Are Pit Vipers, Crocs and skiing in jeans with an Ikon Pass dope or derp, what (if any) magazines do you still subscribe to in print, are ebikes really more “green” than traditional bikes and are Amish people really starting to purchase ebikes? Trail Whisperer reminisces on the early days of mountain biking in Colorado, the Fat Tire Journal TV show and Big Head Todd while Pow Bot talks about his new Sprinter van acquisition and skiing the White Ribbon of Death at Mount Rose.
