    fresh dirt

    digging has finally begun on the east coast. we cut a new entrance to the first jump on the trails maing it less of a hip and more of a big fast booter. lots more digging to be done.

    howie

    the bike weighs in a hair over 25 pounds. im running a 12 tooth cog. yeah i noticed that as well, the chain is just barely clearing the cassett spacers a fraction more and it would rub.
