Hello everyone,

My name is Kurt and I'm the Southern California rep for Rocky Mountain Bicycles. This post has been a long time coming, but here it is. I love to ride just as much as the rest of you, and so does my wife and dog. But ever since taking this this job my riding time is less and less ironically. I like the positive vibe of this message board unlike some other ones........... and don't worry I won't try to push bikes on everyone, but I'am understanably biased. Hope to see you all at events or on the trail and always come by to say hi. I won't bite, but my dog might.

Ummmm.....

Smart dog.

Thanks for not pushing the sales pitch. Does this mean that STR members get a discount on RM bikes?

Fired Yo Momma

welcome

Rob

Welcome Kurt!

You should come to the BBQ on Sunday(See trailhead forum)

Hopefully next Big Bear demo I won't taco another rim on one of the demos! LOL

I was up at Post Canyon in Oregon (lots of Rocky Mountain bikes, BTW), there was a very impressive dog with it's owner. The owner would sprint to jump some small doubles before launching off a huge ramp (8' tall and the gap was 12+", I'd guess). The dog would speed jump the doubles - his body never went any higher, but he just sucked up his legs. The dog went over the doubles and alongside the bike jump (ran over the landing mountain) as fast as the owner. I wish I would have taken a video - it was so impressive. Not to mention that the rider was freakin' incredible, too.

Anyhow, welcome!

Welcome, Glad you can join in. I ride a Rocky Mtn. It's not my primary ride though. I also have a Tomac F/S XC, and a Giant XTC SS. The Rocky Mtn. is my H/T XC event bike. I had it powder coated and RM sent me the frame decals.

WELCOME...I came so close to getting the Slayer 50 recently...nice bike!! I ride Marshall Cyn. a few times a week and see a guy riding with a small dog in his backpack?? You maybe ? You've got to post a photo of this canine biker.
See ya on the trails...

1. Don't ever let ShinKen set the pace on a ride. You will die
2. CeeDub is a sandbagger, don't make any "friendly bets" with him before a ride.
3. LBMTB commonly tells people to "Stay thirsty, my friends." He means beer.
4. You get five points if you can guess what brand of bikes the following people ride: TurnerRob, ChumbaJason, TitusChick, TurnerWhore
5. When FoShizzle says "You're Ghey", take it as a compliment.
6. MTBer3737 is the oldest mountain biker in the world. He is also faster than you or me.
7. Report to CC for "kickstand inspection" at the first ride you attend.
8. Report to SheClimbs after you get your kickstand inspection, for a "rearend and final drive inspection". Pray she doesn't give you "the shocker"
9. STR is way better than MTBR or Ridemonkey
10. Support JensonUSA and Adrenaline Bike Shop since they provide financial support for STR
11. Don't be stingy with the "thanks" button, it is free to use
12. No matter what your personal feelings or exeriences are, don't ever tell Dino Brown that Iron Horse bikes suck.
13. Don't ever challenge Guero to a drinking competition, you will lose.
14. FiredYoMomma, however, is a lightweight. I've seen girl scouts and Mormans drink him under the table.
15. Don't ever expect Integradriv3r to wake up in time for a ride, you will be waiting for a long time.
16. The only reason why Ladd Jasper is so nice is because he pitys the slow
17. Don't try to have more posts than TKblazer. It is impossible.
18. If I am ever on a ride with you, expect to hear a lot of cursing followed by crashing noises. Call 911 when this happens.
19. 2WheelLee can do a one-handed wheelie up hill you or I would walk up. You will learn to hate him as much as I do.
20. AndyakaRut and Genusmtnbiker are the official STR ambassadors to every bike race available.
21. If you can catch Sauce, you get to kiss her. (Don't bother trying)
22. *Fill in the blank: I don't always drink beer, but when I do I drink _____________.*
23. *If I can see the coins in your pocket, you had better use them to call a tailor.*
24. 53,482: The number of bikes Rob will have to work on to pay off his bike parts and hot wing debts
25: 15.31: Number of seconds, on average, that a post by GabrielZink stays on the forum before it is deleted
26: JordansRealm has a better job than you, or me, or anyone that doesn't work at the playboy mansion.
27: LetyRides does roller derby. She is tougher than you.
28: Don't compare tattoos with JSims or QueenWilhemina. You will lose.
29: ~Pakiha~ is a good guy. I can't find anything to make fun of him for. (dammit)
30. PainFreak thinks his moustache make him look manly.
31. Don't talk to Gurp13 about dogs.
32. For that matter, don't talk to Shudder about chopped Harley-Davidsons either
33. Dstepper makes the tough choices look easy: "Hmm I broke my Turner 5-spot frame, so should I get another 5-spot frame, a Turner RFX or a Niner RIP9? Eh, I'll get all of them and sort it out later."
34. Avoid hucking contests with CalEpic
35. Report all Steven Jackson sightings immediately. You'll know him when you see him
36. Mechmann and Allison don't really have jobs, all they do is go on bike trips
37. Carbonman and Shugamama ride the same trails as everyone else. But they do it on a tandem, pulling a trailer (seriously)
38. If you use words like cheers, bloody good, smashing, footy, tuppence, wot wot, guv'nor, or have ever said "God save the Queen" and meant it, then you will get along great with KeithB, Lefty Kev and Lazy Brit

*Stolen from "The most interesting man in the world" but very true

Thanks for the welcome and kind words everyone! Nice ride genius! Jason, Big Bear was fun. I looking forward to the trip at the end of the month. Should be good times had by all! I just got back from Mammoth so I'm jonesing (sp?) for somemore lift assisted riding. Sharky, wasn't me. He's about 50 lbs and that would SSUUCCKK for climbing.

No dog specific bike yet.... but everytime he hears a freewheel in the house he freaks out and wants me to take him (along) for ride. He does well, he made it all the way up and down Maple Springs a few months back, I only had to wait for him the last mile or so, paws were tired. I wish there were more places in OC and SD that were dog friendly so he could come for more rides. There are a few trails by my house in Carlsbad that are great for that.

Anyhow, welcome!

12 inches that's it? I think I can bunny hop that,

Anyhow, Welcome RMB. We're actually thinking of getting a Slayer SXC for SlowSpokes. She's in the market for a bigger bike.
