EB Riding Tip:

Brake setup: How many fingers do you brake with? These days, with the technology of disc brakes, we are able to have much more control of our brakes with much less effort.
Try moving your brake levers towards the center of the bike, so that you can comfortably squeeze the brake lever with one finger (index). This will give you all the power you need, much better control and it will improve your handlebar grip too!

BC Bike Race Update: Final Stage (7)

Posted: July 5, 2008

Well, the BCBR is officially over and everyone at EB is ecstatic that the event is complete. Now it is time to heal the wounds and relax some muscles for a few days.

Team EB had a strong event and successfully completed the 7 day stage race, which will soon become known for being one of the toughest races in the world. The race was an epic adventure and was grueling all the way to the finish in Whistler.

Endless Biking's team finished in 1st place in the 4-person team category, that featured teams from Mexico, France, Canada and USA.

BC Bike Race Update: Day Six

Posted: July 3, 2008

Day 6 was an unbelievable day for many reasons. There were fierce clouds, overnight thundershowers and the fear of wet, technical trails was setting in with the fatigued rider field. They day was filled with a tremendous amount of single-track, easily living up to the hype. Riders came across the line, ecstatic from the thrills or shattered from the punishing route.

Andreas Hestler threw down the hammer right off the bat and made the pack to work to keep him and his partner in sight, Max Plaxton. Dre and Max broke away with such intensity off the start, that they were never seen again during the race until showing up at the finish line, just after the volunteers and MC! No riders imagined a pace like this was possible, until now.

Now the fun/hard part, Stage 7. Can it be finished? It's been a long tough trail but you can bet every last dollar that there isn't one team giving up now, with 6 days under wraps.

The finale, tomorrow...

BC Bike Race Update: Day Five

Posted: July 2, 2008

Day 5 is always a classic, the trails of the Sunshine Coast from Sechelt to Gibson's Landing are some of the most fun trails we've ever ridden. The feeling was mutual among the 400 or so riders still in the field, by far the funnest day yet. The grins were ear to ear!

EB had another strong day, finishing in 1st place again in the 4-person team category. THe giggles were a abundant, as riders were treated to a 13km descent to finish the stage, with shower trucks waiting for them at the ferry. How cool is that?

We're getting ready for an epic day of Squamish on Day 6 that will combine the best of the Test of Metal course and the Gearjammer, rain is in the forecast and the riders that are new to the area are gettign nervous..... and they should be. Look for Day 6 to really shake the field up.

BC Bike Race Update: Day Four

Posted: July 1, 2008

Day 4 begins early, 4:30am to be exact was the time that the rubber chicken into a megaphone came by the tents to wake everyone up. Although for very good reason as we had a two ferry crossings courtesy of BC Ferries, from Comox on Vancovuer Island to Powell River, then to Earl's Cove via the Saltery Bay ferry. Pristine BC coastline to say the least! Wow, well worth the wake-up call.... kind of.

The day was definitely rough on everyone's system but the singletrack on hand was enough to keep everyone excited. Finally, the true single-track experience that everyone was hoping for!

Team EB had a strong day, finishing 1st in the 4-person team category for the 2nd day in a row. All 4 riders are still going strong, in fact, building strength on the way. EB is currently in 1st place in the overall classification.

BC Bike Race Update: Day Three

Day 3 brings the fun factor way back up for the BCBR, as riders descend fresh new single-track, courtesy of Jeremy Grasby and the Riding Fool Hostel. Although, slightly shorter at 82km, the day still proved to be very challenging with the heat and with the freshly cut trail. Riders times are consistently ranging from 4hrs to 9hrs, with almost every single rider finishing each stage.


Riders were required to navigate waist deep creek crossings, twice while trying to save some energy for the beautiful trails of Cumberland Community Forest. Riders now prep for a private BC Ferries trip to Earl's Cove and Saltery Bay and an early 4:30am wake-up call.

BC Bike Race Update: Day Two

Posted: June 30, 2008

Day 2 of the BCBR showed no signs of mercy, once again. 125+km of grueling logging roads due to a high snow volumes that still remain from an epic winter. The leader board is starting to take shape and the fatigue for some, and conditioning for others is starting to set in.

Team EB had a strong day on Day 2, choosing to team up and work as a pack to get through the blistering heat and long road miles. From here, the riders get to start to sink their tires into the great single track that BC is known for.

Endless Biking currently sits in 3rd place in the 4 person team category in the overall classification. More updates daily...

BC Bike Race Update: Day One

Posted: June 29, 2008

The BC Bike Race is officially under way and team EB is off to a good start. Choosing to pace out the first 2-3 days could really pay off as riders are forced to deal with sweltering heat, dehydration plus the mechanical challenges of putting on such long mileage each day.

Day 1 included a story-book like day from returning champions, Chris Eatough and his partner as they had mechanical issues before even getting out of the initial staging area. With both riders bikes have deraileurs ripped off, they were forced to give the pack a solid 15 minute head-start and have to deal with passing 400 riders to make their way back to the top. Special thanks to James and Fraser of Obsession:Bikes, check out these life-saving photos.

With dozens of bewildered spectators at the finish, The returning champs had battled all the way through the field for a sprint finish for 3rd and 4th place. Wow!

Day 2, 125km of pure hell in the 30+ degree heat. Let's see how the field handles this...

EB now offering MTB Instructor Training!

Posted: May 19, 2008

Endless Biking is pleased to announce that we are now offering Instructor Training for Level 1 and Level 2 MTB Instructors. EB has been working hard to bring back an endorsed standard to the MTB industry after being left with a void in instructor training for the last few years.

EB is committed to mountain biking's continued growth and development, so working with some of the most experienced industry leaders, commercial operators and many professional Instructors and Guides have enabled us to assemble such a training program. EB's Instructor Training Program has been developed to provide Instructors and Guides with guidelines and recommendations suitable for the current landscape of Instructors & Guides in North America and around the world.

Endless Biking has long endorsed the CMIC (Canadian Mountain Bike Instructor Certification) program, along with the NCCP (National Coaching Certification Program) to train Instructors and Guides alike. However, the CMIC has been unavailable for over 3 years now and the NCCP has been long outdated as a coaching/competition-based program that was developed over 20 years ago.

Note: This is not a certificate program. However, Endless Biking's reputation as a service provider offering professional level services, will be recognized by employers in the MTB industry such as Whistler Bike Park, The Dirt Series and more. EB currently trains Instructors for several commercial operators, independent contractors and resorts. References will be available upon request.

Available on a custom basis through the summer of 2008. Level 1 & Level 2, available fall 2008.

EB Chickas: Race the Ranch

This weekend we headed up to Kamloops to participate in Race the Ranch. It was a great weekend, lots of sun, lots of riding and lots of great women racing together!

Here's a brief recap:

Kelsey flatted near the top of the course and ran her bike down (even through the wall ride) to get second place honors in her category!

Becky came in second in her category, very impressive for her first race ever!

I came in third in her category, not bad after a good crash on course!

We are lucky to have a great community of racers who are all really supportive. We were especially lucky to have Danika Schroeter on hand to help us with everything from pre-runs to pre-race jitters!

Check out photos from the weekend here!

Brockton Mini Trail Day at Loutet

Posted: May 17, 2008

Huge props to the junior mountain bikers from Brockton School in North Van. Those kids worked their buts off today buffing up the Loutet tables.

The kids reclaimed the fire pit, almost finished rebuilding the big berm, reshaped the lips/pumpers, dialed the drainage, picked up all the garbage (3 bags!), hauled out 2 shopping carts, added on-site garbage bags, trimmed all overhanging brush and removed all burnable wood from vicinity.... all in 2 hours!

The best part is these kids, they are so young and they worked so hard! Check out the photo of these groms, super keen to haul out 2 shopping carts at once!

Huge thanks to Dieter of the NSMBA, Danielle Baker and the riders of Brockton School.

7th Ripper. . . sort of. . .

Posted: April 24, 2008

When I saw the snow outside at 6am on Saturday morning I thought for sure that the Ripper would be canceled, but those NSMBA people are a tough bunch! The 7th Ripper was on and it turned out to be an amazing day, although the riders didn't get anywhere near 7th Secret!

Lots of riders braved the snowy conditions for the event and had an awesome time, Joan of Arc, a hospital patient and even some bunnies showed up for the event. The EB team was there as well; Darren volunteered, Kelli rode, I took photos and Sol made sure that everything else was taken care of!

I was lucky enough to get a lift in James' truck (Obsession Bikes) for the start of the race, which was a great place to shoot from as the pack of rippers followed us down Mountain Highway before heading to the Dempsey Braemar climb.

I managed to shoot from a few locations along the snowy course: photos!

For a full write-up of the event check out: Seventh Ripper Wrap!

Thank-you to all of the volunteers, ripper participants and the other photographers, it was definitely a Ripper to remember!

Vancouver Bike Expo: A SUCCESS!!

Posted: February 18, 2008

The Vancouver Bike Expo at the Outdoor Adventure Show this weekend was a great success. We had a fantastic weekend and were stoked that so many people came by our booth, both familiar faces and new ones.

We are especially thrilled that so many people came out to ride the pump track. A lot of hard work and long hours went in to making the pump track happen and we are so happy that everyone loved it. Not only did everyone get to rip it up on the track, but we also raised money for the NSMBA!

In addition to open track sessions we also ran some adult and youth clinics over the weekend. We got some great feedback from people who participated and with small group sizes there was a lot of one-on-one coaching.

Thank-you to everyone who made our weekend a great success including our sponsors, our volunteers, everyone that stopped by to say hi and sign up for our 2008 programs and all the riders!

Congratulations to EB's Eric Lawrenuk!

Congratulations to EB's Eric Lawrenuk, who competed in Mt. Washington's first annual Sleeman's Jump Jam and came out on top in the Expert class! Eric has been working hard to hone his jumping skills and he is definitely a rider to watch out for in the future.

Eric's smooth style, deep bag of tricks and technical ability set him aside from the other jumpers. Riders were forced to battle some wind, wet weather and even some wet jumps to put on a show. Eric and the rest of the jumpers did a great job putting some 'wow' into the crowd at Mt. Washington.

Scott Ransom review by Pedal Magazine

Posted: August 14, 2007

Want to know why EB coaches like their Scott Ransom's so much? Find out here, in this Pedal Magazine Bike Review.

There's no question six-inch-travel bikes are the fastest-growing trend in mountain bikes. Manufacturers are putting much of their research and development time into the all-mountain segment, and the result is one of the most competitive segments in the bike industry. The question is, with that much competition, how do you make your design stand out from the rest? Scott has clearly figured out the answer.

EB & Shimano at Crankworx

Posted: August 1, 2007

Crankworx was another great show this year, with thousands of people in attendance for Whistler's 9-day gravity inspired festival. There was riding for everyone: trails, bike park, dirt jumps, xc and epics.

EB was present at the Shimano booth all week working the crowds and educating them on some of Shimano's new 2008 products. All we can say, is wait until you see the new XT group, it's hot!

A big thanks to everyone from Shimano who joined us for some riding in the Bike Park. Another big thank you to everyone else who came by and those who we got to ride with!
