a lot of new ones. It is so heartwarming to see how the torch has been passed with Cam and his amazing team. The true sign of a thoughtfully prepared event is when the head honcho is cool as a cucumber smoothly orchestrating from the base area. We spent more time on the bike than in the vendor area. Trails were so prime it was hard to resist. Also quite fun to keep a timing chip in the pocket, a camera on the helmet, riding with mates, and the stress at bay. More of these to come!

1 week out from @racecascadia Rd 1 / North Slope Enduro! FlowCraft will be setup Friday and Saturday, will have tools on the ready, riding a bit, and may snag a timing chip for a lap or two 😯 Swing by the tent and say hi. Or maybe we’ll see you on the course. And if you want to talk about bike setup, or anything for that matter, come on down 🤘🏼 We’ve been involved with the CDC series since the very beginning, and went to the Cap Forest Classic for the first time about 20 years ago, but have never been to North Slope! See ya there 🤙🏼

We’re investing in our future at FlowCraft! An economical vehicle for local travels has been on the list, and when this little toaster popped up we couldn’t resist. If you see the HiJet around, pop in to say hello and let’s get you tuned up!

I’ve been long overdue for a few thanks to give out. I’ve been back at work recently, but my mind has been elsewhere. I’ve kept thinking about all the people that helped me have an amazing time in Chile a few weeks ago for my race. In no particular order… @larsnbars thank you. You and @flowcraftmtb helped me dial in my bike even better than I thought it could be. Funny thing is, even though I know bikes pretty well, I still appreciated help. I first hopped on my @iamspecialized Demo and it was so good I did the basics and just rode it. But Lars helped me optimize the suspension setup. Turns out a little bit more calm feeling is a good thing. @mt_rides , thanks for still being on this side of the dirt. Through everything you’ve been through, you still work hard and keep trying, and I deeply admire that. @felipebikeandgo you are the man. In the middle of putting on coaching camps, and racing XC, going fast and racing DH, being a husband and father, and talking to literally everyone, you still had us over and called me a payaso and gave my brakes the best bleed they ever had. Thank you. If my brakes ever need another bleed, I’m selling the bike. @hatcha_wentz thank you. You know, for packing snacks for me. And you too Back Fat, you know who you are. I don’t even know if you want to be tagged or not, so I’m leaving that out. Thanks for supporting the people that keep striving.

A lot of miles have been logged in between some great client sessions lately. Spring is here and trails are running fast! While optimizing bikes down to the smallest details is our specialty, we can help keep bikes operating in a pinch when tragedy occurs 😂. This derailleur got coerced back into alignment with a multitool & rock and a hard place. The only tube on this ride that got pinched is another story. Word is spreading and people are catching on to the magic we can make happen. If you feel like there’s more that your bike has to offer, give a shout and we can talk through the many ways we can help 🤙🏼#bikesetup #suspension #tuning #mtb
