I'd like to borrow a Burley trailer and someone's toddler. Thanks in advance!

Or at least a goat.

kind of lame that they didn't use a real kid.

Trails are real nice today. Get some Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

17" seat tube 21" top tube, XTR/XT shifting bits and drive train, Mavic 517s laced on LX hubs, Manitou fork, all new cables and housing, new lock-on grips, and new Specialized Body Geometry saddle. Can change pedals to Shimano SPDs if needed.Small brake lever ding in top tube. Bike is tuned and ready to ride. $550

I have both. When can you pick them up?

He could have gone through seven of those things by the time they were done filming. If I was the company that made it, I'm not sure if I'd be running toward or away from this video!

Gotta give the kid carrier some credit for holding up well to the abuse.

That dude is unreal. I kept waiting for the idiot disclaimer "Don't do this at home". I want to see him on a tandem with Chris Akrig or something.

As a guy that knows his hoes, I'd strongly recommend any Rogue product. HB's observations about the flat teeth are accurate.

I rode city park CW on Thursday. man, that sucked! all awkward ass climbing work and felt like zero pay off. no thanks

IMO the three crucial tools needed for most trial building are - McLeod - great versatile tool - digging, light bench cutting, vegetation removal, moves dirt really well - if you have to pick ONE tool - I would definitely say get a Mcleod Large Pick Axe - (5lb, fiberglass handle, not wood) - bench cutting, vegetation removal. breaking up/loosening the packed soil Leaf rake - really really great tool for sifting crap & debris out of dirt, moving dirt, shaping berms, lips, etc. its a finishing tool. makes the trails look really nice and smooth and pretty. I like the leaf rake a ton because you can move or shape dirt on the top without tilling up more dirt underneath what you are scraping. if you're gonna get a leaf rake I suggest a truper or equivalent all-metal rake. even the heavy duty plastic ones break often beyond that - chainsaw and leaf blower are my main power tools I use

Thanks, I'll look for an opportunity to lend a hand. Back before I got married I seemed to have lots of spare time.

When I saw the sign here, my eyes were drawn to the “turn back now”. That in itself would make me stop and read the sign.

I'm 19 miles in at Brushy. New stuff on Peddlers is going to be super fast when it's bedded in!! Seems much more open now. Still have to ride Snail (perhaps twice), picnic to 1/4 Notch bailout, 1/4 notch backwards, Peddlers again, back to car. Rode everything else thus far including all (most?) of Suburban Ninja. Which really wasn't that much fun as it seriously needs to be trimmed. Gumdrop and Picnic could also use that. Crashed on that short section of trail opposite the playground at Champion Park. Not 100 feet into the trail my left pedal hit a tree branch hidden by the grass. Went flying off the bike!! Okay, enough internet, must get back on the bike!!

Now the big machine work is done, it's time for us to wrap up this phase of the project by performing the more detailed trail work the machines couldn't do. We will meet 9:00am Saturday, May 25th at the Brushy Creek Sports Park by the Baseball Fields. When you enter the park from Brushy Creek road turn left at the first stop sign and drive to the end of the parking lot, that's where we will be meeting. After a brief talk, we will split into groups and head out to work on the trail. If you have tools such as loopers, rakes, pickaxes, hand saws, shovels, etc. bring them. Don't forget your gloves, water, and snacks. It would be great to have a big turn out to ensure the trail is in the best possible shape for the race on June 15th.

Just asking cause volunteering for trial building seems like a sore point with you and i was curious why since i dont know who you are. Know i now. With all that experience I'd love for you to come and joins us some time when were building.

Depends on your dirt. In the hill country the best tool is a pick mattock Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

yikes! we're up in Portland Or. right now and the weather is 55 and cloudy with slight chance of rain. Wish I had my MTB about now, but doesn't look like they have much trails downtown Portland. Gotta say, we're not looking forward to returning to Austin weather after this.

I stopped, I read, and I pondered ……. and this is a trail I ride multiple times per week. Great job man! It sends a clear message that I think will have an impact.

I seek and support individuals that exhibit EFFORT, First-Blood does just that. First-Blood, don't waste your time with explanations, people only hear what they want to hear. Ridenfools name is just that, a fool.

I've only ridden Brushy once, and, yes, I did some trail work on that ride. Throet will vouch for me. If you've ever ridden Rocky Hill, you will likely have ridden on trails I created there. Ever ridden Pace Bend? I spent a lot of time helping build out there. Reveille Peak? Many a weekend building the original trails. Slaughter? I helped build, but have never been back to ride them, yet. Bluff Creek Ranch, yep, I've done work out there too. Others may remember more places I've volunteered on trails over the years that I've forgotten. To answer your question, no, I haven't driven the hour-plus from Fayette County to attend any work days at Brushy. Not yet anyway. Some day I might. Just pointing out how that sign leans more toward being a challenge to ass-hats, Some might get it, others might flip it off and go do what they want. But do whatever you feel serves you best. If you like constantly erasing B-lines and all the other complaints I read here, this might be better than nothing, IMHO, as it currently reads, I think that sign will fall short of rendering the desired effect. Maybe I'm mistaken. Time will tell. If your goal is to get other riders who are local and clearly willing to work more involved with organized trail building and maintenance, it might be of benefit to offer them an invite.

MOne of the rules I live by on the trail- always ride your own shit first. Call me captain Guinea pig. A few things went wrong here- firstly my cleats and pedals are worn out and I popped out right off the lip, then the landing was too short/ I was going too fast and overshot the landing and landed to flat, rolled front tire and nose wheelie OTB into the camera man. We we were both completely unscathed! 😆🙏💀 3157876F-B3D3-4103-B638-0DB64487A267.MOV FF82E170-ADAC-47A9-96DC-78BFB34CC6F1.mp4

Even if it was short, this thread ... ROCKS!

I witnessed a yardsale by campus the other day. 2 college kids on 1 scooter going downhill. Quite entertaining while sitting in traffic

I prefer ham jelly. That stuff that's all over those canned hams.

This didn’t start as a sealant vs. tubes battle. The goal was to eliminate sealant AND tubes. Tubes suck and I doubt anyone will win that argument with this group because there is no argument there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A cedar stick and some super glue.

It wood be though if it was made from old bike frames.

I actually prefer CCW, just because the last part is easy, and after being so demoralized from the rest of the trail, I don't feel so defeated. On Moto, I prefer CW.

I particularly enjoy it when I can explain how I have just made a pun when the subtlety evades detection. This time, punning with the words found on the image of the bike frame, "rough" and "jump," specifically. In all other regards the Type-whatever personality I have is on board with seeing such standards adopted, but, that has absolutely nothing to do with the joy of a pun that was delivered, then, explained.

I like that you made sure to take a photo of your bloodied and dirty leg. ..Al

How about this for B-Lines. This trails look like a blast but there are so many splits!
