Call me a loser but
I've been using this CamelBak type thing for the last few days when i go riding. It's great. No need to pay for water, which by the way is too expensive consider how much of the earth it takes up. And the puch it has is just big enough for my camera (when i get it fixed) and one or two small tools. I may look like a weird MTB rider on a dwarf size bike but function over fashion.
I've also started digging at a new trail spot. Well actually, the spot is old, but the line was wasted and only had 2 jumps, so i'm fixing it up and going longer. It's got great clay, trees, rollers, and best of all NO pedaling. All you gotta do to start is hop on your pedals and hit a few rollers. Pictures soon.
That is all.

Also went out to the racetrack for a bit. I'm pretty bad, but it's fun.

Camelbacs are great for most things requiring water. They look a little weird but there isn't anything better than them for XC or if you want to do something where you don't want anything gettin in your way.

And the racetrack is the way to go. I was at my local track tonight for a race and my tires washed out in the first moto. I ended up qualifying for the main anyhow, and I got third.

hmmmm...... there is a lot right around the corner from my house. I might be able to get the crew to help make some trails. But there will be no shade... and 110 in the shade!

Here is a random picture of the big set at the trails i'm digging at now, the line pretty wasted now, but when it was running it was crazy to watch people ride it. Of course i never hit it considering it's about a 35 foot jump and 6 feet tall. Picture does no justice.
