DH or DJ?
I mix it up as much as possible, riding 20” helps me be more accurate on my big bike, and DH helps me go bigger on my little bike; it’s a symbiotic relationship.

Words by John Baxter

You love bikes. Perhaps you work tirelessly on your own rig, dreaming of a job where you could fix and build bikes every day. Desk jobs are for suckers, right? Whether it’s wrenching in a shop, traveling the world with a racing team, or designing and building your own frames, some people are meant to be around bikes all day long.

But how did these people learn to wrench on bikes, or to build custom frames? How do they get these cool jobs?

So, Wisconsin may not be the first state that comes to mind when you think of mountain biking, much less epic single track. The north woods of Wisconsin is known more for hunting, fishing , and people who drink copious amounts of beer. But don’t let that fool you. There are gems of trail systems hidden all over the forests, like the trails at Nine Mile State Forest in Wausau Wisconsin.
