CURRENT BIKE(S): Intense Socom FRO (waiting for the new Transition Blindside), Transition Bottle Rocket, Transition Double, Transition Covert, Transition Vagrant (seems to be a theme here :)
ALL TIME FAVORITE TRAIL: Would definitely have to be the recently departed R-Line Trail. The reason that I liked R-Line so much was that I helped design and build it and could hop on my bike in the garage and be riding it within 5 minutes. Hard to beat that! A close second would be the legendary A-Line up at Whistler. It's a perennial favorite of so many riders because it has it all - lots of differently modulated jumps, big fast berms, drops, bridges and all linked together in a long smooth continuous flow.
CURRENT FAVORITE PRODUCT: The Dirt Corps Karakorum Tool designed and fabricated by the Kloster Brothers (fellow Dirt Corps founders). The Karakorum line is based on the classic Mcleod tool used for years by fire fighters and hard core trail builders. The new design is much beefier and comes in custom sizes so you can dial in the perfect measurements based on your body style.

Quotes
When I woke up this morning and went outside to unpack the rig I had a moment of realization that the race season is over and the season of build is now upon us. It was a good feeling of satisfaction and anticipation for the coming months of moving dirt, building structures and testing new lines.
Long live the Corps!
