bibs - stop hitting on all the freshmeat! not everyone wants to hear about your assmonkey! :D
Hahahaha!!! His assmonkey lies somewhere halfway down A-Line. :blah:

On topic...I have the same excuse that seand has. Stupid working for a living - if it didn't make it possible for me to buy schwag, I would never work again.

I would have to guess all the standing water will have receded down at the flowpark by now. Sunday was a slightly moist one out there. I wanted to take some pics of the action, but I can't get my camera wet.

Hey.
I'm gonna try to get there as early as possible for me... so thats about noon-ish.
Hopefully I'll make it. I'm supposed to be off, but they called me in. So, worst case scenario, I'll be a day late, and get there on wed.

How'd the meeting go on sunday? I got out there at ~2pm or something like that. I got soaked riding in, and then left after one run. Too much standing water for me, plus, I was the only person there.

Andy, you need to get a job where you work nights. Bike days, work nights. Works pretty well, aside from the whole still having to work thing.
What type of excuse is that gex? shoes!? :nopity:

thats it, Im gonna get both of you back!! This is internet war!! Im not sure what I will do...but it will be funny..so just you wait!!! REVENGE is mine.....naa, Im bored with that idea now..lets go ride instead...damn A.D.D. :D
Hahahaha - it's a deal.:thumb:

I feel like I've posted this about 10X now, but there was no meeting on Sun. There was an XC race as well as the craptastic weather. I'll figure out a better time for the next one. In the meantime, I'm just going to do some brainstorming with the bulk of the riders that are there over the weekend. We need to organize a serious trailday or two.

Hey James,
Wish I could make it out there tomorrow (Wed) but need to let the shoulder heal up a little longer. Remember last tues (feb1), when me and 3 guys hooked up with you? I was the one who took the bail on the large step down and injured my shoulder. I got lucky and did not seperate it. Ended up cracking my helmet though and getting a pretty good lump on my head; it was a hard crash. Gotta get new pedals or put some new pins in the ones I got. No more slips :mad: We'll have to hook up in a few weeks; I work nights and ride during the day.

Later

Damn, Aaren!:eek: Glad to hear you came out of it relatively unscathed.

Hope this weather holds up thru at least Saturday. I feel bad about taking my buddy down there on Sun. On the bright side, he's seen SST in the worse-case-scenario. Next time he's there it will be pretty tight in comparison.

Hey, thanks Andy. My left foot slipped off the pedal and I just couldn't get it back. Thought I'd land it ok, then all hell broke loose and I got slammed pretty darn hard. Shoulder is feeling pretty good, but I ought to stay off jumping for a few more weeks. Plus, I'm heading to Cali for a little snowboarding in just over a week and I want to feel good. I'll stay to some trail riding for now.

Nice. You (and alot of others) have progressed a freakin' ton over the last year...I'd hope that place is getting old to you. I've yet to bore/tire of it. I guess I need some more progression.

Hey.
Had a pretty good session out there today. I'll be out there tomorrow too... wed. Even though they called me in to work, I'll still go before work like always. No days off this week for me.

rad- good to hear your shoulder wasn't as bad as first thought!

Naw - don't break yourself - not worth it. I cleared the third one, but drifted to the right a bit, my rear got caught in the soft stuff and washed out and I landed right on my left shoulder and snap, snap. That was in Nov - I'm fine now. I may hit Softies on Saturday - I needs to clear that third one too.

Gday Cory,

Mate, I know who you are. After our discussion about HT's on....whatever day it was, I have been looking around a little, for a HT. Always up for a new challange. However I dont think I could ever hang the Demo up.
Will be out there tomorrow around 11.30 (Thursday), for another extended lunch. It just has to be super dry out there right now...got to love that. Hitting either the Shore or 27 on Sunday if anybody is interested.

Hey Chris,

I heard a rumor you painted the frame black? I think black looks better on a BigHit than that Dark/Royal/Navy blue. Do you like the rear end on that thing? Nice and squishy....handles all the big stuff!

Oh, while on the top of BigHits, I still have a rear 24inch Mag 30 complete wheel with tire, that I am trying to get rid of CHEAP. If you know anybody, let me know.

I will try and get there tomorrow. Was supposed to go today, however had to do that work thing.

I painted it black and got new bearings for it. Looks brand new and I love it.
