Am i the only one that is humbled by the fact im sitting at a computer, in Australia, posting on a forum...........while some dude I haven't had the pleasure of meeting, in Carolina or some shi7, sits on the same site, posting?

The internet rocks hard and so does highrevs' photography.

highrevs 05-26-08 06:46 AM

yep, i'm still coming to 26 west this weekend and I'm still one of the small time hacks myself... the only thing that's different is i get to go out west for a pretty cool trip. With any luck i'll get to meet my photo hero (sterling lorence) in october.

The trails are primarily mulched paths. This one time I almost rode into a puddle, it was scary!

mtnbiker66 05-28-08 03:40 AM

You still gonna make it this weekend?

cryptid01 05-28-08 08:15 AM

Yep, I'm a little busted up but I'll be there.

mtnbiker66 05-28-08 01:26 PM

Sweet, I just read Butch's post on RM and it sounds like its gonna be a fun place. I have lost your # please email it to me.

mtnbiker66 05-28-08 04:45 PM

I picked up a Fox Transition DJ helmet. I was gonna get a FF but I will use the DJ helmet a lot more and it should do fine for my kind of riding.

Santiago, I would argue the point if it wasn't so funny and accurate. Thanks.

Booooooohoooooooo!!!!!! The new bike park had to push the grand opening back 2 weeks. I guess I'll just wait to lace up my gnarboots.

All the hip gnarboots use a ratchet system.

It's early and I heading out to 26 west. I spoke to Ryan last night and he is in need of a carpenter to build his freeride stunts so I'll be working all day.
