I don't know how much hiking she'd want to do with your son, but she could go across the street to Reservoir #6 and hike up to Heublein Tower on Talcott mountain if she wanted. That's a fun little hike.

Look how far forward you are in that first one. No wonder you wrecked. :lol: Good on ya for trying though. I sure as hell wouldn't have on my first day on the bike. You have the sack necessary for MTBing that's for sure....

After reviewing the video a little closer Chris probably would of landed that if he didn't have that gaper come out of nowhere riding up the trail causing him to scrub all his speed.:-D

Was a picture perfect fall though!

Indeed. Almost artistic in execution.

Absolutely. Do what you want with them and certainly don't feel obligated to use one...

I am surprised no one remembered to make note that Grassi was sporting a kick stand on his bike for the ride last night.

But then again if you look close at the video some tool still has reflectors on his bike:oops:

:lol: I forgot about the kick stand, though it did come in handy as I attempted to fix the break away steering mid ride...

Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that backwards mounted tire is what caused Chris to wreck.

We already point one finger at that guy for taking the line, now we find out he tried to sabotage the bike too.:-o

Communication breakdown. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
