Cabo Arch - Mike steidley

He didn't really get anywhere near this 'Cabo Arch' though did he?

It was a bit like travelling all the way to Stonehenge but riding the rocks on a nearby hillside, with Stonehenge in the background.

It did look like a good location, just a shame about all the sand.

location and filming was great. although for me this is another case of bike being too long for the rider syndrome, ei: pavel ect.

just looks ugly, and i dont know why people are rolling their bars so far forward when clearly they cant get the weight anywere near the back end and its a game of catch up with the front end. Not in anyway hating, i just dont get it, its becoming more and more common and its so ugly to watch, although hes good the style ruins it for me.

Bars back, giant bmx mode engaged.

The stem also has to do with it, way too long for those riders.

I'm friends with Mike, so I'll chime in. Super nice guy, has done a lot to help out the north american scene. One of the only riders I've seen in person who really impressed me. The guy has a fairly crazy sidehop, like shoulder height. Really good natty rider, super techy.

I don't think his bars are too far forward, last time I rode with him they were fairly normal. But it looks that way cause, he's not a tall person. Personally I think he would do better with a 130 stem, but he seems to like his setup so who cares? Anywho, he rides and trains like a comp rider, so the bike suits him. Does got some fairly high profile shows though :)
