Who are these guys? The Mooseknucklers
Photo by Bryce Pratt The Knuckler, a.k.a Lukas, the only one dumb enough to try and keep this website updated. Currently residing in the beautiful desert known as SG while fomenting the demise of this capitalist wasteland.His racing career consisted of one 24 hour race and he has sworn to never pedal a bicycle in hopes of being fast ever again.
Sir Gurr, the Rman, one of the original four. Sir Gurr was the man behind the advocacy group and the one who made this website even possible. He currently owns Red Rock Bicycle and rocks the trails whenever possible. Plus he has the best bar in St. George. Sure would be nice to see it again….
I-kitty, yes the toothless now retoothed man himself. After a nasty spill on White Pine singletrack and hours in the dentist chair, I-dog now has full smile. A regular at the Alliance Rides, he has been working with Lukas for the past year and has learned to tolerate him.A specialist when it comes to climbing, we challenge everyone to beat him to the top of Jardine.
Bikes: KHS Flite 100, Orbea CR17 and Giant Yukon.
The Golden Knuckle (also known as the German) first ran into the Alliance while trying to sell advertisements in the local fish rubber. Once in, he hasn’t been able to get back out. His wife hated it so he got rid of her. He is currently back in NY but should be seen this side of the Mississippi soon.
Bikes: Jack Hearne, Giant Trance X2 and a Schwinn something or other.
Mr. Pratt who was recently upgraded to Sir Pratt. One of the originals who could tell you the whole story or the rest of the story depending on how you look at it. Photographer at large and amazing rider. He’s been known to ride vertical surfaces and turn half way down. No he’s not god, but damn he is good.
Casey, KC and or AC has been around since the beginning of time but only became a Mooseknuckler a couple of years ago. A good wrench, touring expert and quote producer, he is famous for saying things like, “There’s nothing sexy about corporate fascism.” Unfortunately, he quit the industry a few months back, but we are doing are best to intice him back in. He can still be seen riding his bike through the Logan winters in shorts and sandles.
Little Erin is the newest addition and also the youngest. She has been rocking the Alley Cat races. Her first race she beat out I-dog in the last stretch. This month she rocked the whole group and beat Speedy out to take the win on the last corner. At 14, she may be young but she is turning out to be a good wrench. Plus she just signed on as the first official Alliance racer.
Fast Eddie, the name says it all. Our Chilean friend rocks it whether he has been training or not. He was the inspiration for the Knuckler’s first singlespeed and still kicks his ass on the trails. Faster than a Ladron and more talented than Los Jaivas, es un huevon arrogante que nunca deja de soprender.
ProZac was also one of the originals and can tell you the whole story. He once raced like it was no one else’s business but now dedicates himself to saving souls. He is currently in Lagrange, Wyoming going to Bible school. Due to his location he hasn’t ridden with the Alliance for a while, but he will always be a Mooseknuckler.
Cimarron Chacon, wife of Mr. Pratt but definitely don’t call her Mrs. Pratt. She has worked building, designing and advocating trails for a very long time. Some of our favorite rides can be linked back to her. She is currently working independently on several projects so keep your eye out for new singletrack.
KB, Caty or Kathleen inadvertently ended up running into the Knuckler a few years back and her life has been a downhill spiral ever since. A Mooseknuckler by default and in her own right, she rode for Team IMBA at the 24 Hours in Old Pueblo and has been known to rip the trails in SG leaving Lukas looking for more gears to keep up.
Danny, or D, as he has come to be known, has been a member of the Red Rock Race team as long as I can remember. Not only is he fast but he’s also a lot of fun to ride with. He’ll say things like, “Man this hill is killing my chest.” And then continue to chat while you finish climbing the lung buster…
Photo coming soon… Kim is a lot of fun to ride with but even more fun to drink with. She is wedded to D and can rock with the best of ‘em.
Erik is the new fearless leader of the north. He became my second hand man at Sunrise and took over when I came back south. One of the most talented riders that I have ever ridden with, we hope to see many pictures coming down once the north thaws.
Anson is a carpenter, musician and all around good guy. He began riding with the Alliance a couple of years ago and has been keeping up ever since. If you ever need a good laugh, Anson’s your man.
