Noon is great!
I think its kind of funny we have this conversation going on two sites with the same people
well, its a way to promote the ride1
are we gonna be riding the buttermilk trail or is it gonna be an urban ride
It will be an urban"ish" ridemindlessfr said:
Probably ride around the Island, play around on the rocks, look at some of the chutes, then ride around town.
Thats my guess
sweet i cant wait
look?BigMike said:
does the ish part mean you'll hit the wall at all? tredagar wall that is? that place is so fun to session!
Yup. We hit it...Fun!!!ridetoofast said:
ridetoofast said:
By "look" I meant Look at, find lines, and ride em, which we did
As for the wall, We sessioned it for quite awhile. Its weird hitting it in daylight after being so used to hitting it at night.
Today's money shot...

My last post just dosen't sum up todays ride so I am adding a "today's top ten list" of the Richmond ride;
10. Mtnbikerboy's mile long wheelies
9. Watching how smooth Dart lands his bike on a gnarly drop
8. Mindlessfr's styling HUGE F***ing airs
7. Wood-dog finally got a copy of "The Collective"
6. Listening to BigMike go BUUURRRR, BUUUUURRRR, BUUUURRRR
right before he takes flight
5. SK6 taking a header off the Tredagar wall (thankfully he was ok)
4. BigMike had working brakes on his bike
3. John (BigMikes roommate) sliding in the mud as he is fighting for
his life to get out of Dart's way
2. We discover that John(BigMikes roommate) shaves his legs with
ladies pink disposable razors
And today's # 1 event of the Richmond ride is....The session at Tredagar Wall!

yeah deffenitly comming next time haha I spent the day hitting a step up with some funny bmx'ers. that wall looks fun pedaling around would suck though haha. how tall is that wall? Tell me next time you go woody
It wasn't a header. But a footwear issue. When My foot came of the peddle, when I got it back on the right side was in the down position causing it to dig into the ground. The fact I was 5 feet to far to the right and had little or no tranny made it a consequential case!wood-dog said:
The saddle hit right above the "choir" so its a bit sore.
Thanks for askin though...
It's all good, a little sore is all!
that looked like a pretty bad fall, its good to see your ok
Thanks!mindlessfr said:
Just a lttle sore, I threw the bike just in time..
wood-dog said:
Yesssss, I made the list. Does that mean I'm a celebrity? hahaha
Next time I'll bring a camera with video, a tube, and a belt.
PS: Whoever left early missed an amazing wallride in a BMX lot, and a sick drop off a sidewalk (a good 8 ft vertical). Next time stay, you wont regret it. Thanks to everyone who showed me around, I had a great time riding with ya'll, and especially Woody and Dart for staying and showing me some more stuff. Peace

Hey Man, its not BUUURR, I'm not cold, its BRAAAP!

And the Collective is great! I have already watched it twice and by the same token, enjoy Earthed

I'm assuming the wall ride is the White Walls, by the Police station, and what is this sick 8 foot drop off a sidewalk? (Dart, care to shed some light?)
Sorry I couldn't stick around, but I got in a good 3 hours of riding, and I had some getting drunk to do! We got bored and incorporated TicTacs, Altoids, Cheetoes, and Pretzels into our Tequila, but thats a whole other story!
White Walls, yes.BigMike said:
Sorry MtnBikerBoy but you have to put away your Pinkbike ruler.
It was at the sidewalk gap behind Ethel Corp headquarters (the big white mansion above Tredegar) as demonstrated by Milby here...
We skipped the whole gap part and just rolled fast off the lip of the cement. It's a good floaty drop over a steep grassy slope where you are in the air for a while but never really more than 2 feet off the ground.
Mike
Yeah, I was gonna say, if there was an 8ft. drop, I'd know about it!
Where was that last pic taken at? the Trail pic taken from above. sorry I miised out maybe next time.
