Recently signing with suspension manufacturer X-Fusion Shox, Aptos' local Tyler McCaul continues to make a name for himself. Riding under GT Bicycles, Tyler McCaul, brother of Cam, has been putting in his time. Before injuring himself at Whistler Crankworx, Tyler was killing it, with some good racing results, and some good slopestyle results too. Whistler put a beating on Tyler, however, he's healed up and back up to speed.

Jacob Hyde aka Cob - Bike Check

Published Nov 24, 2009 at 10:44
No Dig, No Ride is a term taken seriously in the Aptos area. Simply put if you don't want to put in the time to build, don't bother coming to ride. Jacob Hyde's house is a perfect example of this term. Regardless of if you're showing up to ride, chill, film, or take photos you are expected to pickup a shovel when shovel time is present. This method assures that no riders are riding, when it is time to be digging, and vice versa. Everyone digs, regardless of stature, or riding skill.

Cob had a dialed back yard, and a dialed bike. Here's some information on his rig...

Cam McCaul Bike Check - Trek Ticket

Published Nov 17, 2009 at 12:40
Cam McCaul is one of the most premier riders of our sport today. He can kill it on the track, rip up the dirt jumps, and keep you laughing till you want to cry, while still busting out some of the most unique lines, and tricks. Recently on my trip to Aptos California I got a chance to check out Cam's new bike, however Cam didn't have too much spare time so I got him to do his bike check while he was riding to cut down on filming time.

Easton Havoc DH Wheels Review

Published Nov 2, 2009 at 16:13
28 spokes of strength.

"World Class DH wheels have to be bombproof, but nobody said they have to feel sluggish and unresponsive." Easton's mindset on the aggressive wheel market makes sense. Why not engineer something that is strong, light, responsive, and not garbage? With that, Easton took it into their own hands, and came up with the Havoc DH wheels. 28 spokes of excitement make these wheels light, while some very smart technologies make them strong.

WTB Dissent 2.3 - A positive change.

Published Nov 2, 2009 at 16:11
WTB previously launched their Dissent tire as "the official tire of Whistler Mountain Bike Park", and boy did it work good on that "A-Line" style of terrain. The Dissent 2.5 was very predictable on dry dirt, but it was a disaster when it touched wet. The Dissent 2.5 was designed with a small channel, which ejects packed up dirt in your tire and so forth, which caused it to pack up in wet conditions.

This season WTB took the Dissent one step further with the Dissent 2.3. They made the profile slightly thinner, and made the channel slightly larger, and in turn created a wicked tire for the opposite side of the scale as its bigger brother, the soft/wet side!

Ham and Steeze Jump Jam Day - Practice

Published Oct 24, 2009 at 0:39
The dirt jumping scene in Aptos California, and more specifically Santa Cruz County as a whole is blowing up. Big name riders like Tyler and Cam McCaul, Greg Watts, Alex Reveles, Jamie Goldman, and many more call this cozy California location home, and the local jumps are some of the best I have seen in my travels. I got invited down to do a film trip for the Ham and Steeze Jump Jam, so after minor thought I packed by bags and hit the skies.

Yeti 303R-DH - Review

Published Oct 18, 2009 at 21:46
In the 303R-DH preview we gave you all of the information and facts about the 303R-DH, however we left you hanging when it came to information on how it rides. Looks and technology only come into play so much when you're looking into purchasing a bike, and most riders will find themselves asking other riders what they think of this bike or that bike. In order to skip you having to talk to your best friend's, sister's, boyfriend's dad who has an old Yeti, I am going to tell you exactly what my impressions of the Yeti 303R-DH were.
