I went for an ENDO...Was coming down this singletrack and there was this 2 footer drop,launched myself and landed on my rear wheel,butt when my front wheel slammed down in da MUDD HOLE it stucked in there,it was deeper then I thought it was...
So in super slowmo,my rear went up and over,...me,...I landed head first in da mudd,he,he...(first mud bath of the year

I had some decent riding this weekend, but not as much as I would have liked (too many other things going on). The weather was PERFECT....sunny and around 80 degrees. I had one pretty fun crash....I decided to try a new steep, rock-face downhill. It was not very long, but kinda steep. I didn't realize all the leaves and dirt on the rock were wet, so I locked up my brakes and slid all the way down the trail at a pretty good speed and with no control. I hit a tree and got thrown from the bike onto a soft pile of sticks and leaves. It was pretty cool.

Like we say,if you don't crash,YOU'RE NOT RIDING!!!!!!!
'Tis true. If you don't wreck once in a while, you are not testing your skills enough. Knowing how to fall does help.
OUCH

Okay,so Tank is looking for a bike.
A- Money is a not a problem.
B-Da bike has to be solid enough to uphold his frame of 250 lbs.
C-He rides PAVE PATH mostly.(So no double booing-boing)
D-HE wants a mountain bike,to replace his ride!!!
To me,that sounds like a Steel hardtail,XC.
Lets bring him some suggestions.
BTW,Baboon,when you getting your Switblade?Must be soon...
Going to Baston to get myself a bike...

The Switchblade is "due" in Monday, but I'm not holding my breath.
When you going to Boston???
Sounds to me like Tank can get a very good bike for less than $1000 to serve his needs. How's about a Speeeeecialized Hardrock? Perhaps a Kona Muni-Mula?

Ohhhh...DUH.
I actually bought the bike from a shop close to home. Just a 20 minute drive. The Boston people pissed me off and lost my business.

No sir, I can not wait. I'M HAVING FRICKIN' DREAMS ABOUT IT!
Anyone ride this weekend????
I rode Saturday. I got injured so I could not ride Sunday. I took a nasty tumble on a DH section. I can deal with all the cuts and scrapes I got, but the sore, swollen thumb makes it impossible to grip the handlebar or shift.

Tell me about it! I thought I was gonna die of heat stroke yesterday. I downed about a gallon of liquids and hosed off several times and I was still lightheaded and ready to keel over.
No close encounters with crocs/gators. The closest I've come was when I used to work on a golf course. The gators come in from the Everglades through the drainage pipes and end up in the ponds down here. Once in a while they'll come up in someones yard though. I had a close encounter with a rattlesnake though. It was coiled up on a neighbors porch, and he stepped outside and it nearly bit him.
My current ride is a low end Jamis. My dream ride which I hope to be getting soon is a Santa Cruz Juliana SL
