Intrinsic Flow Mountain Biking Intrinsic Flow is a mountain bike instruction and guiding company in Bellingham, Washington started by trail builder and rider, Mike Storm. I can help. -Mike

I have a great empathy for riders longing to improve but struggling with fear of injury. The learning curve for MTB is pretty steep. I can save you unnecessary pain that comes from learning to ride by trial and error. Whether you are learning to jump your bike or just learning to ride trail for the first time, I'm your guy.

Moisture is back and it’s time to dig! The third Wednesday of each month from 9am till noon, we’ll be digging in the Chucks. If you’ve got Wednesdays off, come dig with us! No experience or tools needed. All are welcome!

We’ll be meeting in the Cryrus Gates Overlook lot at the top of Cleator Road unless the gate is closed.

We’ll most likely continue with this schedule (3rd Wednesday of each month) until February or March assuming we don’t end up with snow. If you would like to join, send me a message the week of.

Thanks! - Mike

Crashes happen even when you try to ride smart. On this day, I got to ride with friends (first time in a few months) and I was feeling the fall vibes and let my usual vigilant mindset lapse.

I had just ridden these two jumps less than a week before. Since then a tree had fallen on the landing and I spotted it in the air. 😳

It’s a reminder that as seasons change, so do trail conditions. Also, weather extremes of wind, rain or snow can change things dramatically.

I’ve been riding MTB for 31 years and coaching professionally for 10. I thought I was past this, but no. It happens to me too.

Things could have gone worse then they did. I’m mostly just banged up and grateful to have a broke rib as the worst of it.

What about you? Have you been bitten by changing trail conditions too?

Thanks to Rich Cochrane for the trail side check-up!

This year marked the first year that has submitted a video for Whatcom MTB Coalition fundraiser and video/photo contest Shoot The Trails! And though we had a number setbacks including missing two of our regular riders (Emmett and Jet) and having a last minute change of trail (to Cedar Fever), we still had a ton of fun learning and filming! A massive thank you to Nathan Harris for this. He’s an incredible drone pilot, videographer and just a solid human! And his love for what for video and his professionalism made the process easy and, most important of all, fun!

Thanks so much, Nathan!

Thanks to Mark Archer for help with coaching! You were a huge help and the kids loved working with you!

Thanks also to the kids in the program and the parents that believe in what we do here. This was a first step to a bigger and more robust program. And I’m super excited to have these wonderful people on board.

Expect to see more in the next few weeks here on Instagram and Facebook, but if you don’t want to wait, click the Youth Freeride Guild link in the description amd watch the full video. It’s awesome what these kids are doing!

Do you have a trail feature on the mountain that’s been plaguing you?

Perhaps what you need is a little guidance in the form of a 3 Hour On-Mountain Lesson for you and a friend.

We’ve done it for our regular customers, but this year we’re doing it as a donation to Whatcom MTB Coalition Shoot the Trails!

We would love for you to be the one to get it! Buy your ticket for the event and buy your raffle tickets once you get there. We want you to conquer your fears in 2027 with a gift certificate from Intrinsic Flow!

Now, for the small print:
- Certificate expires after the 2027 season
- For a targeted lessons, ypu’ll need to show that you have the baseline skills for the feature before attempting
- Targeted lesson can be used for any feature up to 20’

Come out to Shoot the Trails this Saturday!

Last shuttle day in September, my buddy Rich rode. On the last run I joined in and he went first. Before he went, he challenged me to catch him.

Chqllenge accepted!

Did I succeed? Watch and find out. As a bonus, you get to hear (see) the voices inside my head. 😳😂

Want to join us for the last shuttle of the season this Saturday? Check the website for details. BTW, weather is looking prime. 🙌

This jump on Radical Dragon is a fun one, but there are plenty of stunps and random roots to keep you on your toes. Once ypu’re used to it, it’s fine and even more fun because it.

If you’ve not hit the jump yet, here are some tips to make it go a bit more smoothly. Or if you’ve been riding it and found it to be a bit bucky, this should help.

We’re down to our last 2 weeks of clinics for the year including Trail Skills 2 and Jumping 2: Mind the Gap. See the website for more info!

It’s not every day you get to ride with a local legend. Especially one that built or had a hand in building many local trails including Scorpion and 911 at Galbraith Mountain. With 40 or more years of experience, he has some stories about building and riding in and around Bellingham.

Dan is soft spoken and has a dry wit that if you’re not paying attention will catch you unawares and have you laughing - if not in the moment - definely days later. Turn up the volume in the video to see what I mean. 😂

Here, I follow Dan on some local faves including two trails that he helped shape.

To be clear this is a chill day for Dan. I’ve seen him scare people half his age (including me!) Can you believe this guy is over 70?!

Confident riding means being confident with braking - especially using the front brake. Riders often say they are confident braking, but when tested don’t use their front brake enough or at all. But what if you couldn’t even rest your finger on the rear brake and instead had to rely totally on the front?

Could you do it?

If you answer no OR I don’t know, Trail Skills 1 this Saturday is for you.

My baby drove to high school today for her first day back and I’m left wondering what the hell just happened? Seriously?! I mean I heard this would happen, but I now that this one is officially on the down side of tax payer provided formative education, I’m in complete disbelief.

Anyway, I coudn’t be more proud of who she is and the hard work that she puts into everything she does.

I love you Sloan! You’re my one and only and you are a badass. Junior year, here we go!
