The word MOJO has several meanings. None of which will you find in a standard English Dictionary (you can find it in a large, desktop edition). A search of the INTERNET turns up all kinds of interesting definitions. The one that best fits it's use in Mountain Biking is: A good luck amulet.

A MOJO can be some appropriate piece of trail swag, a gift from a spouse, loved one or friend, a small toy given to you by a child, or something you just find. It CANNOT be anything you just go out and BUY! This last part is a law of VOODOO.

MOJO's are attached to the handle bars or stem of your bike and are given names. You must touch and silently speak to your MOJO before a ride for it to take on it's mystical power of "good luck" and "safety." Your MOJO should remind you of a happy thought such as the child that said "Here daddy, this will keep you from crashing." or "I remember finding this on that beautiful single track in Brown Canyon."

Below are some snapshots of MOJO's of some club members. In most cases the MOJO name and short history will be included.

Name: "Tommy"

History: Sometimes kids are wonderful. Mark's 6 year old daughter gave Tommy to him so he would have some company on the trail. When your head is down, working on those long uphill grinds, it must help to know you kids are sort of there with you.

Dick Bryant's MOJO.

Name: "SLIMO"

History: Although Dick insists that everyone else "find" or be "given" their MOJOs, he bought his. He says he is simply testing the theory. Here is Dick's justification: "While it is well-known that mojos should be found on the trail (best) or received as gifts, I maintain that purchased mojos like Slimo accumulate positive karma as they are carried. Over time, these mojos approach the power of the found or gifted variety..."

Jerry Quesnel's MOJO

Name: & quot;PINCUSHION"

History: Pincushion was a gift from his wife. The name comes from the endless times she has had to help him pick cactus thorns out of his scrawny body.

Dave Barger's MOJO

Name: "SCOOTER"

History: Dave really did find Scooter on a ride. This means that his MOJO has the potential to be very powerful. While riding in TMP Dave found this beauty (Scooter only has two wheels).

Mark Flint's MOJO

Name: " unknown"

History: This is not Mark's first MOJO. While in Oregon he had a Dream Catcher which worked nicely for him. For some unknow reason he changed to a Star Trek one and ran into some misfortune. After changing back to the Dream Catcher things once again were ok. During the trip from Oregon to Arizona the Dream Catcher disappeared. Must have been a location specific MOJO. This one was given to Mark by his niece Michelle and it appears to be working.

John Shouse's MOJO

Name: UNKNOWN

History: John found his MOJO while riding on the East side of Tucson near what is now Fantasy Island

Glen Powell's MOJO

Name: SLOJO

History: Glen's former MOJO, the flattened frog, just wasn't working. After several bad falls of friend of his (my wife Cathy) gave him a new MOJO. In fact she even named it for him so that it would remind Glen to go more slowly on Baby Head infested, downhill, fast, nasty single track .

It seems that she (Slojo) is working since Glen is now back riding and he does appear to be going more slowly.

Steve Coleman's MOJO

Name: YODA

History: This is actually the second YODA for Steve. His original was stolen along with his bike. He "acquired" this one from his brother (stole it from him). We are not sure how stealing a MOJO influences it's karma.
