STRIDER Birthday Party!

Thursday, April 12th, 2012

What kind of birthday party do you have when your Dad owns a powersports store? You guessed it…A STRIDER party with all your friends.

This wasn’t just any STRIDER either! Check out the Yamaha racing plate signed by none other than James Stewart and Davi Millsaps at a recent Supercross event.

Racen turned 3 and he is all about STRIDER riding and Dirt Bikes. With a name like Racen and a jump start on two wheels he may be riding for team JGR Racing and autographing number plates someday!

Stride On and Happy Birthday!

Bunny Hops With Danny McAskill…Happy Easter!

Sunday, April 8th, 2012

I tried and tried to find a moderately amusing video of an Easter Bunny on a bicycle…it’s more difficult than you would think. So instead of a bunny on a bike here is an awesome video of Danny McAskill taking Bunny Hopping to an entirely new level!

Hope everyone is having a Happy Easter, Safe Travels and Fun Family Times! Stride On…

Results From The Inaugural Strider Snow Cup!

Wednesday, April 4th, 2012

Terry Peak Ski Resort in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota was the site of the inaugural Strider Snow Cup. It was also the unveiling of the brand new STRIDER Ski Attachment! We were blessed with blue skies and 70+ degrees…perfect for us, but not so much for the ~~snow~~ slush

Even with less than ideal snow conditions the skis worked wonderfully for both the kids and adults (videos of both to come shortly). One Strider Rider was up from Colorado. She missed the races by about 30 minutes, but she already had the chance to use her STRIDER Ski Attachments when it snowed in Denver earlier this week.

Here are the results…Please share your photos, video or stories with us over at www.StriderLife.com

STRIDER ST-3 Review in Bike Magazine

Monday, April 2nd, 2012

We were very excited when we came across this review of the 2012 STRIDER ST-3 in the March issue of “bike magazine“! There are so many kids of mountain bikers riding STRIDER Bikes that it really is a perfect fit. The review was also written from a fresh perspective…read the review below and see if you agree.

Stride On!

Can Your Family Commit to 30 Days Of Biking?

Saturday, March 31st, 2012

In 2010 a couple bicyclists in Minneapolis, MN challenged each other to ride their bike every day for the month of April. Whether it was on a family ride around the block, on a long commute to work or just some mountain biking for fun.

The first year there were around 600 locals and bike-savvy techies that picked up on #30daysofbiking and the a bunch of fun content that was being posted on Twitter. By year two there were over 2000 registered riders and this year there is already 2,500!

This is where you come in! Go…Register…leave a comment about how STRIDER has gotten you back on your bike having fun with the kids.

Sometimes I rebel against “Signing On” to something because it makes me feel guilty if I miss a day or fall behind. My advice is to try your hardest to ride a bike every day…don’t get upset if you miss a day, just jump back on the saddle tomorrow. “What if I already ride every day?” you may ask. Ride More!

30 Days of biking is a great way to start your Summer off right and hopefully get in the healthy habit of pedaling and Stridering more often!

Stride On!

Friday, March 30th, 2012

We love to watch all of the YouTube videos and look at all the photos that parents send us. With the addition of StriderLife last year the conversations and media being shared is even more prolific than before.

There was a recent video uploaded to YouTube that really caught our attention. Not only did the parents catch on to our new catch phrase, “Stride On”, but it also showed the many situations that a STRIDER excels in! Shep rides his STRIDER on BMX tracks, Logs, Concrete, Single track and more.

As he rides the length of an obstacle and a log at the end of the video his Dad says, “You Did It!” to which Shep replies, “YAY!”

We feel the same way Shep…Stride On!
