Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season. 2006 is going to be an exciting mountain bike season. Team Santa Cruz is going to be decked out with new faces, Steve Pete and Jamie Goldman, and going to dominate the DH race scene. Freeriding is going to taper off as mountain bike technology is starting to reach its limits and “technical” tricks and obstacles are going to be what is in style instead of the “I have 12 inches of rear wheel travel and can huck anything” mentality. The prime rib needs help out of the oven…Happy Holidays!
