MTBShreD - The Mountain Bike TrailHead

DH1, Downhill Mountain Bike Pro World Tour is a new race series catering to Pro and Amateur riders.  Freecaster is trying to have their own race calendar including  6 World Cup races at least for the 2012 season.  Other perks include 8X HD camera coverage live on Freecaster with Rob Warner; gap between top 20 riders will be enough to show all of each run.  DH1 needs your support and are trying to reach a goal of 100K Facelook likers, shredit and find out more.

Dozens of one-way, so-called flow trails allowing bikers to ride downhill at breakneck speeds have been built across the U.S. in recent years, with more in the works. Many of these trails are built on Western public lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. They are specially designed with jumps and berms to allow riders to flow unimpeded down the mountain without stopping, making the downhill-riding experience akin to skiing or sledding.

Support your local trails and show your appreciation for the sport of mountain biking and other outdoor activities.  Outdoor related license plates were approved by the Idaho Legislature in 2010 and are now available through the Idaho Department of Motor Vehicles.  The mountain bike plates raise money for mountain bike trails. The Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation plans to distribute the money through a grant program that has yet to be designed.

In 2002, Frenchman Eric Barone came close to death setting the mountain bike downhill-speed record on the side of a Nicaraguan volcano. Recently, Max Stöckl tried to break it. This is what happened.

Winter in Squamish is very wet, flooded, and usually has a snow line that sticks around for quite a while. This year we were lucky enough to have a dry cold winter.
