Crazy Sweeper and Sq-Earl doing some stunts at Treesaw's deck party

It was all good until Sweeper's balls met bar...

no good action shots of me meeting the stem? That's too bad, I'm still a little tender today.

You and Rob missed out on some great photo ops on Sunday, I was practicing wheelie dropping and I went to far back, the first time my ass broke my fall on a pallet, and the second time my whole back met the pallet, but I got some mean distance. Earl and I had a good laugh over it. Not nearly as painful as the stem to the groin.

 

[robdamanii]

Damnit, everyone else had cameras too!

Usually TreeSaw is much more punctual with pictures :mumble:

I believe she was killing a keg last night. Give her some time to recover.

I think we were all just too busy wondering if you were going to get up to take a picture

You mean supervising Sq-earl killing a keg

 

[bluebug32]

yeah, sq-earl was definitely drinking for 2

 

[stosh]

So do we get to see anymore pics? WTF?

 

[douglas]

I really want to see my facial expression when riding that steep section of damn loop

 

[bluebug32]

What did you think of our trails Doug?

 

[bluebug32]

What did you think of our trails Doug?

Hey, man. Why weren't you there?

 

[McGRP01]

Hey, man. Why weren't you there?

Couldn;t get a babysitter for my daughter.

 

[Crazy Sweeper]

worst pic thread ever!

we were gonna photo shop a pic of you on the stunts, so everybody would think you're so freeride, but we realized we have no pics of you on a bike....

 

[douglas]

What did you think of our trails Doug?

good stuff, definitely challanging........I need to get some wide stick-e rubber!!



The following day ( at Yukon Ridge) I found myself riding the technical stuff "Sq-Earl" style

 

[douglas]

thats all in their yard???? nice!!!!!!!

and theres more: short dirt trail w/a nice drop, a wood burm...........and the vortex!!

 

[stosh]

Splat is bringing his camera with him tonight. Maybe a Stosh on a bike will be spotted....

Stosh doesn't actually own a bike, he just runs alongside ours and points out all the roots and rocks

 

[stosh]

It's not an easy thing to do you know!!

 

[bluebug32]

You're like those idiots who run beside the racers at the Tour de France

 

[Crazy Sweeper]

making fun of stosh is one thing, but I certainly wouldn't call him an idiot.

 

[bluebug32]

Nah, Stosh is all good in my book. He'd just be a couple of notches cooler if he actually owned a bike

 

[robdamanii]

We should take up a collection and buy him a bike or something.

 

[TreeSaw]

Nah, you should take up a collection to buy me a new bike instead :devil:

 

[TreeSaw]

Patience people, patience...I've got some photos up and ready to post so don't get your panties all twisted up.

 

[robdamanii]

Nah, you should take up a collection to buy me a new bike instead :devil:

Trade ya.

 

[TreeSaw]

Trade ya.

I'm in the market for 3 new steeds and am hoping to sell off my trusty flock to finance the new ones

At long last....my highly anticipated Deck Party 2005 report & pics.

What can I say….another summer, another successful Deck Party. For those of you who missed it, eat your heart out and make sure you mark your calendars for next year ‘cause it’s going to be bigger and better

Our DH ride was cancelled for 2 major reasons…1) only Earl was scheduled to go and 2) once again West Mountain decided to close early L . So, Sq-Earl grabbed his Yeti and joined in the XC/freeride assault on the SMBA Stables. Our group ride was substantially smaller than last year, but definitely didn’t lack in the fun department.

Here we are at the start on 107. From left to right: Crazy Sweeper, Douglas, Davis (non- ) and TreeSaw.

Shortly down 107 there’s a fun rock to roll just before coming out to the carriage loop.

Douglas:

Crazy Sweeper:

TreeSaw:

Here we are climbing up a steep rock (pic doesn’t do it justice) called “Christmas Tree Rock” on the Bee Loop.

Crazy Sweeper:

Douglas:

TreeSaw:

TreeSaw showin’ Douglas & Crazy Sweeper (in the background) how to ride “Broken Wrist” a fun rock formation on the Bee Loop. They of course couldn’t let a smelly pregnant lady out-do them and had to try it out for themselves later (too bad the pics sucked :devil: )

Next we rode down to a nice lookout. Look carefully, Douglas & TreeSaw are trying to help Crazy Sweeper off the cliff

Another steep rock roller on Bee.

Davis with TreeSaw coming around the bend in the background.

Douglas:

Crazy Sweeper:

Time for a snack while scooping out a sketchy drop.

Off to the Dam Loop. There is a REALLY steep (much more DH riding than XC) hill that connects the Peninsula Trail with the Dam Loop. The pics don’t even begin to do it justice, as it’s nearly vertical.

Sq-Earl (up close and personal):

Douglas (who couldn’t get any farther behind his seat and still hold on) :devil: Sorry...this pic should be rotated, but I forgot to do it before uploading it.

A funny shot of Douglas blasting down a hill and missing a turn on the Dam Loop

Back home for a bit of food and keg #1 & 2

TreeSaw & Big Jake chillin’ in the driveway:

Douglas, robdamanii & bluebug32 chillin’ in the garage:

Crazy Sweeper’s been drinking

It’s never safe to pass out early when there’s a bunch of drunk guys and hot dogs in the house. Poor Nick!

The drunk guys in the previous photo don’t ride MTB anymore…instead, they’ve formed their own motorcycle gang.

On to the stunts!!!

Zombie (my brother-in-law) doesn’t ride a MTB anymore, but was drunk enough to take Sq-Earl’s singlespeed out on the stunts…needless to say, it didn’t end so well :devil:

The Sunday Stuntline:

Crazy Sweeper wanted to practice some wheelie drops so Sq-Earl was on deck to demo proper form on his Cowan.

An early attempt by Crazy Sweeper didn’t look so good.

Crazy Sweeper trying again:

Crazy Sweeper meets with success:

Unfortunately, I missed the crash that happened later, but I gather it would have made a REALLY funny pic. :devil:

Sq-Earl riding the skinny with ease (he makes everything look so damn easy):

Sq-Earl heading over the teeter:

All-in-all, it was a good time. Sorry that some more s and the jackalopes missed out this year. Maybe we’ll have a repeat in the fall. Next summer we hope to add a dirt jump line out back as well and we’ll have some more pics of people rocking the drop-berm-vortex creek jump.

 

[robdamanii]

Awesome pics.

Although I DO look like someone just caught me with my hand down my pants. Damnit, I never take pics well.

 

[McGRP01]

Looks great T! Nice to actually see pics of our trails, gives me a better appreciation for what we have to ride. Pick a fall party date and I'm there!! I promise!

P.S.-You should email those to Jamie to put up on the SMBA site!

True...I think I can post them though (I have them stored on photobucket).

Edit: done!

 

[TreeSaw]

yeah, sq-earl was definitely drinking for 2

Wait...I thought he was drinking for 3 :devil:

 

[JRogers]

Looks like fun! I was plannig on going but I forgot that I had already told my family I'd meet them in Boston. I even considered skipping out until I remembered that we were meeting to go to Drum Corps worlds in Foxboro. Maybe next year.

 

[Crazy Sweeper]

I love that roller pick treesaw! I think that's the best pic of the bunch. You guys are so devilish.

Yeah, we missed you! Definitely try to make it out next time...you won't be disappointed.
