Can't blame ya - when I've watched those videos it seems like physics is being taunted or something.
Btw is it usually that dry? I pictured more mud up in the PNW cx scene.

My buddy just fractured his hip in 3 places a couple of weeks ago while practicing bunny hopping barriers in his driveway. Needless to say, his very pregnant wife is not very happy with him at the moment. I have a feeling he'll be dismounting more next season.

I feel like practicing a skill where you're probably going to fall over a bunch should be done on a squishier surface, like grass or a ball pit full of small children.

ugh. this year i've been very conservative in my cross dismounts...often dismounting a bit early and taking a few extra steps. i'm close enough to the end of the season that i can smell it, and not having to do a recovery from surgery during the off-season is worth more than losing a couple of seconds every time (as much as it pains me to say it).

New crit series began tonight; every other Tuesday until New Years. Too bad I'm moving back across the state to the land of retirees and zero races. I was lucky enough to get the wife to come along tonight, so I could get this photo. Finally have proof that I'm racing.

compare and contrast to skeletor wearing a black condom
the 'baby bump' is worth 100W though.
@Hermes - nice to meet you!

@scheibo. It was a pleasure meeting you as well. Glad you are doing the LKHC series.

@scheibo is going to crush if he races enough to take advantage of my coaching. I need someone to live vicariously through for a few years here. Eat up and recover!

With cyclocross even a cropped image looks cool! Here I am about to take out the netting - this might be right before I launched myself...

And here's a CX photo of my own, from a couple weeks back. I am slipping backwards and the suffering is oh so real. Photo by Jarvis Lee.
