I like this pic of me riding a skinny on my uni........I think it has more to do with the fact that it felt so good when I finally made the whole distance than it does the pic :thumb:

That used to be on the ridge trail... it's been destroyed. The trail crossed the back of that rock, but I decided to explore and found a different route....

yeah, acapulco is way big. my buddy (private joker on these boards) did it on a hardtail w/ a z150 :eek:
My buddy was an expert at saying the right things to get myself and others to do stuff. So he told me that one of my buddies had done it on his hardtail - so I had to go for it... I'm smarter now.

yet some how your off it, arentcha!?
Nahh. The course took a hard left turn into a grassy section then into the woods. The worn track was an existing trail that dead ended into the tape behind the cameraman.

It's the NORBA beginner/sport course at Mt. Snow. It was a practice run (I don't wear the camelback for race runs)

I don't have any favorite pictures of me biking but this is my all time favorite bike related image - it was taken by IRBaboon sometime earlier this year. For some reason it struck me as cool so I got the original from him and had it printed up and posted in my LBS where it lasted quite a long time but was eventually stollen from the board.

So have YOU hit Space Monkey or Acopuco yet? They are not much worse than that one on ridge trail.

do u ever bend oyur rims raven?
i blow through a rear rim in about 4-6 months and front ones ever 8-9 months. i usually have to retire a rim because the ones i run are made of butter and get single sided dents all over and eventually i grind enough off the rim to where it just cracks.

in trials rims are disposable. i go through rims as much as some people go through tubes. pretty rediculous.

this picture came out awesome because there was like negative light to take it with. i think the gap is like 9+ feet? i dont know, its far. pedal kick gap- not this cheater speed into it method. gaps like this are awesome for your rims.

no i haven't, and probably won't. i'm a wuss now, and 10' + flat landings don't appeal to me much anymore. looks like you were on a single crown fork too, big props.
