Let me start off by saying how grateful I am for the opportunity to be a part of such a vibrant team here at Integrated Media. I’ve recently taken over the reins at Full Sus from Seamus, and by what I hear and read he did an incredible job. Thanks […]

Talk About An Emotional Roller Coaster
I sit here writing with a heart that is completely torn. It is both excited and at the same time hurting. As in all typical relationships my head is wanting to take over (which is probably sensible) but my heart is still winning. I’ll try explain: I am back in […]
Raising Rippers
I’ll admit I have absolutely no personal experience on this front. But I’ve coached a fair amount of school sport and studied some of the youth athlete developmental theories back in my days as a Sport Science undergraduate, with those lessons and my own experiences as a youngster taking up […]
A Little Change, With More to Come
So there are a few changes afoot at Full Sus. The first one you’re noticing is that it now falls upon me to write this Ed’s Letter and pull the issue together in some sort of succinct fashion. It seems so easy in theory but when you’ve been down the […]

Writing from a Volcanic MTB Paradise
I am writing from 1 500 meters above sea level which isn’t high for you guys on the reef, but the amazing part is that we are in the middle of the Indian Ocean, on the slopes of an active volcano on the insanely unique island of Reunion. We are here as […]
Soft targets!
We have banged this drum ad nauseam but as mountain bikers it is now very much on our doorstep – which in most cases is some remote, sublimely secluded beautiful part of the mountain or countryside. We are soft targets with expensive toys. Cyclists are being stabbed, hit with bricks […]
Winter willies don’t scare us MTBers!
“I can’t believe how quickly you lose your fitness” lamented my mate Rudy as we puffed our way around a morning ride before our planned meeting. Yip it’s frustrating and the dark and cold doesn’t make it easier to jump on the bike and hit the trails but if you […]
