The article I read about that video was that he was trying to do the most insane stunt or something for a $40k prize from GoPro/RedBull or something.
Personally, I feel the video was a big buildup without much reward. A kicker at the end that launched him up and into the lake would have been more fun to watch. A first person perspective of slamming into a wall of water just didn't do it for me. It's too bad they didn't have a second photo setup capturing slow mo video of him hitting the water.

If it had some side/different views it would have been cooler. It felt lackluster at the end, but still it takes ballz to do that

no matter how much sick editz you did it was still just a guy rolling into a pool.
i like the rich country bumpkins who make slip n slide ramps and use a quad to pull people off of it at like 20mph and fly into a lake. they get like 100ft of air every time

Today I rode to work, and took a bee to the neck in the same exact spot as Monday, no sting this time.
Today I repacked and regreased my first hub ever under the supervision of the owner. Not a mechanic by any means and just helping out around the shop where needed and having a blast.

You need to stop using that floral scent aftershave.

We were about 10 or 11. All the parents would be BBQing and playing cards and laughing at us. Never gave it a second thought. Of course, this was in a time before cars even had seat belts.

Today I got this...
Too bad I'm going whitewater rafting this weekend. Might have to take a couple vacation days next week to build and ride.
Still have to figure out what kind of headset I need.

Today it is 8:38 am and already 77°F with 72% humidity. It will be a sweat fest on the bike riding to work at the bike shop and then the hospital. Highs forecasted in the mid 90's with the heat index in the triple digits.

I'm going to Home Depot or some local nursery later to get two large houseplants. It's going to make the space very nice.
I've been in the same 1br apt since October of 2012. When I first moved in, it looked like some bachelor pad, with tons of bikes and bike stuff lying around in living room. I've since moved them into the bedroom w some vertical storage.
Now it's clean, regularly vacuumed and looking good with some plants, a real piano (just my digi one before), a nice A/V system and some framed paintings and pictures. If you stepped in you would have no idea that I'm a cyclist or a complete degenerate .

Today I turned into Thor and managed to strip the threads on the stem of my SS MTB turned commuter. Pretty sure I forgot to grease that one before I put it in when I swapped the bar. Oops.
