July AM

Back on the single crown, and shreddin' the AM trails. Love every bit of it. Its all about tech riding for me these last few months, so my cardio suffered a bit, as I havent been doing those long 3 hours riding sessions, where stops where few and far between. I do however believe that I got the best out of it, as I feel that I stand stronger than ever tech wise, very rewarding and motivating btw. Best part? Im having so much fun.

Choice, its all about choice:

This bike is growing on me every time I ride it hard, its such a crazy tool for aggressive riding. Btw the Monarch RT3 is working really well with the ONE for AM, efficient climbing, supportive mid/end stroke for the hits.

I recently got my hands on some FOX Launch Pro Knee Pads. I have been on 661 Kyle Strait for several years now, and I know alot of you guys out there are using them as well, but seeing all the positive feedback on the FOX Launch Pro Knee Pads, made me want to try them out. Sofar its been very positive, these pads stay in place! Im thinking about doing a comparison; Kyle Strait Pads vs Launch Pro Knee Pad. I pulled up my shorts a bit in this pic so that you can see the entire pad.

    I've heard they run small. Can't find them in 2.5 (which would be closer to 2.3-ish). I may go with the Chunders you reviewed a while back since they are so similar. Thanks! Again, very entertaining stuff.

    Yearh, Chunders are great and have a big volume. If weight is a concern, then look into the Michelin WildRock'R.

    Hi there, well I wont draw any conclusion just yet, but from what been experiencing, then this (FOX Launch Pro Knee Pads) is indeed a superior knee pad. Stay tuned for the head to head comparison.
