Corner sticks...fucking corner sticks. It drives me mad when I'm ready to get my lean on and come upon a corner that looks like a beaverlodge. And this happens on trails that dozens of people have ridden before I come to a skidding halt. If I didn't move these miserable, wooden crash rods, I'm not sure if they'd ever be removed. #coolstorybro
Home made Vietnamese chili sauces - it's all fun and games until a fiery fart wrecks your bunghole.
I just thought about rob ford.
I wonder if you can smoke crack in heaven.

My Mother named me James. Nobody calls me that. Think of that. Nobody calls me my actual name.
Time to boycott pinkbike.
It isn't arbitrary, everything just keeps getting bigger. Wider thicker bars, bigger wheels, bigger tires, bigger bottom brackets, bigger cassettes, wider hubs. longer forks, longer wheelbases , wider trails etc.
Sounds like you'd love one of these:

Having the equivalent of a nice new car invested in a stereo system that you can not use due to TBI induced headaches really REALLY sucks. 
Two Built MX jerseys cost less in a local moto store than a four pack of most Trillium beers. 
Are Recumbents just adult big wheels?
When it is hot out the ice cubes in whiskey will melt faster. Remind yourself of this so you can walk home.....
Surely not everyone was Kung Fu Fighting....
Next time remind yourself not to put ice cubes in whisky.
Its cool and refreshing. If you drink it fast enough it doesn't get watered down. Moonshine is only palatable watered down anyways.
I wonder how many lives loud pipes have saved. 
Funny how the Americans best versed in the metric system are engineers and drug dealers.

Well how do you think engineering students pay for college ?

I had a piano moving business. I made several observations.
There are two kinds of piano customers. The kind that can't watch and the kind that has to.
The customer is lying.
All the time.
About everything.

I wonder how many dollars men have spent trying to get their wives/girlfriends to participate in MTB.
Over the years a buddy of mine tried to get his wife on a MTB. Each attempt resulted in a trip to the ER. Then 29'ers came out and now she can roll over all the little bumps just like a proper dentist.
Props to her for trucking on. Most folks would probably give up if their burgeoning biking career resulted in repeated ER trips.
I know a Dr. who got scolded for her multiple ER visits from mountain biking. She now works in an ER.
I ride alone a lot. Probably more then I ride with others. I am fine with that. I like riding with others.I realize the advantage. Not riding seems silly however....
Ah yes it has been too long since I have been visited by my old friend, the endorphin high. Did a hard 20 mile ride tonight, took a hot shower the went to the market. I was just floating along, so relaxed and loose as I walked. I cracked a big smile when I remembered this is how it felt post ride when I was much younger. Welcome back old friend, I hope you stick around
Does torn ACL surgery and post-op recovery and PT count?
I ride alone a lot, too. Most people slow me down on the descents anyway.
There are only a few people I have ever enjoyed riding with. Need to ride with people with similar skill and fitness. I don't like being slowed down in fun sections and do not want to do that to anyone else.Does torn ACL surgery and post-op recovery and PT count?

I get anxiety about riding with new people for that exact reason. I hate to be the one holding anyone up.
man, if I avoided riding with people due to my slow-ass climbing, I'd never ride with anyone.
I also enjoy some solitude. A ride is a good way to get the hell away from people.
Early in the summer I had a few weeks in a row when I had to entertain out of town guests. Was pretty pumped to get out on the trails after a few weeks off. Buddy asked if I wanted to the ride in the morning. I said nope, would hit the trail later in the day. I honestly just wanted to be alone. Fucker showed up later so he could catch me on the trail. I was pretty fucking annoyed.

I can hold my own on the downhill portions but usually get passed by everyone on the uphill.
