Pretty sure I’m out on that one.
Hard to say without being there.
Have to say, BK is a much better rider than a few years ago!

I’ve dropped 900’ in a mile. Was in the early 90s at Camp Carolina in Brevard. They had an xc race there every year that was famous for the Heinous Downhill. Spectators lined both sides of the trail to watch the carnage. No quick release seat collars or dropper posts. So ridiculously steep and awkward.
Same crew who will complain that hunting is unnecessary cause you can just get meat from the grocery store and spare animals the cruelty.Birth control for deer.
I really wish we did. Since they have pretty much killed every predator we have here. We also have a slight deer issue. It’s almost like humans don’t know what the fuck they are doing and Mother Nature does. . . Crazy I tell you.Why don't you folks import some mountain lions and wolves?
But bro dude bro, it was like totally dude bro steep dude. Like no fall zone steep dude bro.
Morning Monkeys.
So after some back and forth with my new overseas supplier we got the final graphics based on what they had on hand for the run of 30.
I have to say while I haven't gotten to see them in person yet, they seem to be the same specs as what Zumiez sells for $80 as a blank complete. If they are that good, I'll be excited.
<edit> and because I finally convinced them I wasn't a reseller any future orders will get a 20% discount. So yay.

there are some places at wilsons that'll drop you that quick and sustained (big lost cove, maybe no name/lettered rock, and one trail off the ohv trails). the pirate spots on our little here at poston park give you 500' in less than half a mile. here are two descents from yesterday:
that snooks nose ride i did the other week drops 3000+ feet over about 4 miles (almost all sustained dh)
i think there's a spot off the parkway in pisgah proper that'll get you some sustained steeps too.
look at this
Mike Frazier on Instagram: "This is what the winning run of the 2022 #TampaAm contest looks like. The Japanese skaters came here in droves, and destroyed the park!! There wasn’t a single skater from Japan that was even close to mediocre. Every single one of them ripped! There were 7 of them out of the final 12 skaters in the finals. @daikiikeda__ run could have easily fit right into the finals in the pro contest. The skating from kids in contests nowadays is insane, and Japan is leading the charge. @jamescraig24 @reese__frazier"

My folks had a reel to reel growing up. I don't know if I remember or would have even appreciated it at the time, but the only thing I can really recall is that my dad swore by it and it seemed unnecessarily complicated to me.
No authentic food?
I don't know about that. All I know is that Keanu Reeves was there...
Can you imagine?Why don't you folks import some mountain lions and wolves?
The number of notifications I get from Ring and Nextdoor warning people about coyotes and black bears is astounding, I can't even fathom what would happen if we added some actual apex predators into the mix.
Can you imagine?
Inspecting and calibrating ammonia detectors. Not bad. Need coffee.
And thats your local spot. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh
We have literally maybe one trail that can even begin to compare to yours and it drops about 800 feet in a mile, though majority of the descent is at the halfway mark... somehow didn't even ride it this year
Yep, night rides it is during the week.
How did you find that discount?
code?
code?
Yeah, but you are young, so I still win.
It's for a good cause. Biking.I blame you for two purchases over the weekend, the HG freehub and the chainring

Man, if Luke thought Tatooine was bad, he should see Dalhart Texas. Surely even Most Eisley had better dining options. 
Not just you...my philosophy as well (even though the youngling's taste good).
Afternoon. Second marking period started today....hard to believe we're mid-November already. Hoping my kids start practicing or something...today's rehearsal was not good. Off to do some grocery shopping with small one before gymnastics and then it's hot tub and bed for me.
I've got a buddy who spends every other week in Dalhart, for work. He's the anesthesiologist for the hospital there every other week. Anycrap, he says it's pretty damn boring.Man, if Luke thought Tatooine was bad, he should see Dalhart Texas. Surely even Most Eisley had better dining options.
I'm not sure that could be worth whatever he's getting paid...
Imma need an intervention or something. I have been looking at WAY too much crap on Alibaba and now have 4 sets of skate wheel "samples" coming. It's like Costco, the samples get me every time.
<edit> to be fair, they are between $13 and $15 a set shipped for basically Spitfire wheels in a few different sizes and hardness. They are $40+ a set locally.
I am also waiting on a quote for actual Spitfires for $14 a set plus shipping. So we shall see.

Ha, and the shop I ordered the skate tools from was one of the places I ordered a set of samples from. They are actually sending me 3 sets so I can check print quality.
I am thinking I will bring a bunch of crap with me to Nebraska when I visit this Spring. A bunch of cool wheels would be fun.

Let us know when you go visit, I’ll kick down for some fuel funds.
Don't even sweat it. I priced out the trip and it's cheap as hell. I'll stay in a casino and the trip might get paid for if I'm lucky enough.
Sounds like they have also gotten some contributions and he keeps trying to pay me back. I told him to keep it for future and I'll help with the future orders, too. Now that they are giving me a discount, I'm going to take advantage.
And the 3 sets of wheels I'm getting from the tool shop are all different printings. That's kinda cool, too. This is what I ordered but they offered something else.
Hell yeah!
Just booked tickets JH-Bogotá, $1400, two round trip tickets, extra legroom, 1 layover each way.
Even really good travel times. Red eye home, which I prefer.
Gonna be fun!
Edit: it was over $1k each round trip back east for Turkey day.

Same, only a couple of times luckily. Documenting everything is double plus good advice. But seriously this dude sounds like a slack asshole.
