Yeah, not the most optimal of conditions, but pretty. And I can hone my skills riding in it. I found the perfect place to practice trackstands/skidding, etc: the practice football field. Once the snow melts, I'm there.

do it in the snow. no one will drive there (will they?), and the snow will be slick for skidding and just...yeah. be fun.

extra points if you're riding really fast behind something waste high so they don't see the bike at first.

never said i was tough, that was you. and why thank you, maybe you didnt get my arogance from the title of (im just better than you). but you said the booze would soften the blow, which implies that you advocate alcohol comsomption so if some one were to get hurt the pain would be less. if you ride smart and ride within your abilties, with a clear head, the chances of you getting hurt are slim too none.

take responcibilty for your action and words(that goes to everyone)

are you drunk? you're typing like you are and apparently reading like it too. i never stated that i advocated alcohol consumption. i made an observation that a wreck would hurt more if you were sober than if you were drunk. does that mean i'm promoting drinking? no. don't put words in my mouth and assume that you know more about me than you do.

why do so many xstraightxedgex kids annoy people...

ohhhh, that's right.

yeah, i like do the running in slo-mo thing too... it's such an obvious gag, but it's such a good one it doesn't matter. i tend to ride no hands a lot, and my buddy always makes fun of me b/c i swing my shoulders back and forth and it looks like i'm groooovin'

hee hee.

1) evan: i was always more of a reversal of man kind of straightedge kid than i was earth crisis.

2) straightedge came around one night, push came to shove, and we were down to fight...

3) i feel like suddenly this message board became salt lake city circa 1997.

4) tonight i spent my last $5 (well, the last paper money i had, as the lq doesn't take plastic) on 24 oz. of sierra nevada pale ale, which, in case it needs to be pointed out, is punk as fXXXk.

5) that's clever, how i used the X's in the swear up there.

no drink riding stories from me, since the journey home takes me past a permanent friday/saturday night RBT, and riders get down for drink riding. I dont want a fine/lose my license. But thats just me

i had a 40oz of "country club" before the ride home. no "energy enhancers" like saccharine sparks nor the flavor of a saporro. tough back nine though.
