Free Tamarack Pass

2008-06-11T11:05:00.002-06:00

...but you got to work to get it. This Saturday, the 14, Tamarack is going to be having a trial work day and if you show up they will give you a free summer season pass. Word has it everyone will be meeting at 8:30am at the Operations Dome (tent) and heading out from there.

So it snowed a bunch yesterday. I had about 4 inches on my deck in Bear Basin, Brundage showed about 7, Tamarack got a few. With summer offically starting in ten days let hope we have a change in the weather. One nice thing to think about is how tacky the trails are going to be.

Since I want a free pass and I am sure you do too, we'll see ya all on Saturday!

2008-06-04T11:05:00.005-06:00

With all this crappy weather we have been building and building bikes getting ready for when the season is in full swing. We have tons of bikes from Specialized for you to choose from at great prices. Many different mountain, road and kids models in stock now!! Our Nirve crusiers are here with 10 different styles to choose from.

This weeks bike special is a 2008 Specialized Stumpjumper Comp. The Best Gets Better. With an all-new chassis design that is lighter, more efficient, features a lower stand-over height and the same incredible handling, the completely redesigned Stumpjumper FSR continues to be best bike for the trails most of us ride, most of the time.
The completely redesigned Stumjumper FSR chassis features an ultra-refined and focused design, one that's been completely integrated with critical suspension components. The top-tube of the new Stumpjumper FSR sweeps down to ensure maximum standover height and boost overall rigidity.

We are selling this bike in-store for $2100, marked down from $2400.

Looks like the sun just came out for a bit before more storms move in, going for a quick road ride...

Tamarack Trail Update

2008-06-01T13:05:00.003-06:00

Summer is Here! With all the recent rain and warmer temps, the snow has been melting away allowing for some of the trails to open up. After making a run up to the resort today, most of the lower trails are open with a few puddles here and there. The Jump park looked good with a few streams running through it from all the run-off. Firebird and surrounding trails were still pretty wet and needed some more "dry time." The challenge park is open with no snow and dry obstacles.

Its looking like there wont be much of a trail crew, maybe one or two guys, which means some volunteer hours to get the trails up and running are in order. A few of us here at the shop are going to be going out regularly to get the jump park up and running. Once more snow melts up high and the rain begins to subside, we will be making rounds on the trails to make sure there aren't any hazards and try to buff them out as much as possible.

Tamarack is planning on opening up full summer operations with trail lifts running starting June 20th and will be running Wednesday thru Sunday from 10am-4pm. We are super anxious for the biking season to be in full swing and look forward to seeing you out on the trails!!

World Champion Skier Bode Miller Breaks American World Cup Wins Record in Kitzbuehel

28 Victories Gives Bode the Title After Two Decades

January 20, 2008-- Bode Miller, four-time World Champion Alpine Skier, won his 28th World Cup race today in Kitzbuehel, Austria giving him the all-time American World Cup wins record. The record, previously held by Phil Mahre, set in 1984, has been in Bode’s sights since the beginning of the current 2007-2008 race season.

As a double Olympic medalist, four-time World Champion and four-time World Cup titlist, Miller has earned an extraordinary amount of achievements throughout his career. In 2005, he became the first American in 22 years to win the overall alpine skiing World Cup title. In November 2004, he became only the fifth man to win World Cup races in all five disciplines: slalom, giant slalom, Super-G, downhill, and combined. However the American World Cup wins record is a historic achievement from any skier.

“Setting this record has been on my mind the last couple seasons as I accumulated more and more wins,” says Miller. “I accept this accomplishment with gratitude and look forward to future accomplishments as a ski racer and with my new independent race team, Team America.”

Team America, which was formed earlier this year by Miller, consists of himself, head coach John McBride, assistant coaches Forest Carey and Mike Kenney (all three former US Ski Team coaches), team manager Jennifer Holden, technicians Robi Kristan and Heinz Hammerle, agents Lowell Taub of CAA Sports, Ken Sowles and driver/chef Jake Serino.

Fall Riding

2007-10-08T19:46:00.000-06:00

This last weekend a few of us headed up to the mountian for one of the last weekends of biking at Tamarack Resort. It had been raining and snowing all week but Saturday morning the sun came out and made for a great day of riding.

Dusten preparing for the first run.

Here is a video of Tyler rocking Stage Fright. The trail crew recently changed up the route Stage Fright normally took making riders come of the rock shelf that you can see half way through the vid. The landing off this shelf requires riders to take an immediate left making it challenging a causing some riders to go down.

Tamarack Dirty Jump Jam

2007-08-28T11:13:00.001-06:00

On August 17th, Tamarack hosted their 1st annual Dirty Jump Jam. It was an evening of twists, flips, music and food. For an event that was thrown together at the last minute and only gave competitors two weeks notice, it was awesome! The turnout was huge and the schwag give away was insane!

The comp was set up in a jam format where the riders had about 45 minutes to throw the best tricks they could. The platform above made for some impressive stunts as a few riders threw 360's, no handers, and X up's.

Further down the course riders were seen doing tailwhips, 360's, back flips, supermans, and whatever else they could come up with. A last minute BMX competitor was using the wall ride in ways the local park builders hadn't thought of.

A rider entering the jumps during the practice runs.

Kalen was all sorts of pumped for the comp.

Art dropping in.
Art throwing a 360. Art's 360's were out of hand that evening. He also went on to win the Idaho State DH series on Sunday.

While the practice runs were taking place in the park, there was also the Payette Lakes Downhill series taking place right at the same time. It was a two run format and had a huge turnout! Above are spectators checking out the action as racers came down the Firebird Trail.

A Scott pro rider coming to the finish. The Tamarack trail crew cleaned up with the top three spots going to them. Congrats to Charlie Olsen for taking this stage race!

Thanks to everyone that came out and particapited in this event! Thanks to Spectrum Techwear, Bell Helmets, Smith Optics, Blackburn Pumps, Transition Bikes and Tamarack Resort in getting this event up and running! See everyone next year!

What's Happening at Transition Bikes

2007-08-27T13:04:00.000-06:00

Riding season is in full swing right now and Transition Bikes is crazy busy riding and bringing you new products. Here is the latest.

New Siren Prototype
TBC is now riding the new girls freeride bike called the Siren. The bike is a 6" travel freeride frame designed for women. They took input from over 30 female riders to design a bike specifically for them. The frame has ultra low standover. They had girls that are 5'0" and still have great standover on the frame and love it.

Tamarack DH Championships

2007-08-20T16:35:00.001-06:00

Here are some pictures of the Knobby Tire downhill state championships this last weekend at Tamarack.

Here's tamarack trailcrew member Pat doing the big drop in the race. Believe it or not, he rolled into this from a dead stop about 5 feet from the lip.

This is Scott Bikes pro rider Silas cleaning stage fright with style. He got 3rd place that day.
Pro Peak's newest employee, Tyler, rounding one of the sharp corners in Hibernater.
Pro Peak rider, Nick, poaching a line down the chute in Hibernater after being turned down for an expired NORBA card. Pro Peak rider Skye in a post stage fright stomping stupor. He had the air knocked out of him, his already injured knee bashed, and his shoe tossed a good thirty feet downhill.
Notice the serious amount of dust shoveled onto his face by his helmet.
Tyler and Charley from trail crew riding up for their second run.

Darren Lightfield going for a jog down stage fright.

Pro Peak rider Art coming out of the berm after the stage fright drop.
Art got second that day and won the entire series in points.

Just got back from a quick weekend in Jackson Hole. Hit up the trails in Jackson, Jimmy's Mom, etc and Fischer Creek outside of Stanley on the way home. Camera broke right after I took the above picture so didnt get any riding pics. Drove 1100 miles in four days...that sort of sucked...

Fire

2007-08-07T14:37:00.000-06:00

Just a couple of pics looking east of the store at the Sandy Fire. The smoke in the valley has been hit and miss lately. Today was a great day and the temp was just right.

These are some pictures looking into the valley from Paddy Flats road. A few of us went and road from the campground for a after work ride the other evening. Action shots to come.

Wake on the Lake

2007-08-02T09:19:00.001-06:00

Last weekend was wake on the lake at the Tamarack waterfront. Idaho Watersports, Tamarack and Pro Peak Sports all joined in giving the public the opportunity to get some wakeboard instruction and also demo the latest and greatest gear and boats. There was a huge turnout and was an awesome time. The Wakekite guys were here giving instruction and showing off their new product. People were having a blast trying out the Wakekite and were getting huge air. Some first timers were getting anywhere from 8-15 feet of air.

Ben, one of the Wakekite founders, showing off his moves.

A parting evening shot. Thanks for everyone that came out and participated in this great event.

Weekend in the Water

2007-07-30T17:09:00.000-06:00

This last weekend was tons of fun with water events happening all over the valley. This is just a quick pic of Greg ripping it up on Cascade Lake. Tons of pictures to come in the next few days about what went down at wake on the lake.

20 Mile Trail

2007-07-28T14:01:00.000-06:00

I have been wanting to get up and ride twenty mile all summre long and finally had a chance the other day. The smoke cleared out of the area for the most part and the weather was awesome. Word on the street is that the Forest Service has cut down some 450+ trees that were blocking the trail. Within a few weeks there was already another handful that lay across the trail when we rode. Above is a picture of a fallen log at the beginning of the trail.

Creek crossing on the way up.

Irene coming off bridge on the way back to the car. Didnt make it quite to Duck Lake due to our short time frame but enjoyed the ride none the less.

Irene attempting some log hop trials thing. It didnt work out to well as I had to go and pull her out from in between some logs. Lack of pictures due to the awesome riding. Friday morning also brought tacky trails to the area which made fo some great mid summer riding in the area.

Shop Shot

2007-07-28T13:48:00.000-06:00

New Bike Day

2007-07-25T09:33:00.000-06:00

It was a nice evening in McCall to go out and test out the new bike. We decided to go up to Bear Basin and go for a quick ride. The smoke had somewhat cleared out of the valley which made for some nice scenery.

Graham breaking in his new ride.

So fast So furious.

Got to love the McCall singletrack!

Its a plane, its a bird, no its Dewey!

A parting shot. Graham's new Transition Covert. Its ok to be jealous.... (P.S. Pro Peak Sports is a Transition dealer...)

After work the other evening we all decided to head out and go catch some rays. We loaded up the boats and headed out. The girls were up first to do some tubing.

Stokli and Osha were super stoked to be out. Both have become great wakeboarders but were taking the evening off and enjoying some relaxing tubing.

They were sure having fun!

After the tubing the big guns came out. Greg with a tail grab on his new Ronix "The One" board.

After a long day at the office it was time to get out and go for a cruise. Dewey and I headed out towards Secesh summit for an evening road ride to plug in some miles on the pavement.

It looks a lot faster then we were actually going. Like the sleeveless old World jersey that you bought when you were ten, Dewey....ha!

An artsy shot. Well, got sort of bored on the ride up.

Post ride energy drink. Enough said.

Pro Peak Bike Team Ride

2007-06-12T17:19:00.001-06:00

On Sunday was our first team day where everyone got together up at Tamarack to hit the trails. The weather was not on our side but that did not stop anyone from hitting the trails.

It was differently greasy in spots near the top, but once you were near the bottom it was awesome! Above is a pic of the three new tables near the bottom.

Dusten and Art through the new tables.

It was a little foggy at the top. Fog + Rain + Mud + 40 degress = Kickass!

Dusten coming down Rockstar. The new team outfits are sick!

Art soaring off the lower wallride.

Dewey on same wall ride.

Dusten was stoked to be out. With the rain came quiet, crowdless trails. It was great to get everyone out and riding together. Next weekend race at Deer Valley. Good Luck guys!
