Flannel lining makes it more of a light jacket. My go-to here in the mild Salt Lake Weather!

The 951 had an incredible start last year and it continues to be a contender as the M9's little brother. We switched the rear drop-outs to a fixed system vs the adjustable G3 previously offered and added a new hydroformed downtube to increase strength and drop a few grams. Offering 8 or 8.5 inches of travel the 951 excels in all aspects DH. Bike park laps? No problem. Weekend DH race race? Why not? The 951 rides light and nimble but soaks up the big stuff with ease. The stiff chassis paired with 2nd generation VPP suspension design makes the 951 a superior gravity machine. Not to mention, hand welded right here in the *USA* Great deal offered here by Huck with the Fox 40. Spring is here, I've been riding my bike! Are you ready for this season?

The M9 is the latest creation from Jeff and the team at Intense Cycles. Hand welded in Temecula, CA , the M9 is beautiful piece of welded art with a ride that matches it's looks. Tested for over 16 months before production on the World Cup race circuit by riders like Kovarik and the rest of the CRC Intense Team. The M9 features the ultimate adjustability to fine tune for every type of course/condition possible. Cane Creek Angleset headset included to dial in the HT angle plus adjustable travel from 8, 8.5, 9 inches and 3 different leverage positions! It's a suspension/bike tuning dream. Steep and loose? Slack the HA and set it at 9! Tight w/ lots of pedaling? Steepen the HA, shorten the travel and make it super progressive! Not to mention adjusting the HT angle is a breeze with the Intense allen head system. Just loosen, remove, reinsert desired cups and you're good to go!

The M9 is low and slack to start and craves speed to really perform. This is no weekend warrior style bike! It's burly and built for the toughest of terrain. Just rated the most confidence inspiring and best ride of BIKE magazine's new Bible issue. Need I say more? Jeff and Intense have been building quality DH bikes for years and they've taken all they've learned and packed it into this machine.

New Glove for DaKine this year. Waterproof, Durafuse Leather and some sick styling with the metal hits. I rode them all last season here in Utah with no problems. Leather held up, I was warm and the cuff length is perfect to slip under a jacket. Buy em!

Love these shirts, I started with the curacao stripe and now own all 3! They don't wrinkle!!! I wear it out to dinner, or as a layering piece for a full day shred session. DRYRIDE is legit, breathes super well and is comfortable against your skin. Buy this shirt, I'm 6'1 and the fit is PERFECT!!!

I've got about 6 days this season on the Malavitas. So far, couldn't be happier. I don't like super soft bindings and wanted something I could ride all over the mtn on any given day. Malavita's are killing it so far. Enough flex tp press and butter, but enough support to lay down some turns on ultra hard pack (UT hasn't had a ton of snow yet). Buckles seems bomber and I'm pumped to be riding this binding for the rest of the season. Plus, the EST channel gives riders the ability to fine tune angles and widths and have the most responsive binding/board interface ever created.

One thing I hate on Pow days is the infamous cold drip of melted snow down the ol back of the pants. Seems to happen on about 50% of my tumbles in the deep stuff. NOT with the skids!!!!!

I hate full bibs as they feel restrictive and add an extra layer on your core (the area of your body that stays the warmest) The skids are sweet because it's more of a 3/4 bib with a loose fit, less material and doesn't feel restrictive at all.

Super tough as well. I rode for 2 seasons at Stowe in Vermont with the same pair with out a problem. If you haven't ridden Stowe, think tight sharp trees everywhere.

Skids are my go-to pant for those days when it's going to be deep. AND, if it gets sunny, I just take the bib straps off my shoulders and go for straps exposed look!!!

Love this jacket and so does Jake! It's literally his favorite in the line. Sleeping bag like liner makes you feel warm and cozy on the coldest days. My girlfriend loves the jacket so much she literally wears mine around the house!!! Killer fit, I'm 6'1 and rock a large, not too huge but a baggy loose fit. Insulated music pocket works perfect and the jacket will not only insulate but keep you DRY as it's gore!!!!! I have the black jacquard color but really dig the sorcerer as well! If you're the rider who needs to shred warm all day, but not look like the Michelin man while doing it!!! Oh yeah, did I mention the lifetime warranty?

I've been running Burton C02 bindings for 3 years now on my All MTN. set-ups. Currently have them mounted on a Burton 159 Joystick Wide for all mtn and pow days. Super responsive, and comfy enough to rock all day. Adjustments on this thing are off the hook! Holy Fine Tuning. The ICS channel system lets you pinpoint your width and angles plus change them in a twist of two screws while your buddies are still loosening their 4th screw. Living hinge gives you even more tune options for forward lean and the B3 Heel Gel is so sick for those airs w/ not so pretty landings. Pair these with some Shaun White or Grail Boots from Burton and you've got a set up designed in Unison under one roof!!!!!!!

I've been wearing the Red-Phones paired in a Mutiny II Helmet this year and so far they are killer!!! Adjustable volume on the cord and crafty clip to secure inside your jacket. Easy to take in and out from the helmet liner for travel tunes and the headset's comfy enough to rock all day at the office, house or travels. The REDPHONES pair with multiple RED helmets and were designed in unison so make sure to pair them up accordingly and rock out at your hill of choice!!!!

I've been wearing Realms now for 3 years now and still rotate 2 pair in the goggle quiver. The thing I like most about the Realm is fit with the RED helmet line. I've worn the Tantrum, Mutiny and now Mutiny II from RED and each helmet works amazing when paired with the Realm shape. No gaps, no fogging, TONS Of Lens options. I have the yellow for flat light and storm days and clear for night riding at Brighton. Check out the Scratcher Frame option above!!!!

Rocking the Mutiny II this year with REDPHONES and it's a killer set-up. Fit has really been improved in the RED line and the new REDPHONES sound super sick! Plus, it's easy to pop em out and throw into the headphone set for your international shred or non-shred travels. Super steezy with the micro brim and denim outlayer and vents well so far when doing some small hikes. Check out some Anon goggles to go with it, both designed and built in the same building!!! I'm rocking the new Anon Hawkeye and Realm Idiom.

I had the chance to ride the Method last January at the Snow Basin MSI Demo and it's INSANE!!!!! I got it first thing in the morning and decided to pair it with the Burton C02 ICS Bindings in medium. It had been warm the day before and I wanted to see how this ultralight construction would hold up at full speed on wide open semi frozen groomers. The Method blew me away. Never hesitated when pushed full throttle and the board was so light and active that I had no trouble popping full speed 180's into locked turns. I like Twin flex for it's predictability and the Method never dissapointed. Tail butter presses to light-speed groomer runs, the METHOD RULES. If you have the means, try or buy this board!!!!!!

Not a ton to say here, holds air, is heavy, does not flat etc. Great tube but be prepared for the weight penalty.... Who cares, your riding DH!!!!!

Nice tires, a little surprised with the size of the 2.4 as Maxxis is never true to size, much larger profile than Minions I have run in the past. After getting my pressure right these tires rip! Ultra bite in the corners and fast on the straight aways. More spacing between the knobs lead me to believe these would perform in Mud as well. Planning on going tubeless eventually. Another killer tire from Maxxis.

Nice Jersey, breathes well, tough and a killer match to the gold on my Glory 8. Buy it and go shred...

Love em! Killer sandal, best support in the industry and quality construction to boot! Toe thong strap is a bit abrasive at first but are fine now that my feet are used to them. Stop buying your annual sandals and buy these!!!! Sizing is very true.
