Brian Miller is from Mill Valley, CA, and he’s been dropping by the WTB office for years. After the first couple of visits a couple of things about him really stood out: he always had a great attitude and hardly asked for anything despite the fact that his bikes were always falling apart. Before long, we started to realize that his skills went well beyond “local ripper”, and we can’t say that we were surprised to see him claim third place at the AT Showdown dirt jump competition earlier this year.

It looks like Miller is really getting his act together. He has full support from Haro bikes, some kick-ass video segments on the web and a great profile on Pink Bike. Anyway, we’re proud of our local boy. Even though he’s now living in dirt jump Mecca Aptos, CA, he’s still our favorite local dirt jump rider.

Looks like the crew at Twentynineinches.com is head-over-heals in love with the Wolverine 29″ tire. In a recent review (the Wolverine’s Mid-Term Test), the editor stated, “I have many hours on this as a front tire over a wide range of surfaces and across two bikes. It has fast become my favorite front tire for all around trail riding.” And it gets even better from there. Read the entire review here.
