  1. its all good. dont worry Austin mountain biking community - its being handled. by me..... there will be nothing of this sort happening at BCGB/HOL thanks and you're welcome 🙂 now go checkout my new post of me riding Portal Trail in Moab! that shit was nuts!
  2. I just texted his mom also. stay tuned maybe him getting his little ass whipped by his mama will end up on YouTube LOL
  3. EVERYONE - so this is NOT HAPPENING and is NOT REAL or SANCTIONED by PARD. do not sign up for this. I just kicked a 15 year old kid named Rhett off of Victory Racing Team for this and apparently his is ACTUALLY trying to make it happen. so just to clear the air this is NOT associated with my company/team Victory Racing in any way whatsoever. but the kid pursuing this used to and no longer wears a VRT jersey im glad I saw this. it will be handled appropriately ********** the story for anyone who would like to read it - Rhett (formerly one of our grom 15yr old racers on VRT) messaged me with a big excited message around 2 weeks about how Victory Racing should have a DH race at the HOL, and that he had *already* gotten approval from PARD via email. I replied "that sounds amazing but I want to forward that email conversation with you and PARD before actually planning anything." days go by and I never received that email forward. I asked him where it was and then he reveals that he had merely sent a single email about it and assumed the response would be quick and likely an approval 🤣 (LMFAO GTFOH) I explained its not gonna likely happen, end of conversation then yesterday I see on his instagram story that he is gonna hold a bandit DH race at HOL 2/28. I promptly had a messenger conversation with him about why he can not and will not do this. and formally removed him from Victory Racing Team for a combination of reasons. This being a big one. and now I log in here after not being on the boards for a long while and see this post very first thing. LOL this stuff writes itself I swear haha
  4. welcome to aliexpress.com my friend. it will take about 3-4 weeks to get your stuff, but the money savings are phenomenal. im really hard on clothes and bikes alike. while I love nice name brand stuff, I will intentionally go cheap on stuff I know is going to get destroyed. and they also have some very impressive (you really cant tell the difference mostly) name-brand knockoffs (TLD, etc) shorts for like $17-$25 (vs $60-$130) https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20201026044405&SearchText=mountain+biking+shorts hope that helps you bro
  5. you just need a normal ole 135mm x 9mm QR 29" rear wheel? let me look. cant remember if I gave them all away or not, but if I still have one its yours
  6. haha dude scary as F! id much rather it be a cat than a bear though that for damn sure! you have a much better chance of survival and could probably overpower an animal that size but would still get F'd up!
  7. Look atcha boi!! It aired on spectrum news last Friday. I didn’t get to see it until now. Pretty cool 🙂 https://spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/austin/news/2020/10/05/mountain-biker-hopes-to-elevate-sport-across-texas?cid=share_clip
  8. my intense primer (long shocked at 140/140) has been fantastic guerrilla gravity trail pistol would also be a great choice!
  9. Just something I slapped together yesterday. so much footage, so little time in the edit. let the good times roll! enjoy 🙂

  12. ***Fixed - didnt realize it posted without the link to the video*** Gopro POV preview of stages 6, 7, 5, & 1 (4 of 8 ) of the 2020 Shred Eagle Enduro event presented by Victory Racing at Camp Eagle in RockSprings, TX on September 5th & 6th! I had a super hard crash on stage 5 that ended my day. broke my helmet, smashed my iPhone, broke wolf tooth remote lever, and for a moment thought I may had broken/injured BOTH collarbones and my neck. I went and got X-rays that evening and nothing is broken, and I'm already feeling much better sign up or come spectate! Camp. Eagle is one of the nicest venues that welcomes mountain biking in the entire state IMO. tons of amenities, lodging, food, beautiful swimming in perfect clear water, zip lining, and some of the most badass gnarly texas terrain ive had the pleasure of building trails on so far. bikereg.com/shredeagle https://www.facebook.com/events/881280645691790
  13. their online rating has gone from a high 4 to a 1.8 since they made this decision. the people have spoken. LOL
  14. lmao exactly. of course you dont. im really laughing pretty hard right now. hahaha . that was funny
  15. lol I wonder who they will call once one of these tent-castle bums or someone else breaks into their shop and jacks a bunch of bikes.
  16. just wow, fired up Facebook this morning when I got onto the computer for work and saw this. How stupid can people (and apparently business owners) be? quoted from screenshot - "For the past eight years I have had then fortune of buying and purchase equipment for the Down Town Area Command (DTAC) Bike Patrol and our Bicycle Public Order Team. We have 158 bike officers in DTAC and have been purchasing our bikes from Mellow Johnny’s Bike store in downtown Austin, a local business. Today I received a call the sales manager I have worked with for years at MJ’S, he informed me that they have three employees who work for them that are complaining about providing bikes to the police department in this time of social unrest in protest and disturbances. They stated to ownership that they did not like the fact that we use bicycles to help us manage crowds and crowd movement. The ownership of MJ’S has decided to listen to three employees and is sending APD an email canceling the four years left on the contract because three employees do not like police officers and did not like us in the store. I am not going to put the dollar amount out there of the contract but we at APD we’re a great customer and bought 50 TREK police bikes a year from them, you can do the math on the bike at TREK.com but you will be short of the actuate dollar amount because of add ons. So now a owner of a business choose to use loose one of his biggest contracts and listens to three hourly employees, they were not management. The employees I always talked too at MJ’S were great and we never had a problem so I don’t know why MJ’S choose this path to go down. If anyone knows of a bike store that would like to serve the police I would love to talk to them about doing our next APD contract."
