You know what ticks me off? Girlscout hasn't been on a bike since the forum ride last fall. We get on caney bottom and he drops me. They cut in some new water breaks that were kinda funky and he was just flowing over them and then he was gone...........I hate groms.

He's OK, but thats not the point. You young guys can just pick things back up so easy. It gets a little harder whan you're old.

Banshee Rune, nice. The Aussie Banshee importer, XXIV had a bangin' Rune that they built up as somewhat of a demo bike, and the personal bike of the owner, Ken. Then it got stolen en route to the AMB office.


Yeah, thats the bike that was stolen, im pretty sure it was.

Oh and we groms only have the illusion of skillz. Or atleast i do anyway.
I crash a lot.
Anyway, here's my current desktop:


Thats me doing the pedalling, and how good is the view from where i ride? Off to the left is the best views of the city and 180 degrees behind the photographer is even more great views. Might go take some more photos later.

Feel free everyone to post yours up, maybe someone else might like it. I know im in need of a new MTB related wallpaper. Gogogo!

Seriously, we have so much fun when we let these threads go on, but Doug has become a real square.

I don't know if you're serious or not, but I'll answer anyway. They're snowshoes.

Have you forgotten your time in Hamilton? Scarves are absolutely required under winter conditions.

PS - I have an appointment to cut my hair next week although I won't cut it as short as the pic in my sig.

Get a balaclava. Dickeys are okay too. Or just grow a beard.

I have a balaclava, but I wear it in warmer weather. Besides, I love my scarves. I have a really nice wool one that I wear with my big boy coat.

Is that the coat where the mittens are attached to a cord through the sleeves?

I'm sure the jury's still out on my moderating skillz; I tend probably to be too laissez-faire about things and chime in when I should be locking or trashing things. Then Smashy has to wade in and restore order. Ah well - - I warned them; they knew what they were getting when they signed me up .

An average skater I suppose given that I consider myself average. I didn't grow up playing hockey like a lot of my friends and didn't take lessons as a kid. Lessons are fantastic though. My daughters are in their first season of lessons and are already showing signs of being better skaters than me. Last year we started them skating by going to outdoor rinks such as these. This year we've seen a huge improvement. I am not exagerating when I write that expect them to be much better than me by the time they are 8.
