    Chewy would be definitely Kenny :lol:

    Got a call from Karl at the Path, they are gonna order me the current model Rogue Seatstays from Ellsworth. Apparently they made them burlier than the older ones (what they have in stock at the Path) so that should be better for my riding style.

    and the pot calls the kettle black...

    when did you crash phil? I must've missed that (maybe when I decided I felt like pinning it down on the last run, and wondering for 5 minutes at the bottom where everyone went)

    9 times out of 10 I am behind DHP when he crashes. It's gotten to the point where I just laugh now. At first I would be all "DOOD! Are you ok?!?!" Now I just roll on by and laugh. ;)

    What is a day of riding where DHP doesn't bite it? It isn't a complete day! He either breaks his bike or his body, one of the two or both. Count on it like Guitar Center will have a sale this weekend and the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

    MUDMAN ANGRY!!! *RAGE*

    This is not far from the truth. Although I have gone a few rides without breaking ANYTHING.. they are few and far between.

    Umm it was our 2nd or 3rd run down the middle line. I hucked off the drop and landed too far left to make it back onto the track. It was one of the more fun falls I've had =P Brandon summed it up perfectly below.

    I got up and laughed and threw a thumbs up then BFLO rode right by me#-o

    some us don't have to have a requisite fall on stairsteps. makes easier to not have to tuck and roll.

    if it should happen, it would depend on where on the trail you were. up top, ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch. down at the bottom, :?: not so bad

    edit: how many times can I take you up on that offer? I still need a new boxxer...:lol:

    I might go to Performance and pick up some parts to get my DJ up and running again in which case I'll probably be doing Kenter on Sunday. Saturday gonna get new tires on my 350z and ideally pick up my Ells from teh Path

    Edit: David, I am sure that BFLO will be out there riding.

    Anyone going to be hitting up the Claremont local goods this weekend? For a variety of reasons I haven't ridden in a long time, and need to change that.

    I could do kenter if I can get a ride/carpool buddies. I could also do something up in brandon's territory too. I'll probably do a ride with my dad sometime over the weekend too. how many days long is the weekend again? :-k
