Can I get away with keeping it up without crushed balls upon landing or do I stop a few feet from the log to lower the saddle?

Lower the saddle. That's really the best way to deal with that problem. At least until you learn to hop high enough with the saddle where it is when you normally ride.

I'm going to be doing a lot of riding this summer, I quit my job and am going out on my own business wise, but am going to take a few months off to ride and relax.

Wow. Good luck with everything. What will you be doing, business wise?

Something cycling related.

Hmm, Hopes are up for sale, looking to go back to Avid, or maybe Hayes. Something i know my way around, that's easy to get parts for here in Australia and is more reliable than my suckah's.

N2bikeN is down for a week. We took a break from the bikes and hit the water this evening. He did well for his first time with a flyrod.

The couch arrives tomorrow.

I repeat

the couch arrives tomorrow.

mtnbiker66 05-19-08 04:22 AM

Roger that.

BFG 05-19-08 06:25 AM

Oh boy, just you wait til my next thread.

As a culmination of the last 24 hours and events until such a thread, it involves Ebay, theft and going to the Police Station before school wearing makeup.

mtnbiker66 05-19-08 06:05 PM

Is the couch crashable around mid June?

What did you do?

And what caused it?

You bet. Official opening of Wild Turkey trail is the 14th (not that that matters really).

BFG 05-20-08 08:37 AM

Any news on that lift assisted park you were previously jibbing about 66?

xcracer13 05-20-08 03:18 PM

BFG- Found your stolen bike on ebay???

I hope it was Kiss or Alice Cooper makeup, otherwise your TGMBG status may be in jeopardy.

Xcracer13 - I was under the distinct impression I did, last few hours found out I was mistaken, oh well. Better to have looked into it, than to have not bothered IMO.

agstro - It was not KISS makeup, it was for a school musical. I look forward to a ride report of this park, and ProFail, I think you scored an invite if my eyes serve me correctly.

You've caught my attention by confusing me.

I hereby officially extend you an invite to come ride there. It is a public bike park after all.

As much as I'd love to, I don't know if I'll be able to swing it and I don't have a DH bike anyway.

Where is said bike park? Rentals? Anyway, thanks for the invite. I'd love to meet you all. I'll come if I can.

ProFail 05-22-08 07:24 PM

Yeah, my parents are doing something on the 31st, I think it's their anniversary.

I can't argue with that; they deserve some relaxation. Anyway, you guys have a good time.
