The Last Of The Cool SheitApril 14, 2025That’s a wrap on Sea Otter Classic 2025. Monterey provided some solid weather, and our beloved cycling industry provided the good times and fun and exciting products for us to check out. Let’s dive in to the last of what we saw at the show. Bronson Moore of Be More Bikes, doing what he does. Out of the box thinking doesn’t result in products that will suit everyone, but we respect his adventurous nature.

Even More Cool SheitApril 13, 2025Even more cool products we saw from the cycling industry during day 3 of the 2025 Sea Otter Classic. Hard to pick out a favorite, from those sweet looking new Giro shoes to the crazy artwork on that Zink bike and everything in between. The sun was shining and there were plenty of smiles to keep us going as we cruised around the pits. Giro’s new Chamber III shoes are looking awesome.

More Cool SheitApril 12, 2025Day 2 of Sea Otter Classic 2025 was another good one, catching up with friends across the industry and seeing some of the hottest new bikes and gear. General feelings of optimism rose above yet more uncertainty, and everyone is stoked for their time on bikes in the upcoming northern hemisphere summer. Belts everywhere. Really feeling some momentum from the belt drive world this year. Interested to see how it keeps growing. New butt perches from WTB are looking neat.

Some Cool SheitApril 11, 2025That’s a wrap on day 1 of the 2025 Sea Otter Classic. Take a walk with us and check out some of the cool stuff we saw along the way. Endura had this custom MT500 full face sprayed up by Fresh Paints Whistler for us. We think it looks frickin’ sweet! One of our lucky members is going to win this lid – join us for a chance to get your hands on it. Fox Racing gave us a preview of the upcoming Rampage RS helmet. Also very very sweet looking.

Joining The Loam Wolf pack at the beginning of 2024 was huge for me. In 2024, I was able to ride more bikes, test more products, and go on more trips than ever before. Most of all, it meant being able to step away from teaching, and fully pursue a career in mountain bike storytelling. Looking back on 2024, there are some standouts from the year that I felt compelled to share.
