Mountain Biking - Cousins came over to visit...

Well, they came to visit me all the way back from Hungary. :D Anyway, my cousin, he's 23, races XC and also does freeride. I got loads of presents from him: A pair of Specialized socks (they're amazing, the only socks EVER that I didn't get sweaty in after a 5 hour ride), a Specialized water bottle, a tin of Gatorade powder (energy drink), some chocolate and last but certainly not least: 6 :eek: DVDs : Kranked 3,4,5 , New World Disorder 3 and 4 along with Crankworks. I've watched Kranked 4 and the New World Disorders and I must say the riding in them is amazing, some stuff they do is simply crazy (I mean, who would attempt a road gap over Tour de France?!).

Just wanted to share and to say if any of you get the chance to buy or rent Kranked 4 or New World Disorder 3,4 then DO SO! :)

PS: We've gone riding 3 times so far, here are some pics and stuff.
Pretty hilarious, after I took him through 4 of my favourite trails he said:
"Before we left I even thought of unscrewing your helmet's chinguard [I lent it to him for the ride]. Now, I wish I'd have brought my shinguards and other gear." :D

Pictures of two of the rides:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v92/gabor/Bike/Misikpek2030.jpg --- Misi, again, on the Fireman Trail, different obstacle.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v92/gabor/Bike/Misikpek2008.jpg --- Me flying down a rooty part of the "Hobo Trail" (funny names, eh?). The roots are right after a fast section so it's a really fun part.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v92/gabor/Bike/Misikpek2006.jpg --- Misi and me, posing for a photo with autotimer thingy function from his camera. (quick brake in climbing up, that's why seats are high)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v92/gabor/Bike/Misikpek111.jpg --- I find this photo awesome, see for yourself.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v92/gabor/Bike/Misikpek108.jpg --- Me down the rooty part again, different day.

:lol: It was kind of unfortunate he didn't land it, because then it just looked like he was a dumbass who thought he was good and tried to disturb things but if he'd have landed it then it really would have impressed everyone. ;)

Thats a very generous Cousin you have and top pics fella.

Hehe, yeah, as for the pics, most were made by him, he really is a great photographer.
Cheers

Are both those bikes yours or did he bring his own with him? And i second the "awesome" for that one picture.

Nice nice nice!

I like that Bruiser...

yea i saw some clips of those on www.dirtworld.com they are pretty awsome. if you want to look at some more check their site out.

Hehe, the Bruiser is a friend's who was kind enough to lend it to us for half a week, not mine. :)

I'd never let my friends borrow my bike. Nothing personal I'd just go nuts thinking of where it was.

Great pics! Your cousins must be good people.

bruiser2: Yeah, neither me... maybe nor him, except he lent it to us providing we fixed his brakes (constant shinshinshinshinshin sound) and adjusted his derailleur. I told him my cousin was a much more experienced rider and in the end he lent it to us. Afterwards my cousin bought him some tasty chocolates. :)
harov3: Thanks. Yeah, they really are great. :D
