Pics are in a camera westbound on Interstate 40 at this time. 66 humiliated me on my own trails, I am so ashamed. I think Girlscout really enjoyed pounding out 25 mile XC rides on his new stanky.

Gastro, I wanted to come but 66 said that I suck at riding and could not attend due to lack of skill. I am relagated to Dupont and a few easy trails in Pisgah until my skills improve. I hate I missed it. 66 is such a buzz kill.

But keep working hambone40. After years of total dedication and commitment one day you may be able to get close enough to the great 66 to taste his dust. You should not have allowed him to get a hardtail.

I can assure you there was lack of skill in copious amounts. You know how we do.

Have you seen him ride the orange bike while rocking the matching orange shirt? Dude looks like a lady. Girlscout refuses to ride with him now. I think that is the whole reason girlscout bought the stinky.

I'm home from G-boro. I found out what stinks and that would be my dirt jumping skills. We had an awesome time hanging out and riding with the crew.The trails are really good trails and thay did a great job making use of limited land. Super fun to ride(if you're not on a 44 pound 7" bike).Gastro was good enough to put up with us for a couple of days and made every thing super fun. There was a lot of XBox MX going down and even some bottle boarding.
We rode the new Wild Turkey trail and we hit Owls Roost along with some othe fun stuff.The cool thing about Gastro's trails are we just rode from his house. It's the first trip I have made to ride where there are not mountains and I really have a better appreciation for how lucky we are to live in such a rich mtnbiking area.
Now to the Stinky. We arrived at the super cool bikeshop/three ring circus known as ReCycles.........
Heded to Gastro's place to do a drive way test......
The Garage Door Pic.......
Girlscout gave it all he could there but he'll really get to dial it at 26 west in a week or two......
The girlscout also snagged a sweet little diddy thatwe are in the process of building up now. Anyone need an Enduro frame?
I'll respond to Hambone in another post. Right now I just want to thank Gastro for a super fun weekend of riding and chillin'chillin'. I'll be back down that way before too long.

Girlscout looks pumped! Did ya snap the headtube off the orange bike? I read all the time that it happens when you install a longer travel fork.

No not yet. I'm having this huge mental block when it comes to dirt jumps. That's what I got knocked out/banged up on earlier this year, so I really hacked it up at the zone on Saturday. I beat on the bike pretty hard(hack landings) and the head tube is still on there.

The stinky's look like great value for money, maybe not so the shock, but the rest looks pretty decent.
Nice.
