Mike Saavedra at Woodward Tahoe

November 28, 2012

Hell yeah! This is awesome.

“As fall was setting in, Deluxe pro Mike Saavedra expressed worry that the trails he built at Woodward Camp’s new Lake Tahoe location wouldn’t last much longer. Tahoe at the end of summer sounded like a perfect weekender to me, so two days later, we were packed and headed out on an 8-hour overnight drive. When we arrived, we were in luck — the trails were in good shape since Mike, his brother, and their crew built them months ago. After a good day of riding went down, we had a little extra time on our hands so we went all over Lake Tahoe — climbing on waterfalls, swimming at the beach, and even a wild night in Reno with Cesar Lopez. All in all, the trip was way too much fun and now we all can’t wait to go back when the snow is good.” Aaron Nardi / ESPN BMX

Blue Bench Trails Edit

July 22, 2012

Head over to the ESPN website for an awesome video that Aaron Nardi put together from Mike Saavedra’s Blue Bench Trails in California. These are some of the best looking trails in the world and there’s plenty of damn good riding that goes down. I did spot a clip or two that also appeared in the new Deluxe video “Part Deux” which also features a full part from Mike and the Blue Bench Trails.

Review: Deluxe – Part Deux DVD

July 19, 2012

For the last year I’ve been anticipating the release of Deluxe‘s second DVD, Part Deux. There’s something about the trails scene that never fails to leave my mind completely blown. In a BMX bloggers world that’s primarily dominated by videos of people doing barspins, tailwhips and grinds on street or flairs and tuck no hander’s to double barspins at the skatepark, there really never seems to be as much trails footage going around. I have noticed that there has definitely been a little more trails footage surfacing these days, but no where near enough. That’s why I got excited about this DVD. After waiting it out, the DVD was finally released this past week and I’ve finally had the chance to take a look at the video! Here’s what it’s all about…

How To: Maintain Respect at the Trails

June 7, 2012

Some sound advice from Mike Saavedra. Definitely pick up a shovel people!

“It’s not too hard to keep it cool at the trails, but there always seems to be a new issue every other week over the same old issues–riding without watering, treating the trails as if they were a local skatepark, you name it, it seems to happen on a regular basis and cause a hell of a stir, no matter what patch of woods you’re in. In this week’s How To, Mike Saavedra gives you the run down on how to respect a spot, the locals that created it, and what he and plenty of other trail riders around the world expect from those who don’t put in hard work there on the regular. Trails are plenty of fun–but that fun comes with hard work that should at very least, be acknowledged, as Mike tells you in the video above.” – Ride BMX
