we're alwasys down for more cameras.what do you have?we need a death lens if you know anyone and we dont have any nondigital still cameras.there is also quite a lot of heat on the hill right now because of the new lines so please be careful.the city isnt exactly stoked on the project.post up if you want to meet up for a ride,tues and thurs are good for me.if you get this soon a couple fools and i are gonna ride street today in a few hours.late-
Not sure what a 'death lens' is, but I currently run a Canon A2 swapping out a 70-200/f2.8 lens and a 17-35/f2.8-4.0 lens for wideangle duties. It's a 35mm film SLR still camera.
I'm mostly available on weekends only nowadays or before 11:00 on weekdays. Just let me know when ya'll plan on being out there and who/what to look for.

Ya this city has always been pretty negative on the cool stuff. To many lawyers in this town.
i've had to get a lawyer before.
Damm I need to go out there. Need to order my parts soon.
are you guys talking about katie trails?
Several of us from SA hit the trails yesterday. They are really fun and some are quite big. I took my hardtail and wished I had my bigger bike. Some suspension on the back would have given me some much need confidence to get over a couple of those bigger ones, but the trails are really nice and those guys have done a really nice job. Plus they all are super cool and really nice to hang out with. Thanks....
dudes, thank yall for finally coming up and riding with us.its really satisfying to see new people at the trails having fun. i wish the dude on the tazer would have ridden some of the other lines though.that guy was too smooth to not be riding everything.next time bring the big bikes and we'll hit the DH runs.if the weather is good i hope to see yall back as soon as possible.lates-T
Yeah, that guy is a BMX pro and is so smooth is disgusting. I marvel at how smooth he is. But he funny that way, cuz he rides BMX national tracks mostly he gets funny about lines that aren't BMXish. If that makes sense.
We did get to ride the DH trails, but on our hardtails it was a little rough, but I throughly enjoyed them. We are all planning on coming up again next Sunday and we will bring our big bikes. However, it has been a long time since I've jumped that monstrosity, I may not know how.
Hope to see ya again.

do you guys ever ride with jason sunday? one of my friends went down there this past week and had some amazing footage of him... so much style
i think ive met him before. he built some of the pimpinest 20" lines on the southside.last i saw of them they were getting bigger and had an extreme right hip in the works.havent been back in a while due to other projects though.i also dont ride 20's so i couldnt jump anything anyway,they are tight and technical.probably the cleanest jumps around and have served as inspiration for other projects.do you ever get down to ATX hacim?
i haven't had the chance to go down there yet due to an ankle injury and bike problems, but now that everything is starting to turn around for me i might try to take a trip down there. it's a 6 hr drive from here so it's not a very convenient w/end trip, but maybe this summer i will be lucky enough to visit.
You can make it from Durango to Austin in 6 hrs? I don't think you can even make it out of the state in 6hr from Austin. The closest would be Mexico.
The city has been out at the jumps all week wrecking havok. They attempted to tear down one of the large step downs and we fear they will be back for more. A bunch of people were trying to get out there today to try to prevent anymore damage. We will keep you posted as to the riding conditions for the weekend. As of now most of the lines are still good to go...

That really sucks!
I experienced the same thing on some jumps we had back in Tennessee. We always lost and had our stuff torn down. The only solution was to move to private land. Probably no chance of that in Austin though.
Let us know, the SA gang was going to head up there again on Sunday.

yall should come up for sure.the city doesnt have enough manpower to tear down much between now and then plus im pretty sure the only things they didnt like were the manmade bridge into the stepdown and other out of place suport type stuff.so come up.i should be getting off work around three again. also, depending on how today goes there might be a new line.SWEET.
SQUASHER, if you bring the drop crown so we can trade ill buy you a sixpack.

You'd have to get him a sixpack of Sprite. But I'll take the sixpack if its beer.
i guess i should change the location on my profile... i am currently in oklahoma, but only for a few more months and then i'm back to durango.
p.s. never move out of state with someone who is a total momma's boy. they will want to move back & screw everything up for you

What was he doing that caused him to brake his arm? Which line? Wish him a speedy recovery.
Ill bring the crown. I dont drink (long story) so dont worry bout the sixpack. Yo can buy me lunch at Micca Dies sometime 
You scared profro with the broken arm, he may not go, but me, James and the other dude on the Kona will be there.
Sorry to hear about your arm, heal fast!!!

No need to make fun. I told you with my trip to Utah planned I am not sure its worth the risk this close to departure. I remember you saying the samething before your trip to Colorado.
The six pack, wasn't that much further around the corner past the big jump?
What time you guys heading out there?
