The Stoke is F2’s long-standing performance freeride board that has performed well over several seasons. While carrying out this test it quickly became apparent that the 126 felt considerably bigger than the other boards on test and on measuring it we found its width to be 3cm wider than advertised. Although all the stickers and the serial number suggest that the board is a 126 it both measures and feels like a much bigger board and would actually appear to be the 136 shape stickered up wrongly.
Type: Large performance biased freeride.
On the water:
As explained above, this was an exceptionally large board by comparison to the others on test and as such it was no surprise that it felt very stable indeed but considerably heavier and less responsive than the majority of boards on test. Despite this it planed up quite early, particularly with big sails, but its acceleration up to speed was not the quickest. Everybody found it a very comfortable and easy board to sail offering excellent support. Unsurprisingly it didn’t feel very manoeuvrable but it did gybe very predictably. However, if really cranked into the gybe the tail cut-outs make it a bit more technical than other big boards of this type.
The F2 straps are excellent and the fin was sound if perhaps a shade small for a performance oriented freeride of this size. (Though it may well be the 126 fin with the 136 shape!) The riding position and strap positioning was all good. The hull weight was however relatively high for a performance freeride, even allowing for the extra size.
Treated as a 72cm 136L board it performs well, being a nice easy and stable hull that offers high stability and decent performance with sails up to about 9.0m. It does seem to lack that final edge of performance and excitement for its performance market placement but we would happily recommend it to heavy sailors looking for an inland blaster to use with sails between 6.5 and 9.0m or as a first shortboard for average to lighter weight sailors.

Trading stomach fat for a six-pack is more of a two-step process than just launching into a series of crunches, twists and other exercises that target the abs. Ab exercises can strengthen and tone the core, but there's no way of spot-reducing belly fat. Instead, you must reduce your total body fat through diet and exercise if you ever hope to see that toned tummy.
Reducing Body Fat
Eliminate excess calories from your diet by reducing portion sizes and opting for healthier foods. Because 1 pound of fat contains 3,500 calories, you can expect to lose 1 pound a week by reducing your caloric intake enough to reach a deficit of 500 calories a day. As you lose weight, you reduce body fat, which can help trim the waistline.
Video of the Day
Choose whole grains over refined ones. Products made from oatmeal, brown rice, barley, bulgar, wheat and other common whole grains might help you shed belly fat more effectively.
Drink water over other beverages. Water not only quenches your thirst, but also lacks calories. Drinking soda, juice, beer or other calorie-containing beverages can sabotage your weight-loss goals by increasing your caloric intake.
Increase your level of physical activity by getting some type of cardio exercise most days of the week. A good goal is at least 30 minutes of moderately intense cardio, such as swimming, biking, walking or dancing. You can also increase the intensity of your workout to burn more calories, helping to reach the caloric deficit needed to lose belly fat.
Incorporate strength training into your workout routine. Lifting free weights, using weight machines or even trying resistance bands can help add muscle to your frame. Muscle burns more calories than fat, so you're actually increasing the number of calories the body is using throughout the day. Like increasing your level of physical activity, this can help you reach that deficit in calories to shed stomach fat.
Schedule time in each workout for abdominal exercises. Double leg lifts will target your lower belly muscle, the transversus abdominis. Lie on the floor on your back. Place your hands, palms down, under your sacrum. Lift both legs at once to a 90 degree angle. Lower them slowly back down. Work your way up to 10 leg lifts over time.
Work some pelvic lifts into your ab routine. Lie on your back with your knees bent at a 45-degree angle. Rest your arms at your sides, then tighten your abdominals. From there, lift your hips and buttocks away from the floor. Hold for a breath or two, then return to your original position. Repeat.
Counter the lift with pelvic tilts. Lie on the floor with the knees bent at a 45-degree angle and arms to your sides. Draw your bellybutton toward your spine until your back is lying flat against the floor. At the same time, tilt your pelvis up. Hold this pose for at least two breaths and return to your original position. Repeat.
Try using a fitness ball to vary your abdominal workout. Take a seat on a fitness ball, placing your feet about hip width apart on the floor. Straighten your back and rest your hands on your chest, much like with crunches. Squeeze the abs and slowly lean back. Hold for a breath or two and return to your original position. Repeat.
Engage your sides by incorporating a torso twist into this routine. Though many variations exists, the standard version has you standing in an upright position with a small weight in your hands. Rotate your torso to the right, return to center, then rotate to the left. Repeat.
Foods containing trans-fats are more likely to cause fat gain in the midsection than other foods, so cut this fat from your diet.
Check with your health-care provider before beginning an exercise program for the first time or if you have been away from fitness programs for a while, or if you have any chronic health issues.

This bike is better than you. This bike tells you what it wants to do, and it’s up to you to hold on and come along for the ride. This bike is the rowdy young anarcho-punk who’s into all the coolest bands you’ve never heard of, and you’re the square old dude who’s losing their edge. The Rastro will knock you down, but it’s up to you to decide whether you’ll get back up again.
The Chumba Rastro 27Plus is a testament to the fact that the steel hardtail is still relevant and has a place in today’s crowded mountain bike marketplace, though that place is markedly different from the steel hardtails of yesteryear. Gone are the cumbersome, upright, and cheap bikes from the early days of mountain biking, replaced by raucous goons looking to turn every outing into a half-drunken party in the woods. If you’re looking for a bike that plays willing companion to all of your “don’t try this at home” antics, then the Rastro might be just the ticket.
Tried and True-Tempered
At the heart of the Rastro is an artfully-welded frame using steel tubing handpicked by Chumba for its toughness and ability to take the hits and keep on riding. My personal bike, a Singular Swift, is a steel hardtail as well, and I expected to have a somewhat familiar experience when I clambered aboard the comparatively stretched out Rastro. Though the components hanging from the frame were at least three times fancier than those on my personal bike, I anticipated the forgiving and compliant feel of steel would make for an easy transition. It turns out that my personal bike is just made of the metallic equivalent of overcooked spaghetti.
The Rastro puts a bit of an emphasis on the “hard” in hardtail — you will be keenly aware that you’re riding a burly bike after just a few turns of the cranks. During my first outing on the bike, I found myself almost obsessively checking tire pressures and fidgeting with the dials on the Fox 36 fork; there’s no way that anyone would make a mountain bike frame this stiff in 2017. Everyone knows that the kids are into fully-suspended cushy bikes these days! In spite of what’s been #trending in the mountain bike world, Chumba opted to make a true brute of a frame, and once I altered my perception just a bit, I learned to love the Rastro for what it is — an unapologetic affront to cycling society’s recent affinity for being coddled by their bikes.
However, as the song goes, love can knock you over, and there’s a level of respect that the Rastro demands. When you’re on your game, the bike will give you that extra push to help you clear that steep section that’s always scared you. If you find your focus wandering, though, be prepared to see yourself suddenly put into an “overshoot and recover” scenario; the surprisingly-rigid frame leads to a high, yet slim margin of error. It’s a bit of an oddball in this regard; the frame is incredibly capable, but it suffers no fools. Ask me and my newly fractured vertebrae how I know.
Hey! You! Outside Now!
Even though I got thoroughly thrashed on my first outing with the Rastro, I developed a bit of a Stockholm Syndrome-esque attraction to it. Thanks to a brief lack of focus during my introductory ride, I found myself flung headlong into a tree after the bike bucked off a signature patch of Pacific Northwest gnarled roots. Clearly, I survived the event (read my review of the POC Octal X that gave its life so I could provide Singletracks with more articles,) but I was definitely shaken–this was my first real crash in almost a decade of serious riding. Obviously I couldn’t be at fault, I’m almost a Cat 3 racer, after all! Could it be that the Rastro was giving me more a challenge than I could handle?
During my recovery period, with the crash replaying in my head, I would look at the Rastro in my gear room.
“This bike is better than me.” I would say. “I shouldn’t ride gnarly trails anymore. Mountain biking is dangerous.”
“But it was a pretty fun ride before the crash…”
“It did handle those rock drops pretty well… It is a pretty good-looking bike… I bet I could ride Predator on it if I paid attention…”
“I’m sorry that I’m a hack rider, Chumba Rastro 27Plus, I can’t stay mad at you!”
Even though I had deep-rooted trust issues, I felt compelled to try the Rastro again and see if I couldn’t get a good ride in.
By the Numbers
What was it that kept me from leaving well enough alone, bringing me back to go another round with the cycling equivalent of Mike Tyson? Was I suffering from concussion-fueled amnesia? Or was there something special about the Rastro and its fun-by-any-means-necessary approach to trail riding? Looking at the numbers will paint the picture that this bike is designed as a thoroughly modern take on the trail bike, offering the holy trifecta of the long, the low: 428mm reach (size large), 33mm bottom bracket drop, and 67º head tube angle. The rest of the geometry sheet confirms the Rastro’s propensity for steep and fast descents, with short chainstays keeping the rear end agile, but a longer wheelbase keeping things a bit more stable at high speeds.
And yet, there’s something decidedly old-school about this bike. A certain raucousness that you can’t describe using digits, Unless we’re discussing fingers. then the Rastro is a middle finger to those looking for a pleasant and subdued ride in the woods.
Honestly, I think it’s a bit refreshing to see a company produce a bike that isn’t afraid to dish out some real talk and slap you around a bit when you pick a crap line through the gnar. The best thing is, the Rastro seems to thrive on getting the same treatment back; just pitch the bike into hairy situations with some aplomb and you’ll look like a pro enduro bro. Once you become a bit more familiar with Chumba’s creation and start approaching things with a bit more confidence, it becomes clear that the initially unforgiving attitude of the bike is merely due to the fact that the performance ceiling is far above what one would expect of a hardtail. There’s an immediacy in everything the Rastro does, which demands that the rider keep their wits about them. Because of this, I decided to wait a bit while my concussion subsided before I went back out.
I’m In Trouble Again
Once I decided to give the Rastro another go, I decided that it would be in my best interest to pay a bit more attention and try to appreciate the nuances that defined the bike. Naturally, it made sense to look into what was hanging off of the lovely steel frame. The components list reads like a greatest hits list of the late 2010s, with Stan’s NoTubes Mk3 Flow wheels and 2.8 inches of Maxxis’ Rekon+ tires acting as liaison between ground and rider. Shimano’s XT M8000 groupset fulfills all shifting and braking requests, Fox’s 150mm Factory 36 fork and Transfer dropper post handle weight distribution, and RaceFace’s Aeffect line provides the all contact points between the rider and the bike.
The 4130 chromoly steel tubing is curved in all the right places to allow for up 3 inches of rubber wrapped around Boost-spaced wheels to fit both front and rear. Though my test bike was fitted with a 1 x 11 drivetrain, tinkerers can rejoice in the fact that the Paragon Machine Works rear dropouts allow for both geared and singlespeed setups. For those who are still fans of front derailleurs (I know there are a couple holdouts out there in internet-land) you can clamp one on and run a triple chainring. Weirdos.
The more time I spent in the saddle, the more I found myself trying to find a suitable category for the Rastro. Cross-country hardtail? No, its legs are too hairy. Wayward enduro bike? No, it doesn’t take itself that seriously. Dirt Jumper? No, it’s far too capable to be pigeon-holed into the bike park. For lack of a better category, it’s simply a mountain bike, a bike that can ride up and then down mountains while providing its rider with plenty of good times along the way. It doesn’t necessarily excel in any one area, but is a completely-willing partner for when things turn gnarly and you find yourself pedaling into the sketchier parts of your favorite trails. The trick is to never let go and stay focused on what lies ahead; just pick a line through the steep and unforgiving sections and trust that you’ll come out on the other side with all your constituent parts in the same place as you had them going in.
Chumba have designed an incredibly capable bike, but in doing so, have had to slough off any conciliations that larger manufacturers have to make in order to capture an increased market share. In pursuit of speed and, more importantly, fun, Chumba created a niche bike that not everyone will get. This bike is for mountain biking purists who long for the simpler times before multi-pivoted, carbon fiber-constructed, electrically-assisted, 7-inch fully-suspended wonder bikes, but are unwilling to ride any slower. If you have any inclination toward the way things used to be, this bike might just be your dream ride.
I’m With Stupid
Much to my doctor’s chagrin, I found myself clipped into the Rastro, sailing off of a 6-foot drop just weeks after I split my helmet. It felt right. As I returned to the ground, compressing through all 150 millimeters of the fork’s travel, my eyes pointed to an upcoming berm; I dropped a knee and ripped through the corner, the set of doubles and a 12-foot wall ride appearing ahead of me. Weighting, unweighting, weighting, unweighting, then swinging my body towards the ground to put centripetal force to work and stick the Rastro to the wall, my focus shifted to the last two tabletops of the run. Fingers off the brakes, I gave the pedals a few more turns and then welcomed that awkward yet freeing sensation of leaving the ground on a bicycle. After setting the rear wheel down, I reserved the next few milliseconds to focus sights on the last feature of the run. Before long, I was airborne, thinking, “This bike is really impressive. I hope I send it back in one piece.” The rear tire meets the ground and deforms, the frame rotates smoothly, the fork compresses through its travel, and I find myself both upright and unscathed in the landing zone. “Let’s do that again!” I say aloud.
The takeaway from Chumba’s Rastro 27Plus is this: it is an absolutely exhilarating ride, but you have to make sure you’re well aware of what you’re getting yourself into. These days, you’d be hard-pressed to find a bike that isn’t touted as a “quiver killer” or “one bike to rule them all.” The Rastro is not such a bike. The Rastro is the cycling equivalent of a whiskey-soaked slap to the face. It came to party, and either you’re onboard or you’re not; but if you agree to come along for the ride, you’d best pay attention or you’ll find yourself upside down and caked in dirt. The Rastro is the polar opposite of the Specialized Enduro-hey-let-me-pedal-that-for-you-don’t-worry-about-it-I’ll-post-this-to-Strava-for-you-too, Turbo 6-Fattie. In today’s cycling world, I welcome this with open arms and hope that more companies will follow suit.
Thanks to Chumba for lending us the Rastro 27Plus for review.

Fun fact: I’ve hidden 8 Chumbawamba references in this review — can you find them all?
Colorful review, and nicely done. Glad you’re OK.
Love seeing more hardtail content! This bike is very similar in build and color (oddly enough) to my Ritchey Timberwolf—also steel, also a party. The numbers on this look a little more on trend which I’m sure ups the fun factor, but the Timberwolf has been my only bike for the last two seasons and I’ve been loving it. Even after moving to Tahoe in late Spring it’s still proving to be super fun in the relentless chunk and steep that the local trails dish out. I’m wrestling with the decision to go full squish next season or just pimp out the Timby a little more and this article makes me want to keep it. The feedback and responsiveness is hard to match and the bikes I’ve demo’d (Jeffsy, Hightower LT, 5010) all feel a little sluggish to me. I definitely get some odd looks and a lot of “is that you’re ONLY bike” comments but man it’s fun! Glad you’re okay after the crash! Cheers.
By now, I’ve demoed a hundred bikes or more and written dozens of reviews and read thousands.
That was a great read! A marvelously personal, but beautifully descriptive tale of a boy and his (temporary) bike.
Makes me want one.
I LOVED my time on the Chumba Ursa (steel 29+ run fully rigid). A very different bike to be sure, but one which is also absolutely perfect for it’s non-quiver claiming niche.
Now I wan’t both. In fact, I doubt my quiver will be complete until I have them.
Thanks for the stoke!
Excellent written piece, one of the best I’ve read on Singletracks. Long live the steel hardtail!
I’m gonna go hug my Canfield Nimble 9 now…

the Echavarria brothers are true champions for the Babolat brand...
Tennis Plaza named Babolat Retailer of the Year for 2011 (PRWEB) September 28, 2011
In 2000, when Babolat approached Leon and Felipe Echavarria to support the brand in its entry into the U.S. Market, the owners of Tennis Plaza were immediately sold. “From the beginning we liked the business philosophy, the way Babolat charts its course and doesn’t follow other brands, the way the company takes its time to do things the right way, and of course the way retailers are protected through exclusivity and pricing policies,” says Leon Echavarria, co-owner of TennisPlaza. Today, thanks to its continued and outstanding support of the brand, TennisPlaza has been named the Babolat Retailer of the Year.
“Leon and Felipe believe in our brand and it shows in the way TennisPlaza presents the products and how the staff really encourages customers to try them,” says David Dwelle, southern regional sales manager for Babolat USA. “They carry the full breadth of the Babolat offering, from racquets and strings to bags and footwear, giving us great visibility—the Echavarria brothers are true champions for the Babolat brand.”
TennisPlaza, formerly known as Racquet World, is one of the largest, most reputable tennis stores in the country. Based in Miami, Florida for more than 21 years, Racquet World is known for its wide selection, competitive prices, knowledgeable personnel, and dedicated service. With three retail stores in Florida (Miami, Doral and Orlando) and an online store (TennisPlaza.com), Leon and Felipe Echavarria, and their team are committed to serving an ever-growing tennis market with bestselling Babolat gear like the AeroPro Drive GT, Pure Drive Gt, & AeroPro Lite Gt tennis rackets.

im new to the road cycling world, and i need help picking out a good bike, or a frame at least that wouldnt cost me the $1500 that i dont have. Im only 14, so funds are a bit of a problem.

|There are plenty of bikes out there in that price range that will suit your needs. Obviously, when choosing a bike you need to keep in mind the fact that you've still got some growing to do. Although plenty of good deals are available on the internet, you may be better off getting fit and buying at a good shop. If you post your general location with a request for information, you probably can get numerous recommendations for good shops from the people here. We've got posters from all over the States (and beyond). Welcome aboard and good luck with the search.|
|Plan on having to buy another bike in a year or two. . .||js5280|
Sep 27, 2001 9:36 AM
|At 14 you're probably going to be growing significantly for the next 4-6 years. Fit is very important on a road bike and with legs, arms, torso, changing more than a few inches, I doubt a single bike would fit you for very long. I would NOT spend a lot on a bike with this knowledge. I would let your riding (recreation, longer rides, vs. getting into competitive racing) determine how little your willing to spend. If this is just for fun, don't worry too much about the quality of the components unless you plan on transferring them to a new frame when you outgrow this one. Just make sure that your happy with the bike you purchase because that is a big motivating factor to keep riding. If your are serious about racing then it is probably worth going after good components and wheels because you can swap them to a new frame. Don't spend a ton on the frame, it's not going to last you long because of your growth. This may be hard to do because you're very unlikely to find a inexpensive frame with really nice components, they are usually comparable in quality and cost. The best advice, pick something that fits (maybe a little on the larger size to extend the useful life), something you can afford, and something you'll be happy to ride for the next year or so.
There's also choices to what type of bike depending on the terrain you want to ride. If you want to go off-pavement, look at cyclocross, or maybe even a light mountain bike which tend to be a little less expensive than a comparable road style bike. I'm sure others will have opinions and maybe more questions. Good to hear that your interested your interested in such a great sport.
|Did somebody say used?||MB1|
Sep 27, 2001 9:49 AM
|Great way to get started. You are likely to destroy your first road bike learning how to use and maintain it. There are some awful good deals out there if you ask around.
What matters is what you do with your bike, not what you paid for it.
Get one that fits fairly well-slightly too big will be better at your age if you can't find a perfect fit.
Good luck, I always wished that I had started younger.

|Your friends who have bikes should be a good resource for checking things out, as should your local bike shop. Visit several bike shops in your area to find out who you like, and ask a lot of questions. You have to figure out what type of bike to get based upon the riding you want to do, and what kind of riding your friends do. A mountain bike or hybrid is more flexible in that it will go on and off road, but maybe you want a road bike. If so, use wrench science to help get an understanding of a proper fit for you - their adds on this site will take you to their site which has a good fitting process. This information will help you understand the size of the bike you need now, although as others have said, you'll grow and things will change. The type of riding and bike you want will change bike fit issues as well. Ride bikes and figure it out.
So ask a bunch of questions, ride your friends' bikes if you can, and figure out what type of bike you want. Then look for a used bike for the best price. Your local paper, bike shops selling used bikes, another kid's second bike, and the internet (try Craig's List) all can help you find a bike for what you can afford.
After you ride for a while you will learn more about the kind of bike you really want and you can start planning how to get it. For now, ride and have fun.

|Get an old steel racing bike for a couple of hundred dollars; get it overhauled at the local pro shop, have a fit session, and ride the local club rides. They'll give you a good workout; you'll learn how to ride in a group.
Chrome-moly steel, any brand, works with the rider; the slight weight disadvantage will make you stronger; steel will teach you how to work the bike. Steel responds to your efforts, provides a constant feedback loop with your legs, which are still developing. If you crash, steel bends back into shape, and you can keep riding it.
The Europeans used to restrict gears on "Junior" racing bikes, so teenage cyclist would learn how to pedal fast and develope the heart and lungs, rather than bulk up the legs. So don't try to match the efforts of those 20 something guys with quads like Jan Ullrich. Use a lower gear and pedal faster, and you'll beat them as Lance did in the last Tour.
Road cycling, as constant efforts can be extended over long periods of time, provides better endurance and higher steady-state power than mountain biking. It's a real confidence booster to know you can go anywhere on a road bike. The world becomes yours to explore.

|Like others have said start out with something cheaper you'll learn to appreciate the sport, and later when you get a better bike you'll respect it more. I started out on an 89 trek i bought from my friends dad for $75, it was a great bike just to get to learn things, and having down-tube shifters helped me learn to balance and control the bike better. I've been riding about 2 years now and own a cannondale r800, learning to ride on an older bike made me stronger, and have more respect for the sport and i'm glad i got that experience. Just go out and check around for someone with a used bike for sale, its the best way to start
P.S. where u from? I'm from Macon, GA.

You might have read lately about “adventure” or “gravel” bikes. Part cyclocross bike, part road bike, part touring bike, these rides are designed to help you go anywhere your imagination can take you—on or off road.
Over the past few weeks we got a chance to test out Diamondback’s Haanjo. We loved it so much that after the test was over we bought one for ourselves.
About The Bike
The Haanjo comes in two models, both of which we got to test out. Both are built around a high end aluminum frame and fork, with disc brake mounts, fender mounts, and rear rack mounts. The geometry of the Haanjo is pretty relaxed, with huge tire clearance (both bikes come with WTB All Terrain 32mm tires). The emphasis here is clearly on keeping the bike capable of going off road while staying stable and comfortable for the rider.
The Haanjo Comp comes with a Shimano 105 10-speed road group, short cage rear derailleur with an 11-28T cassette, drop bars, FSA Gossamer 46/36 ‘cross crankset, and TRP’s exceptional Hy/Rd mechanically-activated disc brakes.
The Haanjo comes with a Shimano Sora 9-speed flat bar road group, long cage rear derailleur with an 11-30T cassette, flat bars, FSA Gossamer 46/36 ‘cross crankset, and Avid BB5 mechanical disc brakes.
We tested both bikes.
Unboxing and Set Up
Unboxing and set up for both bikes was pretty straight forward, since the bikes come 90% assembled. Just put the front wheel on, put the handlebars in the stem, and install the seatpost/saddle (already assembled). Each bike also comes with a pair of platform pedals, spare spokes, and some zip ties whose purpose remains a mystery, since they weren’t really necessary for setup.
Both bikes did need to have the brakes and derailleurs adjusted, but it wasn’t anything too major. The Avid BB5 brakes set up like any other mechanical disc brakes. The TRP brakes can be a little more frustratingly simple, so let us save you the headache: look for the knob with a picture of a lock on it. Unthread it counter clockwise until it pops up out of the socket. This will unlock the actuating arm. Once that is done, proceed much like you would with any other mechanical disc brake set up.
We added our own pedals, bottle cages, and saddle packs.
After spending a few days riding the Haanjo, we pretty much fell in love with the bike. It rode like no other bike we’ve ever tested… and we ride a lot of bikes. The best word we can think of to describe the ride feel is “confidence”. Whether we were on the road or on the trail, on the flat bar version or the drop bar version, we always felt confident in the bike’s ability to handle anything in its path.
The bike actually feels less like a CX bike-meets-road bike than it does a rigid mountain bike-meets-road bike…something that sounds admittedly dubious in theory but turns out to be amazing in reality. The Haanjo is easily the most versatile bike we’ve ever ridden. It doesn’t really excel in any one thing—it’s not as fast or lively as a road bike, nor as capable and controllable as a mountain bike—but it does very well in pretty much everything.
On the road the bike accelerates nicely, with smooth, predictable handling. The geometry on both bikes is also really nice for long days on the bike. The tall head tube, and slung-back geometry put you in a nice upright position that makes it easy on the back. The aluminum frame and fork feel nice and stiff for fairly snappy acceleration without any noticeable frame flex (even with a loaded rack on the back). Surprisingly we didn’t get any of the harsh road chatter we expected from this full aluminum rig, and the ride felt plush and comfortable. The WTB tires aren’t exactly the best for road riding, since the beefy tread and increased rolling resistance can slow your roll a little. For extended road riding, we replaced the WTB All Terrains with some Continental Gatorskin Hardshell 700x25c road tires.
Off road, the bike was just awesome. The handling almost felt more like we were riding a 29” mountain bike, instead of a twitchy CX bike. Thanks to the more upright geometry we were even able to take the bike over some more technical sections of trail without worrying about it too much—we felt totally in control of the bike. Off-road is also where the WTB tires came into their own. They really hooked into the trail nicely, with plenty of grip in the corners and hills, so we had the confidence to go full bore when we wanted to. The easy CX-style gearing meant that we had plenty of low-end gearing to make it up even the hardest inclines.
The stopping power of both the Avid and TRP disc brakes was impressive, even in the rain, mud, and dirt.
Just awesome. If, in some sad alternate world, we could only own one bike, it would easily be the Haanjo. Its ability to literally do anything and go anywhere is unmatched. Sometimes with a bike like this, one that tries to be all things to all people, you end up with a bike that’s really nothing to anybody— but not in this case. Diamondback really cracked the code and delivered up something truly remarkable… which might be why every shipment we get sells through so quickly.
When the test was over and we had to give the bikes back, we were a little sad. So sad in fact that we decided to go out and get ourselves a Haanjo flat bar. We look forward to seeing where it takes us in the days ahead.

Roll your muscles and roll your way to more effective workouts.
Use of foam rolling is on the rise, and some fitness trainers are urging more people to incorporate this activity into their exercise routines. There are significant benefits to the practice of foam rolling regularly.
In addition to and reducing post-workout soreness, foam rolling increases the effectiveness of workouts by smoothing out knots in your fascia, the connective tissue around your muscles, which contribute to movement restriction.
Breaking up these obtrusive knots prior to a workout allows for an increased range of motion. Thus, exercises become more efficient and effective, because executing and feeling movements properly “fires” and engages muscle fibers on a deeper level.
Yet, this tool only works if used properly. If you want to start a regular foam-rolling routine, or want to ensure you’re doing the moves correctly, celebrity trainer A Borden’s guide offers step-by-step instructions for her favorite beginner foam-rolling moves that target major muscle groups.
You’ll feel relief quickly, and, with consistency, start to see benefits in your workouts. Borden says you’ll likely notice a difference in how your body moves and feels after two weeks. She recommends doing each of these foam-rolling moves for 90 seconds (on both sides when applicable). “This is just long enough to work the entire muscle and feel some release of muscle tension,” she says. But you can go farther if your muscles need more rolling out. “Ideally you can spend as long as your body needs on each area depending on how tight you feel.”
Be advised, foam rolling can be a tad uncomfortable (or slightly painful) when just starting out or working overly tight muscles, but the early discomfort is worth pushing through. Granted, if you experience extraordinary or sharp pains, stop and consult with your doctor immediately.
Ready, set, roll.
1 … Quad Roll-Out
Start in forearm plank with the roller under the center of your quads perpendicular to your legs, as shown. Keep your head in line with your spine, eyes facing downward, and pull in your belly.
On your forearms, crawl forward until the roller is just above your kneecaps, then crawl backward until the roller is at the top of your thigh.
If you hit a sore spot, hold the roller there and bend and extend the leg that is feeling the knot.
Focus on placing your weight in your left leg for 90 seconds, then focus on your right leg for 90 seconds.
2 … Calf Roll-Out
Lie on your back with your hands behind your head, fingers interlaced. Position the roller under the bottom of your left calf, and cross your right ankle over your left calf on the roller for pressure, as shown.
Keeping your left foot relaxed, slowly turn the foot in and out to massage your left calf.
Slide the roller up your left calf and repeat the movement until the entire calf has been rolled out.
When you feel a sticking point as you roll your calf, hold on that point and do a giant circle with your bottom foot 3 times in one direction and 3 times in the opposite direction. Then move to next section of the calf.
Continue for 90 seconds, then repeat with your right calf.
3 … Glute Roll-Out
Sit on the roller (perpendicular to your body) with your knees bent, feet flat on the floor and hands on the floor behind you to support your body.
Cross your left ankle onto your right knee.
Tilt your left knee down toward the floor to open up your hip, as shown.
Using your right foot to move you, slowly roll back and forth. Try a few slightly different knee angles to adjust the intensity.
Continue for 90 seconds, then repeat with your right glute.
4 … Lat Roll-Out
Lie on your left side with knees slightly bent, your left knee slightly in front of you.
Bend your left elbow and cover your ear with your hand to support your head and neck. Try to not have any tension in your neck.
Place the roller just below your left armpit, perpendicular to your body, as shown.
Slowly rock forward and backward 5 times at armpit, and then move the roller to the place where the bottom of your sports bra hits. Rock forward and backward slowly.
Alternate between these two spots for 90 seconds, then repeat on the right side for 90 seconds.
5 … Upper Back Roll-Out
Lie face up with the roller under the bottom of your shoulder blades, knees bent and feet planted on the floor.
Interlace your fingers and place your hands behind your head, relaxing your neck.
Engage your core and raise your hips up off the floor.
Using your feet, slowly roll your body up and down so the roller moves from the bottom of your shoulder blades to the base of your neck, as shown.
Continue for 90 seconds.

The Core and Heavy Pressing
You often hear about core activation for lower body, but it also works just as well for improving upper body strength, including pressing.
The "deadbug" exercise is a common lower-body activation drill. Unlike a sit-up, it forces you to have great core and pelvic control while creating a ton of tension in the abs.
Now let's take the deadbug one step further for upper body activation.
Recently there's been some debate about whether sport specific exercises really improve sports performance compared to simply improving overall force production via regular lifts (squat, bench, deads, etc). Well, it depends on the exercise itself and the sport or specific movement you're trying to improve.
In this case, we use an exercise that's known to be highly effective for the anterior core and add a specific movement that promotes lat engagement and a proper bar path.
By engaging your core and pulling the bar down against the J-hooks you create a huge amount of tension in the lats and the core.
- Keep the spine neutral on the bench.
- Brace your core (abdomen specifically).
- Use your upper back and lats to "pull" the bar down, locking everything tight.
- Maintain the upper back tightness while you extend and flex your legs one at a time.
This exercise helps improve your ability to create tension in the upper back and lats while dynamically moving your legs. This is more important than you think.
That's true, but that's not the point. Learning to maintain tension and stay tight is crucial for any lift.
Many lifters lose tightness in the upper back after their first rep on the bench press. Doing these bar iso-deadbugs engrains the pattern of upper back tightness while another part of your body moves. This will help you stay tight throughout the set, saving your shoulders and making you stronger.
Your core is important in the bench press. It transfers energy from the ground to your upper body. A weaker core means lost energy and a weaker bench.
Your upper back and lats are very important when it comes to benching. Sure, they're not the prime movers, but they function to stabilize and provide a strong base to press from so you don't lose energy during the movement.
Give these a try during your next bench session.

Before I start with this post, I am a firm believer that you can run a half marathon, or any race for that matter, without the fancy gadgets and gizmos. It's fun to look like you stepped right out of a Nike advertisement, but don't let the higher cost keep you from running. For the 10 mile run I did, which was my longest run during training, I wore a t-shirt and an old pair of $5 Soffe shorts. I ran just as fast as I did in my Nike garb, so please don't think for a second that you have to buy the nice stuff.
That said, I definitely had some favorite gear during my training time. I was never the one in college wearing Nike shorts (Norts, as they were so lovingly referred to) every day to class. The cheapo in me couldn't justify spending $25 on work-out shorts when my old $5 pair worked just fine. That said, I have since seen the light and can see what all the fuss is about. They are just plain comfortable, and they are made for running. My all-time favorite workout outfits are actually the first nice work-out garb I ever received. I wish I had 20 different colors and could just wear this outfit every day, seriously.
See, it's light and breezy and allows for sporatic jumping movement. If the weather is warm, that is my go-to attire. If the weather is cooler (and keep in mind I live in Texas, so "cooler" is relative), I wear capris and a half zip jacket. I love the capris from Old Navy (and I love their price) and Under Armor, and my favorite half-zip is Nike. Below is my attire in December after a 6 mile run.
|Twin sister on the left, me on the right|
The day of the race, I actually wore a pair of shorts I got on clearance at Old Navy and a shirt from Target I was given as a gift from my little sisters. I think my outfit collectively cost $20, and it was absolutely perfect the entire 13.1 miles.
Last but not least, the shoes. This is NOT an area to take the cheap way out when you are training for a half marathon. I recommend a thousand times that you go to a running store and get fitted for shoes. Everyone is different and thus it's not a one shoe fits all scenario. I didn't live near a running store, so I went to Academy and bought a pair of shoes that felt good. They weren't even that much cheaper than what I would have bought at a specialty running store because I bought one of the most expensive pairs. It was my biggest mistake in training. When I got to the longer runs, I got some Texas-sized blisters. I took my shoes off after a run one day, and my toes were bleeding. Long story short(ish), get fitted for proper shoes.
The name brand stuff is awesome and really fun to own, but like I said at the beginning, it isn't a requirement. Old Navy and Target both have awesome selections at very reasonable prices. I find myself perusing the active wear every time I shop now!

Learning the nuances of a sport will not only make you a better athlete but a better practitioner in any discipline. One of the first steps of learning a new combat sport is figuring out the proper stance. A proper fighting stance will be slightly different depending upon the sport, and knowing those differences is what separates the good fighters from the great ones. Here, FightCamp Trainer Aaron Swenson breaks down the basics of the perfect kickboxing stance, as well as how to throw a low kick from your stance.
Finding The Perfect Kickboxing Stance
Key Tip: Put a foot-long piece of tape on the ground as a guide–your right foot should be on one side and your left foot on the other. This will help you form check while learning the stance basics.
Start off in a neutral stance
If you are right handed, put your left foot forward (orthodox stance)
If you are left handed, put your right foot forward (southpaw stance)
Note: All of these steps work just the opposite in a southpaw stance
Feet should be shoulder-width apart and staggered
Staggered: left heel is inline with your right toe
Check to make sure feet are on both sides of the tape
Front foot faces straight ahead
Rear foot is pigeon-toed inwards
Keep your weight on the ball of your foot
Arms are up in guard with your elbows tucked in
Arms should be perpendicular to the floor
Rear hand is right in front of you face
Lead hand is up slightly further out in front of face
Chin should be tucked slightly downward with eyes on target
Key Tip: Your hands are your first line of defense–you should be looking through your hands in the guard
When Facing a Target: Heavy Bag or Opponent
Stand about arms-length away
Target should be centered with the midline of your body
Rear Leg Low Kick
Using the steps above, assume the proper stance and distance.
Start by shifting your weight from your rear leg to your lead leg by taking a small 1-inch step with your lead leg at a 45-degree angle across your opponent
This will maximize your power and open up your hips
Perform a rear leg kick by raising your rear knee towards you opponent, through the center (chambering leg)
As you complete the motion upwards, extend your rear leg fully, making low contact with your shin and in-step
It is important to point your toe (plantar flexion) making contact with the top of the foot/shin
While kicking, swing your right arm backwards towards your bottom side to act as a counter balance, and bring your lead arm up to protect your face
Once you land the kick, return to your proper stance
Lead Leg Low Kick
Start by performing a larger 6-inch step across your target at a 45-degree angle towards your rear side to maximize power
This will open up your hips
Your weight will now be on your rear foot (think of “falling” off the center line towards your lead leg)
As you transfer your weight, chamber your knee towards your target while finishing off the kick in full extension, making contact with the bag with your shin or in-step
Your lead hand acts as counterbalance and swings backwards towards your back side
Your rear hand remains up in guard to protect your face
Once you land the kick, return immediately back to your proper stance
Practice 25 x’s
Now that you have mastered the proper kickboxing stance and low kick technique, begin by performing 25 kicks on each side.
Stepping and opening your hips
It should feel as if you are “falling” out of the center line while taking each step
Weight transfer should land on each foot that takes the step
Make sure you kick with your shin and in-step
Do not kick with your toe as this will break bones!
A Kicking Good Time
Lead kicks and rear kicks are two of the main strikes in kickboxing. It takes time to master the proper technique and rhythm so you can execute each kick safely. Using Aaron’s tips will help you learn the kickboxing basics and maximize your kicking power.

The popularity of bodyweight training is due, in large part, to its effectiveness. But within his skills, there are some other virtues that make him the favorite of many. Well it is also affordable and you can perform anywhere. Unfortunately, some myths persist around him, but that's over.
Together with the Freeletics experts, we dispel three of the most common myths about bodyweight training .
Myth 1: You can't build muscle with bodyweight training
This is simply false. To build muscle, you need two things: a load on the muscle that you're not used to, and adequate recovery time to get used to the load. How this charge is created is not crucial. Your own body weight as resistance is an extreme stimulus for the muscles. Functional muscle mass is strengthened and increased .
Myth 2: You can't change resistance during bodyweight training
It is enough to adjust the execution of the exercises. By changing the angle or the load on the joints, for example, you change the stress on the muscles you want to train. You can also alternate the intensity by changing the duration of the movement on each repetition.
For example, for push-ups, try keeping your body a few inches off the ground for five seconds on each repetition. By prolonging the tension of the muscles for a longer time, you increase the intensity of the exercise. This is also called “time under tension”, that is, the time that the muscle is tense.
Prolonged “time under tension” and low repetition numbers lead to increased muscle protein synthesis (muscle building). With a higher number of repetitions, you don't build as much muscle mass , but you train endurance and explosive power.
Myth 3: Bodyweight training burns fewer calories than resistance training
Bodyweight training not only burns as many calories as long-distance running or other endurance sports, it also stimulates muscle growth. More muscle mass causes you to burn more calories at rest, as your basal metabolic rate increases.
If you do high-intensity training with your body weight, you will also benefit from the so-called afterburn effect , which means that the body continues to burn calories even after training.
The bodyweight workout you need
Together with the Freeletics experts, we have prepared a workout that will challenge you and show you what you, your body and your will are capable of. Do 5 sets if you can and rest 30 seconds between each one. Have fun.
Start on a high plank. The hands should be under the shoulders and the feet should be flat on the ground. Ideally, the head, shoulders, hips, and feet form a straight line while the arms are extended.
Bring one foot hand-width apart, keeping your hips lower than shoulder-width apart. Then, walk your back foot forward as you walk your front foot back. Each side counts as one repetition.
30 x Push-ups
Start in the high plank position. The hands should be positioned under the shoulders and the feet firmly planted on the ground. The head, shoulders, hips and feet form a line. The knees and hips never touch the ground during the entire exercise. Lower your body until your chest touches the floor. Elbows remain close to the body. Release your hands from the floor and press down.
There isn't much technical complexity to this exercise—challenges come when we add combinations or extend the duration of the movement—however, that doesn't mean this classic exercise isn't effective. On the contrary, there is a reason why it continues to be one of the most popular, even in gyms, where the equipment exists to perform other variations.
30 x Squats
Stand upright with your legs shoulder-width apart. Push your buttocks back and squat deep. Make sure that the knees do not exceed the balls of the feet. You can join the hands in front of the body to stabilize the position.
50 x Jumping Jacks
Start in an upright position with your hands above your head. Jump up and spread your legs until the bar is wider than shoulder width. The palms of the hands touch the thighs. Jump up and bring your legs back together. Hands touch above the head.

Share your experiences with the 10th Annual Shelby Bottoms Boogie 15K Run & 5K Run/Walk below Back to event details page.
This course is as described. I have run it many times. There is one foot bridge that even though it is quite sturdy, it does swing just enough to let you know that it is moving and if you are surpised by that it can unnerve you momentarily.
The course is on a bike path so we will often meet some bike riders out there also. Even though the course is an out and back, there is a little lollipop loop at the end so you won't see everyone ahead or behind you.
Hopefully we will have a cooler day and have a good run.

Stand Up Paddle Boarding
More Than Just Standing and Paddling
There’s more to using a stand up paddle board (SUP) than what’s in the name. Outdoor enthusiasts are using SUPs for everything from running whitewater to practicing yoga.
These versatile boards are great fun no matter what body of water you place them on, from lakes to rivers and oceans.
Best of all, SUPs are now more transportable than ever.
SUPs date back to Hawaii’s earliest surfing days, when surf instructors used them to watch and teach students.
Now a popular fitness craze and go-to beach resort activity, stand up paddle boarding is a great core workout for people of all fitness levels – young and old.
To the amateur eye, SUPs look like bulky, oversized surfboards. Once you’re on one, you’ll be glad for the wider base.
SUPs are extremely easy to board and remain standing upon. However, they do vary by width and shape, depending on what they’re intended for.
Keep in mind that when using a SUP outside a swimming, surfing, or bathing area, the United States Coast Guard requires that you wear an approved life jacket, as the paddle board is treated as a vessel. Even if you're starting out in the surf, it's always a good idea to don a life jacket or pfd.
All-Around Paddle Boards: These boards are generally longer, wider, and thicker than other boards and offer the most stability.
If you’re just starting out or you’re looking for a versatile board for general use, this is the board for you. Use this board on still bays and lakes.
Paddle Surfing Boards: These boards are shorter and include a rocker shape for better performance in waves and swells.
Consider it a more “athletic” SUP, requiring more skill on your part to stay afloat. These are used on the ocean with waves or on rivers with whitewater.
Touring Paddle Boards: Touring boards are the absolute longest SUP. They often look like hard-shell kayaks, with a hull and tapered ends.
They’re designed for long-distance, fast paddling. Use this board on large lakes or bays where you’re putting in miles.
Inflatable Paddle Boards: Available in most shapes (all-around being the most popular), inflatable boards are made of rubber instead of foam or plastic, and they fold down into large backpacks for easy transportation and storage.
Once inflated waterside, these boards feel just as strong and sturdy as any other SUP – you won’t feel as though you’re on a flimsy raft.
SUP enthusiasts have two paddle choices: fixed shaft and adjustable shaft. Both are self-explanatory. Adjustable paddles can be adjusted to various heights and are best if more than one person may use the SUP.
Fixed-shaft paddles are best for individuals who want a custom fit.
SUP for Adventure or Exercise
Most people SUP for the adventure of it, as a new way of exploring waterways, or as a means of getting outside on lakes or oceans. Paddling makes for a great morning routine to explore a nearby lake or bay.
However, it’s such a good workout, it’s also become a favorite fitness method. Below are just a few active ways to use SUPs:
Surfing: Not for the beginner, but easier than traditional surfing, SUP surfing has several advantages.
The rider is already in a standing position, thus eliminating the technical skill needed to rise on a board, and the rider has a paddle to help catch waves. Start on small waves and work your way up.
Best in: Hawaii or the Pacific coast, where smaller waves break further from shore.
Whitewater: Like surfing, using an SUP on whitewater isn’t for the beginner. Best on Class I and II “riffles” and still river water, stand up paddle boarding on rivers requires a helmet and will result in some spills.
Enjoy on hot summer days on smaller, less-trafficked rivers.
Yoga: A great exercise method for beginners to try on an SUP, yoga combines the core benefits of stretching and balance with the need to balance on water.
Depending on your yoga competence, you can try almost any yoga move on an SUP (on still water). Keep your palms flat on the board during poses, but don’t feel bad if you occasionally need to grip the side.
Distance paddling: My favorite SUP exercise is to simply hop on and paddle. Plan to SUP for 30 minutes to start, gradually increasing your distance.
Beginners can expect to feel sore in their core muscles and arms after the first few tries!
No matter what you use your SUP for, you’ll enjoy being outside and on the water. And be advised: your friends will immediately want to borrow your board and paddle!
