Last month I completed the Olympic Mountain 6500-foot List - 52 Olympic peaks over 6,500 feet with at least 400 feet of prominence.
You’ve likely seen it: the tiny, rusted antique bicycle perched near the front windows of the shop. It looks more like a Victorian garden ornament than a mountain bike, with its solid rubber tires and a frame that seems held together by sheer stubbornness. Most folks assume it’s just a conversation piece, but the truth is far more interesting.
That little bike was the first machine to ever descend Dry Hill, and it did so under the command of the most rugged man to ever set foot on the Olympic Peninsula: "Barnacle" Bill Muldoon.
For this Staff Trail Pick, shop employee Mitch McDougall hopped on his Specialized Status, accompanied by Aimee on her Stumpjumper, to explore one of the peninsula's few dedicated XC singletrack loops.
This high-octane edit follows BMX legends Kriss Kyle and Christian Rigal as they swap their 20-inch wheels for Specialized Stumpjumpers and Levo SLs, proving that world-class style translates to any terrain.
Watch Kriss Kyle redefine what’s possible on a mountain bike as he rides the face of a massive dam and reservoir, taking on high-consequence exposure, ultra-steep lines, and razor-sharp technical features. With unmatched creativity and control, Kriss tackles terrain few would dare — all aboard the Stumpjumper 15.
