Professional freeride and trials rider to lead daily rides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brownsville, Vt. (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE)<\/strong> \u2013 FLOW STATE, The Vermont Mountain Bike Festival sponsored by Lawson’s Finest Liquids and Mountain Flyer Magazine<\/em>, is excited to welcome professional mountain biker Jeff Lenosky to Ascutney Trails from July 30- August 1st.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lenosky, an ambassador for REEB Cycles, Pearl Izumi and the Can’d Aid Foundation, is a former national champion trials rider and once held the record for the highest bunny hop (45.5 inches). Recently, he’s focused on passing on the skills he’s mastered to others. His YouTube channel has nearly 70 thousand subscribers and it’s as entertaining as it is instructional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lenosky’s specialty is riding the “unrideable.” Only now he’s sharing how to up every rider’s game so they can ride what was previously unrideable for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As a kid, I grew up looking up to freestyle BMX riders who would tour the country and perform demos,” he recently told FLOW STATE sponsor Mountain Flyer Magazine. “When I first got sponsored for mountain bike trials my first real value to my sponsors was touring around doing trials demos. I’ve always enjoyed sharing the stoke of riding with other people so I think it’s awesome that nowadays people want to get involved in the action so the best way to make those connections is to set up group ride events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The main goal for me sharing my knowledge with other riders is helping them learn and watching them have break through moments,” he added. “Helping riders learn a completely new skill gives me the same satisfaction I had when I was learning many years ago!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given that most events were cancelled last year, Lenosky is psyched to get back on the evangelism trail. And, being from New Jersey, he’s especially excited to get back to the Northeast single track for which Ascutney is known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’ve ridden Vermont many times and I’ve always loved the terrain,” he says. “Being an East Coaster myself there’s always a certain familiarity about it. I’m excited to ride Ascutney because my only impression of it was a ride I did there about five years ago: It was awesome but I got completely lost so I’m sure once I know where I’m going it’ll be even better!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Lenosky assures the promoters he’ll get well acquainted with the trails before leading a group ride!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
