So I get up to go to work and my car has a flat. I change it and the crappy spare tire is flat.

I get it towed and while it is being fixed I call in to work and take the day off.

RaysMTB opens at 10 AM this week so I head down there and spend the day riding. Around 4 Taj walks in and starts riding every line there... so I start riding with him through the lines in the beginner room and intermediate sections. Hit the jumps a few times... he is a machine never stopping. such a nice down to earth guy. I am still stoked!

Did you hit the roof/beam transfer too? Sounds sick.
LOL no eff'in way! I am a smooth rider if I stay away from going big... I am just happy to ride the expert jumps smooth and with a little style... I got the pump and rythmn jumps down cold.

Oh one thing I just remembered.. in the begginer room. I was bunny hopping up the stepdown that he used as the take off when he jumped over the whole deck in the beggining of the odd couple video... as I was doing that he was riding up the platform over the logs next to where he landed in the video... this was the first I saw him and I was like holy crap it's taj and he is swerving to get out of my way... except of course I plop up on the deck... not actually come even close to clearing the deck.

Oh just talked with a local fixed gear bike polo bud... wow Taj was playing with them yesterday too on a fixed gear! Cool to see our local bike culture as a whole being embraced.

Taj is dope, must have been a treat to see him in person. Seems like he has such a major positive vibe all around.

I've always been impressed with Taj's riding. When I met him a coule years ago at Ray's (actually the night after I rode with you Axis) he was as impressive in person. Cool, down to earth guy who seems like he just likes bikes no matter the wheel size or type of riding.

Sounds sweet... why is Ray's open so early this week?
Dunno really probably because this is the last week of the season. I decided to take tomorrow and Friday off to ride in the AM and then in the PM both days.
