Hi, I’m Jeff!

Hi, I’m Jeff!

Catch me (if you can) riding a manual down just about every trail.

I grew up in the Santa Cruz mountains, riding BMX, trials, and cross country mountain bikes.

Now I call Bellingham, WA my home and am grateful to be living my childhood dream: riding mountain bikes for a living, teaching people better riding techniques, and raising my awesome daughter to follow in my pedal strokes.

Thanks for being here.
Peace & Wheelies,
Jeff
