New Ski Dreaming: How to Choose the Right Ski

It’s Saturday morning in December, I wake up to cold drops lightly landing on my cheek. Snowflakes are floating in through the cracked window. I pop up and get the visual; fresh snow piled on the windowsill. My heart skips a beat and I wake up Adam. We fill our coffee mugs, toss the ski […]

WHERE THE OCEAN MEETS THE MOUNTAINS – A SHORT STORY

Winter is slowly creeping from the mountain peaks into the valley this morning at the hub. It smells like freshly brewed coffee. I’m sitting at the kitchen table, looking out into the mountains. Once again I start daydreaming about mountain biking but this time I start to think back to a time I lived by […]

OVERLANDING 101

TROPHY TRUCK DREAMING

Happy Monday Friends, While it rains outside this morning and we wait patiently for snow, I can’t help but day dream about converting my Gen 4, 2003 4-Runner into a sand jumping trophy truck. The vision of myself launching over the dunes or ripping through the desert at 40 mph, sand spraying in my hair […]

GOOD MORNING

Positive motivation this morning jumping into the new year. The world right now is changing. How do we accept these changes and use this time as an opportunity to start questioning the details of the world around us. Is public transit the solution to ongoing suburban sprawl? Is an electric truck practical for overlanding and […]
