Downhill Did a quick Downhill Run today..

I should be able to do either day OK if I have a little advance notice to get my self together. I have a bunch of shit to do over the weekend, but can schedule it around a ride. Any chance of getting a shuttle together?

 

Do you have a truck?

 

Unfortunately, no. I'm here for school, and don't even have a car, but could maybe borrow a tiny compact if we really needed it to make a shuttle work out.

 

oh tahts right, i forgot.
well we have a car with a rack that fits 2 bikes, and theres 2 of us, so hmm.
We'll plan something, i need to talk to te guy at work. if i get my permit this week i can drive our truck. and we could shuttle :wave:

 

OK, we'll work something out. Can I get your number again? I think you already gave it to me, but I lost it somehow. Mine's 607-220-7704.

 

9Five1-23Five-313Eight

 

That was a fun ride home in Traffic from hell. Dear god brandon, Do you drive in that crap everyday???

 

Brandon doesn't even have a permit dood... hahaha

 

:clap:

 

yes, i drive in taht wednesday and fridays.
it takes anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour and a half to get home.

 

But he has a bike!!!!!


Sorry I had to.





Least I was on two wheels so I made my own lane

 

Brandon, what's the word on this weekend?

 

D, I'm down to ride this Saturday if anything.

 

Lets make something happen. Saturday sounds good.

 

I might be able to do saturday. dunno if there's a kenter trip going on on saturday though. might be sunday. gah I don't know whats going on #-o:lol:

 

you should have seen my crash at steps... first time riding it and i was pinned at the start.. got to the section where it drops down and gets rocky... i went full speed to launch the section and my front tire hit a rock and BOOM i'm flying in the air in full on asian squat! landed on my feet and looked up in time to duck as my reign flew over my head and landed about 20 ft from the top :bang: broke my bash guard, but the bike was fine

 

Power of the Rice my friend.. power of the Rice.

 

saturday is no good for me, but i may be able to work something for sunday.

 

NICE! I'd pay to see that too :bang:

I almost did the same thing my first time down that too. just came pinning it down the first ST section, got to the first drop and had to put on the e-brake to save myself. I don't think the 5" bike would take nicely to hucking drops into rock gardens...

 

You'd be surprised. That drop is no more than 1.5-2 ft I think.

It wasn't too long ago that people were riding 3'' DH bikes that had the geo of todays modern XC bikes. :lol:
My Chuba did it just fine- it sounds like it's going to break, but you'll be okay. :wave:
