For all those roadies who suggest harleys......I don't need a harley soft-tail :D

Dude, you are putting that Kona through the paces. If I may ask, What has your progress been since you started riding?

Umm I went from riding 500 feet and stopping to putting in 19 miles and some campus riding today, last week I put in 30 miles. Average speed was 10mph with those huge tires and the dicking around on campus...until I got to campus average was 11.2

Way to go! Have you lost some weight along the way?

Maybe if he keeps it up Kona will be inspired to comp him a new bike for all the free press. Not likely, but they should.

No joke! A free bike would be nice...or anything that companies want to press towards "big riders" I've lost some weight...I'm fitting snuggly into shorts that I coudln't button last summer :D

Good to see you riding. And down stairs, cool. I might mention that Alt + Enter made me think about jumping out of the way on that stair video. :eek:

My stupid computer can't play the videos.

Damn you realplayer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, from the one pic it looks like you had fun:)

Dude
I think you got it goin on.you can outride me and my wife and my daughter put together.I hope by the end of summer to catch up.
I do think you would be a great spokesman for the hoss deluxe.they should cut ya a new bike.I vote for that.any one else?

Hmm maybe I should contact them showing the attention and get...and hell maybe even enter in a race...even though I wouldn't win the performance of the bike would show through

we should save that video and use it everytime someone asks" whats a good bike for a fatguy? will it hold up?"(remember i'm a fatguy too!!)

If I was in the market for a new bike,that would definatly say something for the Kona

I think you should do it and get a video to show to Kona etc. Even if it's just some single track riding.

You might want to contact the tire makers the rim makers, the spoke makers etc. too. I would guess that Jarid from Subway did his own thing first for himself, and then became a regular in all those ads.

That's alot of folks to contact...I need to get more into a scene...i.e. trail rides with groups or what not so I can basically get some publicity if I was gonna do something like that, but hell...I might start taking more videos and sending it out to them and see if they wanna cut me a break on some stuff...on another note I got new stuff...new thread time!

Yes I agree it's a lot. I was thinking just take a good video,burn some CD's mail them out and see what happens.

I need to get a video camera first off...this whole digicam w/o sound isn't working real well :p

subway commercial jingle from a few years ago that will never leave my head

must be before my time...I've been enjoying subway regularly now for about 7 years and never heard that.

Cool to see you ridding, keep it up.

Links to video and pictures are down, did you move em?

I think your probably the only big fella as crazy as I am. I rode my huffy (DON'T LAUGH DAMMIT) down some stairs when I was your weight and didn't break anything (bike or me) but it was like once. Just to know I did it. But never again. Not until they put shock absorbers in shoes. Hehehe.

Post the new links when you get em.

The links work...you might wanna try em a few times, I think I'm getting too many hits on my site and it's buggin'...but they are valid links. I just tried one.

it may be a regional thing. he was /is a firefighter in indianapolis at the time.I was living withing the broadcast areas of the Indy tv stations
so much for his fifteen minutes of fame!

Damn you, Spanky. Before you brought that up I had forgotten about it. Now I will be thinking "Henry, Clay Henry" all day long.

My $350 HP digicam takes a two minute video with sound. I thought most of them had sound ?

(as nelson from the simpsons) Ha-ha :D
