Yeah, I was supposed to go on a ride today with a group and it got canceled due to rain.

What'chya training to be?

not a cage fighter.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

That is beautiful! Synchronized BMX park and skatepark at it's finest!

Looks like the skater got an earful of bar end plug.

Park bikes don't have plugs. They leave them hollow to suck the brains out of their prey.

Tell me what ya think. I had nothing better to do, so I was screwing around with my dad's SLR (I cant remember what lense I was using). Other than rotating the pic, not edited at all (I'm not clear 100% on using photoshop). I took a couple of others, but I'm not sure where I put them. The fat one is not our dog, but we're watching it.

I like the framing of the first one - the way youve captured the head and his (he or she?) trailing torso, or at least it appears that way. Very nice.

She is a crazy fat husky.

My daughter wanted a new Bull Terrier puppy for christmas so we picked it up today. No name yet but trouble might fit well.If she's anything like my bully Sara she'll be into just about everything.

Those dogs look awesome..Love the shape of the head.


So Ive got a very noob question. I usually ride alone so Ive had no witnesses to this embarrassment. I have a lot of trouble getting over big logs that don't have ramps (usually made out of smaller logs) in front of them to help get the rear wheel over with out catching the big ring. Some of these logs are 1-2feet high though.. anyone.. have any suggestions?

The begginng of this youtube video perfectly illustrates my question.. and my experiences with getting over big logs..

1. front wheel up on the log. stop -> brief trackstand ->lurch/lunge the back wheel up and onto the log. while throwing the front out/down off the log. roll on down and off. the idea is to do it quickly enough that you don't nail your ring on the log, obviously.

2. learn to bunny or j-hop over the entire thing.

3. ditch your large ring for a bashring and don't worry about whether you nail it on the log or not.

all three ways, you've got to be smooth with transfering your weight back and forth. jerky/hesitant stuff will mess you up more than anything else. find something that is a size you can do, and work on those to get them smooth/dialed. then go up a few inches. repeat.

my riding style incorporates a hacktastic blend of all three. attempts at the hopping smoothly over thing i usually reserve for less than a foot high, unless feeling particularly smoove at the time.

The the biker get a bar end full of bloody ear a la Tyson v. Holyfield.

much appreciated scrub..

Or get the big ring protector and destroy that damn log.

Would BB7s be better than Deore Hydros?

Trail dog in the making IMO.

^^^^
Last sunday when I was with a group getting footage, one of the guys had a rottweiler. Really nice dog, but it got really mad and would try to eat your tires if you stopped.

Pic of one of my cats. This is what I get for leaving my shoes on the floor.

thought this might not fit as a thread...so here it is...

I might try running BB7's on my 3900 (front)...

What hubs and axle (front) would fit nicely for them? Would it fit my Matrix 550 rims?

Sorry im new to this field...

Depends if you have a disc compatible front hub.

that's why i said What hubs and axle (front) would fit nicely for them?

my hubs aren't disc compatibile...

Sorry, what I meant was be sure you dont already have disc hubs.

ok.
