The five races that make up the Arkansas Enduro Series were held at 5 unique locations this year.

Well, here we are in May of 2020, also known as Bike Month. Traditionally, we’ve celebrated with numerous social gatherings, group rides and even a large Square to Square event. No one could’ve predicted that this year, we’d have to juggle celebrating bikes and our beloved cycling community while dealing with the realities of a worldwide pandemic. Like so very many, we’ve gained a newfound love and appreciation for…(click to read more)

Day 1 of the Eureka Springs Enduro - part of the Enduro World Series

The summer is heating up and it’s not just because of that dank Arkansas humidity. The Arkansas Enduro Series is in full swing and we were at the first race of the season, capturing content. First up on the blog is a short video recap of the race. Enjoy.

Happy Friday everyone!

It’s been a crazy busy week for both Jared and I as we’ve been on-location and apart most of the week for work. But we met up at the bike shop yesterday to pick up a few things and I got my first look at the new Bike Arkansas Magazine issue. Coincidentally, I also came across this awesome video clip that Jared shot while we were in the woods the day of the shoot so I thought I’d share both here on the blog. The weather’s supposed to be nice this weekend, get out and enjoy it!

Coming up in the next issue of Bike Arkansas Magazine: Ellen Brune shows off her beautiful Thesis Gravel Bike and some other items in her kit, Jason Zehner flexes his calf muscles in the studio and Bike Bentonville’s Aimee Ross shreds some of the wonderful trails right outside her office at Slaughter Pen.

Cheers!

The stoke was gnar and the shred was high and the sendys were amped with more stoke and gnar and everyone was braaaaaaaap’n wet but excited to be watching the Red Bull Pumptrack World Championships at the new Runway Bike Park in Springdale, Arkansas. Here’s a few photos from the event. Enjoy.

Congratulations to Shelby King, who is getting ready to graduate college and spend a few months in the beautiful country of Ireland. And yes, she's taking that pretty orange bike along for the adventure. So of course it was only fitting that the bike be in her graduation portraits as well. Here's a few of my favorites. Happy Friday!

A heartfelt thank you to all of my friends and clients who made 2017 such a memorable year. This blog post contains some of my favorite commercial and lifestyle images from 2017. I couldn't pick just a few favorites, so there's a lot. Send me your medical bills for injuries related to excessive scrolling and Have a Happy New Year. 

I recently had the opportunity to work on the new cycling jersey design for FAST Kids. And last night, I was able to meet up with them and grab some photos of them rocking their new jerseys during their weekly ride. Thanks for letting me join in the fun!

Anyone who hasn't been living under a large amount of Arkansas bedrock over the last few years will tell you that the sport of mountain biking is literally taking off in our little corner of the state. And in case you've ever been riding the trails and wondered to yourself...
