This sign now sits next to a barb wired fence at the top of the Tapia Canyon Fire road near the power lines. It is so frustrating to see as Tapia Canyon, located in Castaic, CA, is one of the most fun places to Mountain Bike in all of Southern California. According to some people we talked to, it was closed down due to some new homes being built. I have no idea where they plan on putting homes and I will add to this post once I find out more.
We operate a retail shop and corporate headquarters in Valencia, CA and Tapia is our local riding spot of choice (Just 5 miles away!).

Just last weekend I attached it to my dog on our hike and posted it to Facebook and got some likes from a few cute girls (because likes mean everything, right!?). I'll post the video later this week. I digress, and provide you with some tips when deciding to purchase your GoPro.
One of the latest trends in snow sports electronics that we've come to love is the wireless Bluetooth 


The new wireless trend is only growing. With advancements in technology, it is safe to say that in years to come, merely everything will be wireless. As some can tell, we are very fond of the growing brand Outdoor Technology. They have a brand new product out which converts any speakers, headphones, or device that accepts a 3.5mm jack into a convenient, wireless device. This is especially amazing for those who shred the mountains and enjoy listening to that new mix you made to pump you up. All you do is plug in your 3.5mm device into the converter, instantly making your music experience wire-free. We present the
