I have a few good videos from the riding we did yesterday. What is the best way to host them on the net? Isn't there a way to do it with my yahoo briefcase?

By the way, I noticed that you live in Houston (so do I). What trail was this on? I might want to go there if I could get a location from ya.

This was at Jack Brooks Park in Hitchcock. If you've never been, you can probably ride for 3-4 hours without hitting the same trail twice. There are about 4 or 5 five bridges (one floating one) and 4 teeter-totters. There aren't many jumps, but there are plenty of hills and roots to hurt yourself on. :)

This video is on the main trail called The Autobahn. It runs for probably hafl a mile or so and crosses most of the trails. Its covered with tons of sharp pebbles that allow you to really go fast. I was just holding the camera in one hand and dodging the tree branches as best as I could. I almost eat it towards the end on some roots just after the foot bridge.

In all my years of living and riding in the socalled "greater Houston area" I have never rode at Jack Brooks. I pass by it everytime I head to my beach shack in Sargent.... I've heard the its a good ride, but how are those mosquitos?

Don't worry about the mosquitoes, its the spiders that will carry you away. I think they are called banana spiders (black and yellow). They are pretty scary lookin, I don't know if they bite or not. I probably rode through at least 10 webs yesterday in 1 hour.
