I think I could run "hook worms" here in OR and it would feel better than "nevys" on the leaves at home! great training though!

A couple of us successfully hit the new jump at regency a couple days ago. We took some height off the lander because only Joe Haley could cleanly clear it before...

This jump is pretty big!

One more for good measure, different jump:


Have a good day!

I landed a little further than I wanted to! And I had a brand spankin' new pair of sixsixone shoes on(alota good they did!) I like to think that I would have been fine with my old shoes on?? I'll be back at it soon....it'll give me time to work on my bike a little...I hit that without a rear derailleur cable...but anyway...it was alota fun!

Sweet, you really don't even need a chain for it... the first time i hit
it i didn't have a front brake.. you can see it in missiongravity's vid on YT! Heal up, practice the "exit ramp" a bunch.. and then get out here to OR so you can hit multiple drops that size while flowing a trail! Bo:rockout::rockout:

If those 661s are like the dually taki 661s I had they are a waste of money and skin. My sandles stuck to the peddles better, no joke! The second mistake I made was using them just because I spent the money. My advice is to through them in the garage (because I wouldn't give them to a friend) and order a pair of five ten impact 2s. Best money I ever spent.

Nice drop!

New frame I painted:

Built up enough so I can ride it. I plan on getting a new brakeset (I'm tired of not having a front brake) and a new rear whee... this one is a loaner.

I also have the orange lg1 on order!! 8)

Mike in some steep rocky goodness.



Scott on the finger. Took this one-handed while running to get out of the way.



Mike on the same. Probably the shot of the day.

mmm, steep rocky goodness for breakfast lunch and dinner. They should start printing recycles logo duct tape so you could repair and represent simultaneously!

Here's some pics of my new ride. I bought it off a guy that moved to NC from Colorado. He had to go back to start a new job so he sold this to get money for the plane ticket.

Manimal, there are new beginner drops on the opposite side of the pit near the lander for the 20fter. They should be a good warm up. Here is a picture of my daughter doing the bigger of the three.

anyway, just got back from santos a few hours ago....had a blast!
noah with a little huckage

clearing the big table at the end of the dj line

blurry pic of me hitting the 15'



it took me about 20 minutes of nervous practice runs before i got up the nerve to hit the drop....but it was butta! had a bunch of tweens on walmart bikes watching so i HAD to hit it ;)
that was a huckin' good time :thumb:
