Technology is slowing evolving the tools that we use outdoors making them lighter, faster, stronger and sometimes smarter.

Traveling and adventure has become a thing of intense blandness, offering all the excitement of a quilting class. At what point did “adventure” become defined as taking a cruise to whale watch?

What’s it like to be 39 years old, with eleven ASP World Championships, one obtained as the youngest ASP rider ever and another as the oldest ASP rider?

The Handmade Knife From Brooklyn: Cut Brooklyn

I have been spending a ton of time behind the scenes, admittedly not working on updating the website, but instead focusing on the process of creating Savage’s first ever products.
