Things are starting to get crazy!

Well it is that time of year again, days getting shorter and it is 24hr race season. Lead times are fluctuating between 1 and 2 weeks.

Speaking of race season, had a few customers race and place in the 24hrs of Sage -

Nick and Tracy Thelen - 1st place, Duo Coed

Chad Brockmier - 2nd place, Mens Solo Single Speed

Heather Williams - 2nd place, Womens Solo

Congrats to everyone! Vapor Trail 125 coming up this weekend, 24hrs of Colorado Springs on Oct 1st, then 24hrs of Moab on Oct 8th.


Been having a great summer! Got to go to the beginnings of the USA Cycling Pro Challenge series final stage in Golden. Me and Dano met at 4 am on Sunday morning at the Golden Recreation Center then rode up Chimney Gulch to the Nature Center at the top of Lookout Mountain.

The road from the bottom to the top that the pro's road up is 1700 feet in elevation gain and 7 miles from the bottom to the top of Lookout Mountain. The mountain trail that we ride, Chimney Gulch, takes us that same 1700 feet in elevation gain but it is only 3.5 miles of trail! Anyhoo, we got to the top and watched an amazing sunrise.

The road had been closed all night by State Patrol to keep people from trying to park vehicles on the road. Me and Dano cruised down Lookout Mountain Road from the top as spectators were hiking and biking up it.

The crowd on Lookout Mountain was amazing! Here is a video from FIFO regular Goldenboy that really shows the electricity in the air along the course.

Me and Dano rode Lookout Mountain Road down and stopped in several spots and chalked some art on the road.

I rushed home to watch the live coverage on the internet as the coverage on TV earlier in the week was terrible. The coverage on the Shack Tracker was great, following the Peloton up Lookout Mountain, even had a few helicopter shots. The coverage on NBC was more like Nascar.


Woke up the next day and opened up the paper, cool, the Pro Challenge made the front page. Looking a little closer, right in front of one guys front wheel the chalk on the road reads "Got Amoeba?". How cool is that?!

Some new flavors!

New flavors in the house!

Some changes are a coming

Hello all. Yes I am still here, still building lights. Haven't had a classified ad on MTBR for months but people are still finding me. Didn't realize that I did not have my email on my blog, OOPS. I will fix that right now.

So here is the story, I am not taking any orders at the moment, going to take a few weeks off and catch my breath. Got a few new offerings brewing in my head.


Keep an eye on my blog in the next couple of weeks for some new things.

Was able to finally get for a 5am before work ride last week, had been about a month. Here is a short video of the downhill from the top of Apex. 27 degrees at the start and 22 degrees when we got back to the cars.






No this one is not me, just too good not to post up




Thank you sir can I have another!

Latest update

Just wanted to post an update. Things are still busy. My build que is full up thru the end of the year. Currently taking orders for the weekend of Jan 1st.

Was able to finally get to bed at a descent time so that I could get up and get a ride in before work (5am). Me and Dano hit up Dinasaur Ridge (The Hogback). Was just what the doctor ordered!

Wow, things are getting crazy!!!!

*******NOTICE****

Due to the overwhelming interest for my Amoeba light as of late, my lead times are currently 2-3 weeks! YIKES, I know, that is crazy! I have a full time job and a family and only build lights on the weekends so my capacity has it limits.

I would like to say sorry to all of those MagicShine owners contacting me trying to get a light right away, I feel for you. If you can wait, I can guarantee that the wait will be worth it.



Took a little road trip down to Colorado Springs to do a night ride with the the gang. 14 riders showed up and it was a perfect night. Here is a rela short video clip of hightechredneck rolling down a steep drop at the quarry. Good stuff!




Once again, thanks for your patience and I hope I can help you out with your lighting needs.
