Very nice!

Agreed, thanks Austin!

Here's a short vid of the session you guys did off that small drop:



High res is here.

Thanks Greg. That 'drop' looks a lot more lame in the video. Poor Steve, half the video was his crash over and over...

 

[MR. evil]

Sweet. While I'm at it, is there anything else I should order from the site? Maybe new tires?

New tires would be good

Damn Austin, those pics came out better than I thought.

BTW, that drop was a lot scarier than it looks in the pictures.

Poor Steve, half the video was his crash over and over...

Ever since that epic wipe-out at the Sundown bump comp, it seems like Steve is always up for crashing for the video. Maybe I psyche him out. I love how he ends the video with, "that's all you're getting out of me today." :lol:

No kidding, the videos always make everything look smaller and makes it look like you are going slower too.

Yeah, right. A likely story. I bet I could do it!

 

[Marc]

Sweet, I'll drive an hour fifteen again to watch someone else do that...

But we wouldn't want you to get hurt before your 5K.

I hope you are joking, and that is not what you really told them? If so call them up and tell them to fix the front and rear ders, and give the bike a once over to see what else is wrong. Then have them call you before they fix anything else for your approval.

Is anyone up for a ride next Sunday? If so where?

The amount of repairs today were just silly today. I have never been on a ride when that many thing went wrong with the bikes.

What's really amazing is that johnypoach's bike held up fine....despite crashing through the woods off the trail... :lol:

Nice riding, keep up the videos. You're getting me through the couch surfing I'm doing this summer.

I appreciate that. So I guess that means late Aug/sometime Sept for me to try it? After the 5K, I have a 5 mile race in August.

And I"m honest. I'll try that!
