Jammer. Just before Satellite going E-W.

Nice! Had that one a while back.

Check out a powder coat shop.

That was funny. Here's another good one.

When I lived on Long Island we had a guy that had a military collection/museum out on the east end. You were able to buy tickets to check out everything he had which was a lot. Some schmuck moved in next door to the museum and started complaining to the town about the tank museum and eventually forced the guy to move. The collection is now part of AAF Tank museum in VA. https://www.aaftankmuseum.com/about https://www.nytimes.com/1995/12/03/nyregion/long-island-journal-079626.html

I've had this album on rotation. Really good. This song sounds a bit like if you crossed Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.

The wooden features on Tarantula at Spider mountain are a good way to get used to wooden features. You can carry enough speed to easily roll through most of them. Skinnies are a different story though.

I agree. I've gotten a bit bored with a bunch of work for too little reward that 1/4 and DD come with, not to mention the potential for injury. SN is fun because you can maintain speed easier than on the other local trails around here. Don't get me wrong I still like to ride 1/4 and DD just not as much as I used to. Is Gandolf the line on the ridge near Katy lane?

Most of my worst crashes have been at timid speed (slow). Carrying momentum through sections of trail that intimidate you is usually the better choice.

I don't know if it was Firstblood but I do remember someone on Mojo saying they went off the side of the rock roll and wound up in the creek. No real injuries. Someone also went off the edge at the beginning of Mulligan.

That sucks. He had health issues for years.

Bobby ran into some dependency issues. Not sure what happened to him. I know Nelo was trying to help him but I don't think it worked out that great. Nelo still wrenches, he went mobile. His website is still up for the mobile business. Brendan Sharpe who was at Nelo's was a good wrench too.

Dave did a bike fit for me too. He helped me finally get my saddle position right.

For me there comes a point where the gearing gets too low and you just spin like crazy not really covering any distance. I'd prefer a slightly harder gear that helps me cover more distance faster. On road I always turned a bigger gear than most people. I very rarely came off the big ring even a stop light I'd start off in the big ring.

Everything I've done has been catalyzed urethane. That stuff sticks to everything.

If you're spraying anything in your garage you need to move or cover anything you don't want overspray on. I've painted enough stuff in my garage that the door handle now has a textured surface😂 BTW frame looks good. How do you think it will hold up?

2 miles north of Brushy. We got a pretty good soaking here. Yard is wet and soft.

If he can wait a few months there will be plenty of buyers remorse bikes for sale. I'm sure he could get something worth much more than the $1500 he has.

Hamricks? It's funny that Hamricks went the way of the Dodo and the next business in that spot is the same business model? I need to be introduced to whoever funds these businesses. I've got a bridge to sell.

Similar to this. (explict warning)

Beat me to it!

Watched a guy on a 160mm Pivot clean the cradle W-E. He took the right side over the boulders. Made it look ridiculously easy.

And now it's time for the airing of the grievances!

Looking sweet!

Is that a Jackalope skull on the hood😂
