    Arizona State ParksCottonwood AZ (March 16, 2014) – Experienced mountain bikers will teach workshops Saturdays at Dead Horse Ranch State Park. The Better Mountain Biking sessions will be held on March 22, 29 and April 5, 12, 19 and 26 and May 3, 2014.

    These workshops are for those that have a mountain bike, and want to try taking it off-road, for those that are nervous riding with friends or significant others because they ride “those hard trails,” those that don’t want to slow friends down, because “they’re a lot better than me,” those that have tried to teach friends how to mountain bike, but find it hard to explain things or experienced mountain bikers who want to refine their technique.

    HOME 553Better Mountain Biking sessions start at 12 p.m. on Saturdays and go until approximately 4:00, according to Ranger Randy Victory. “We start with a couple of drills on the pavement, then move immediately to the dirt.” Victory, a mountain biker since 1977, outlines topics including basic riding techniques, physics, trail etiquette, and more. The rides are fun and educational for beginners, but even experienced bikers ride away with new skills and knowledge. “There’s always a certain amount of interaction between riders,” explains Victory. “Group rides where the beginners are supportive of each other, and more experienced riders can offer their insight, are an excellent way to build skills, and have fun doing it!” Riders are REQUIRED to wear a helmet and gloves and complete an Acknowledgment of Risk Form (parents must sign for riders under 18 years old, minimum age 14-16). This form can be downloaded from the Arizona State Parks website at AZStateParks.com/parks/DEHO.

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
