After meeting Douglas and Treesaw I decided to start posting. I just moved to NY and have been slowly finding my way around the area. Well for those of you interested here is a picture tutorial to catch you up on what I have been up to/ who I am.

I like to ride bikes. I ride a heckler with a 36 and blur with a talas or a SASS with a bomber if you see me out say hello L8APX. Sometimes I ride my 80's Bianchi SS road bike. Here are some random current bikes pictures.



no COOL pictures of my Blur, sorry

Old bike shots


The rootbeer bullit was good for freeriding ;)

The green bullit was good for wallrides :)

Couple of ride shots



I also like to ski & fish

The 04/05 quiver

Old skool skiing

I'm a skinner too

Me and a trio of rippers



Well that's me, sorta. I'll try to start posting more as my adventures in life and the pursuit of fun continue.

Thanks and have a great day!

His name is Duke. He's a great dog/ buddy. I hate to say but, he isn't all that great at freeriding. Guess I need to get him a set of 3 point O's

I used to race DH, I've done the 24hr thing but for some reason I don't race xc. I might race some super D events if they exist around here.
I'd like to do some Super-D too! Let me know if you find any going on in the area.

Welcome to da :monkey: It was good to meet you last night. Now we'll have to show you around our local trails and get you riding & posting more (rather than lurking ;) ). :thumb:

Yup! I also like to hit Shelving Rock atleast once each summer.
For DH, hit up West Mtn., Platty, Diablo/Mtn. Creek, Mt. Snow, J-Peak or Whiteface.
My next DH type trip will be to diablo to ride and visit a friend that lives there. Thats in July, then the SS world in Aug. then back to Mt. creek in Sept. That's all that is planned, the rest will be pulling straws. I'll prob. go to west a few weekends this summer.
