I’ve heard of Bulls bikes from seeing them on Youtube but realistically I don’t know much about the company or what they offer. I’ve seen them at Sea Otter and for whatever reason never went up to talk to them. However, this year was different. Much to my surprise when I stopped by the person I was chatting with was also a fan of the show. So today, both you and I will learn about who Bulls Bikes is and what their goal is with the bikes they are producing. ►Featured Links https://bit.ly/42PzTTg ...

The channel has been gaining traction with its honest regular guy perspective and Jared’s storytelling. His editing skills definitely hold your attention as well as kee...

I bumped into this young man at Sea Otter and to be honest I would have just walked right by him because I don't ride dirt jumpers. However, one of my friends saw his bike and unlike me was very intrigued because he knew it was different. As I was listening to his story about how he fabricated this bike on his own and that he's only 16 yrs old I knew this was going to be a great episode. ►Featured Links https://bit.ly/42FxGrZ ::: TBD Bikes Instagram https://bit.ly/d2rebike ::: Disconnect to Reco...

I met Brad Waldron the engineer who started Kali Protectives shortly after I started the B1KER channel. It was his passion for safety and his down to earth personality that was my first look into realizing that a lot of bike brands we all assume are huge companies, are really a family run business or a small group of people trying their best to make great products. Kali may not be the biggest name in rider safety, however they have a full lineup of top notch gear with a free crash replacement pl...

I started riding mountain bike back in the 90's and when hydration packs hit the market the only brand everyone talked about was Camelbak. Even today, that name is still what some people call their bags despite them being from another company. For the most part all bags have been the same type of design until USWE hit the market. They have a different way of securing the bag to your body that keeps the pack from bouncing all over, and after trying one I was an instant believer and fan. Let's tal...
