Everybody just back up and delete all this stuff. Me and Joey e-talked. Bottom line per Joey is I'll see you all Sunday. Now to prevent any other bad blood between you guys spilling ...delete the arguments and we'll pretend Chris Kring and company are coming to town and we're all not gonna get a scratch on us this weekend and all our bikes will perform flawlessly. :grin:

No excuse...

As I hear it TURBOLVR (aka Karl) has been told not to ride and that he might even need surgery for a ganked up knee. Yet he is on his way.... :cupidarrow:

They make drugs and alcohol for a reason other than making meth mouth skanks look attractive. :banana:








;)
Karl is just a better man than I no question about that. And again I am reaffirmed of my less than manly status.:bonk:

Franzie Exotica is also coming to Rock from ManBurg, Germany -
he is most anxious to have good times. Here he is last
night getting much needed rest for weekend activities.

Edited:

These bickering threads are stupid.

I hope Joey can see past his frustration enough to bury the hatchet with anyone who wants to make peace.
how do you figure i'm frustrated ?
over the past six years i've been allowed to build the trails of my dreams.
i couldn't be happier.
it's the jealosy from outside the d.h community and "his" frustration that has led to all this.
just because i don't deem him worthy of answering his questions about what i've contributed to the cycling scene here in knoxville.

his opinions, attacks, comments and other attempts to bolster his image in the local community by his use of them, mean nothing to me.
i liken it to mark foley, howling at the moon in front of the congressional pages dorm rooms.

he has zero undestanding of anything that goes on up here.
this place is more of a handfull than what even most locals know.
dealing with the local a.t.v. club is a pure joy.
gas well drilling.
commercial logging.
hunters.
motorized trail poaching.
rider safety from speeding ohv riders on the paved road.
these are the real world issues that have to be dealt with constantly.
not to mention all the trail work that is constantly needed, whether you feel like it or not.
or whether you have time for it or not.

and those that know me, know i have no problem stating my case and dealing with any of the above.
man to man.
face to face.
unlike others in the on-line world.

and i do have every right to control who has access to these trails.
i've earned that authority.
over and over again.
and i don't have to justify that with anyone.

and doug is 100% correct when he says that i don't care about all the surrounding bunk. or the local cycling community.
they've got their own thing going.

right now i'm so focused on getting in there this winter and creating more and better trails than we have to date.
it's looking like i'm going to have a very small group of hardcore builders in there with me this year.
mark ziska.
terry jeffers.
ben ramsbottom ?
doug ferguson.
and i hope,
mark webb and brian poston continue their major contribution.

i'll be sitting in our parking lot this weekend just soaking up all the stoke that is a by product of what we've been able to create.
and that's anything but frustrating.

good meeting you brother. good times!

I got sooo lucky in waterfall. I was following Mark down and he popped this shelf rock up right in the center of the trail that just stopped my wheel cold. I launched the bars and tackled the big boulder at the top with my chest protector and hands. My jaw is sore from grunting like a prize fighter. I pigged so loud Mark stopped as soon as he crossed the creek to make sure I was OK.

Granted that was nothing compared to Matt coming off bulkhead and ripping through that girl and her bike and sending her helmet flying and both of them to the ground!!!:shocked:

But damn...too fun...other than the Gorillaz in the "dust" about a third of the way down Windmill on that second run...sketchy...:happydance:

had I wanted to go left into the briar thickets blindly as he did, I'm confident I'd have gotten him before too long...but I chose the more sane route and the pallet drop.:cheers:

by the by...how's your knee???
I'll find out in 40 minutes. But I'm hoping that doing a few runs at WR yesterday helped to motivate it into full recovery.

You had the greatest propensity for wrecking right in front of me this weekend. See if I follow you next time ;)

One thing we have all learned over the years is to never follow Butch... He will even say that. He will ether throw very big rocks up at you or will lead you right to the hardest part of the trail!!!!!

I love following Terry. He always has the coolest trail linkage. He thought up Snakerock to 14 to Twisted. Good stuff.

you'll be 45 minutes from the gates of Pisgah foo...!
This is a good point, well a little longer from our house, but still easily doable.

There also Paris Mtn. for a quick run, but yet I have still made it out there (how sad is that, and I call myself a bicyclist) or Isaqueenia, it's only a 20 ride from the house.

We could hit Deer Lick, or whatever it's called. I would like to get in some high speed runs, I'm far too out of shape right now to be trying to keep up with you youngsters climbing.
