    If it's still there, i'm sure i'll ride it at some point...and get more than the whole 6" of air i got last year...#-o

    the spot did fine on eveything i threw it down last month, but if i'm going to try some bigger stuff i'll get something like that for a day for sure...

    I'm still looking for someone's carpool, and sharing the accomodation there, any one wants to split the cost with a experienced acupuncturist.

    how about one more space on the floor? still available?
    pm me

    thanks,

    No Rock Creek for us this year. Only bringing the DH bikes and staying on the Mountain for 3 days of lift assisted heaven. ;)

    :?: Head butting Frank? Who knows.

    Here are some possible explanations:

    1. (Most likely) I was too slow in catching up to the group so the photo was taken without me.

    2. Trying to figure out what the heck was wrong with my bike that was preventing me from keeping up with the rest of the group. Yes, I will always blame my bike before admitting to my lack of skills.

    3. I was too deeply entranced in ogling my bike to even notice one was being taken.
