^^ Haha, never been here before. In fact, we are such non-world-travelers that this is the first time we've been out of US/CA.

Why would you? That's moto country! BRAAP

^^ True that . . . would loved to have been well-supported/-healed enough in my formative years to have done the Baja 500.

Funny, about the only thing I've seen down here have been small-displacement, single-cylinder four-strokes . . . with big milk-crate-like things on the rack for a 'trunk.' One generic MX bike parked in downtown Cabo yesterday and the random big, slobbering Harley with a gringo tourist aboard trying to look cool. Does look like some great explorable mountains out there . . . .

Whaaaat the hell?!

Holy sh¡t . . . pinner run in the mud! Nonchalantly grabs a tear-off at :12 (1:28.3 track time) and goes on to smoke the course. Amazing.

. . . and of course with Rob Warner providing the color . Epic. Thanks, c.

Someone needs to come up with some new words, none of the existing ones do this guy justice!

Hack.

That's kinda like it sounded - more like WHack! It's still holding air (yestubes ftw) so I think I'll just leave it. I'm slightly concerned that bending it back might not make anything better - now it makes a nice spot for my tire lever when mounting tubeless mud spikes, which is sort of a *****.

'burger: re Danny Macaskill video - Good Grief!

Which came first: The Karate Monkey bike, or the Karate Monkey trail at Whistler?

HEY-there is my bike behind that DORK! How did it get there?

Pretty sure the bike came first. Surly introduced the Karate Monkey frame in 2002. I found a trail map of the bike park from 2002 and, wow, it doesn't resemble anything like what there is today. The whole section east of Crabapple - - A-Line, Crabapple Hits, Angry Pirate, Smoke and Mirrors, Karate Monkey, etc. had not even been built, much less Schleyer, Rock City and all the black diamonds.

slack head angles are all the rage

The mtb is 100% sram related product free and the next step is to ditch shimano to the curb.

Out: Avid BB7 Road caliper with an avid lever
In: built from parts hayes mag.

For what I'm using it for, a hayes mag will be just fine.

I wish so badly I could afford to go visit you guys & ride up there. I told John last spring that I was going to try to fly out there for a few days right around now, but it doesn't look as though I can afford it. One day...

There's some fantastic riding a lot closer to you sam

Man this weather as of late sure has been messing up my golf game.

Oh wait, I have no golf game.

EDIT: I've been trying to coordinate a road trip up there with a buddy of mine for a while now, but time/work constraints have prevented anything thus far. I'm thinking about just driving up solo one day when I have a weekend or something & just trying to find someone patient enough to let an amateur tag along for the day. I'm too close not to be taking advantage & I feel guilty for it every time I forget how broke I am.

Pimp that shizzle!

Stop or I'll pogo after you!

Check out pic#2...sag anyone?
