Wilton Woods - Connecticut

A pretty short ultra technical trail in the town of Wilton, Connecticut. A perfect ride to boost up your skills. We were invited by the local Trailbuilder who knew every rock, root and stone!

Blue mountain trail - New York

Blue Mountain, at the state of New-York has some amazing trails. With a local pretty skilled rider we rode about 14 kilometers. It was a ride to remember with singletracks all the way covered with technical stuff: roots, rocks, rollers and drops !

K2 Razorback team 2003

Some more detailled pictures of the Razorback.
Rear suspension is a Mc Pherson  design with a custom Fox pull shock.
Frame weight is 2.4 kg including headset, seatclamp and BB. This is not bad for a 2003 frame!

Welcome

Welcome to this blog, not too much to see yet.

This blog is all about mountainbiking combined with photography ...

It all started with the 2003 K2 Razorback mountainbike. The bike that really learned me the definition of mountainbiking. After the K2, the Santa Cruz came in. I rode with a Chameleon and a heckler. After Santa Cruz, Nicolai entered the house and finally Morewood arrived from Africa for some dowhill action.
