I had english homework to do

 

[jimbo_the_biker]

Even though I didn't have a lot of time to spend there, that place was killer! Great place for learning and progressing for sure. We've gotta get some more rides going out there! Its not much farther from Bonney Lake than SST either.

BUT, next time I won't be a 'tard and forget my camera gear. Camera bag was packed and ready to go, and I forgot it by the door. DOH!

Hehehehe nice! i really hate it when that happens. Its usually the times you forget the camera when somthing really sweet gets thrown down too

 

[ryan/kona29]

ya like some tuck-no handers over the big line. . jimbo next time we ride you had better bring that camera or......

 

[jimbo_the_biker]

I'll have the camera for sure on thurs at the barn. Probably tomorrow morning at the barn as well, just in case.

-James.

 

[ryan/kona29]

man i'm really not in to the barn anymore. i mean winters sure but summer is dirt jump time!!!! so i think i am gona ONLY go on sunday late sesh's. gig harbor and softies and soon to be greenlake are gona be my skatebarn of dirt jumping!!! oh and i am building some trails back behind my house...i will post up the estimated lines in a little while!!!!

 

[ryan/kona29]

well maybe not:mumble: . it's way to hard to do that on the microsoft paint thingy. i will just get pics of the trails as i progress...first jumps should be done by friday!

 

[jimbo_the_biker]

ryan,
If you create a jimbo-possible beginner line, you'll be the coolest ever. haha! I still think we might have to scope out the area of Victor falls that isn't closed and see if there is any potential. Not sure about rules for that place though, but stuff has been built there before.

The barn is still cool for beginners like me, and for rainy days.

-James.

 

[ryan/kona29]

what are you talking about???? we already have a beginers line...in my street!!!
ya ya OK i'll consider the beginers line, but after the main lines are done, i mean i would want you helping not riding!!! hehe

about victor falls, my dad said i can attempt or build anything i want to on "not so my property" but he also said that he won't assist taking me to the spot, thats why my jumps are behind my house!

rainy days suck.

That sucks! Time to invest in a camera at some point eh? The LBS will tell you that yer a looser and should give them the frame for free Just kidding naw it probably isnt a big deal at all. Unless it starts getting worse or somthing weird like that then you may have a problem

 

[ryan/kona29]

well see.

 

[cove rider]

when are you taking it into the shop

 

[ryan/kona29]

never..............
i think i am just gona sell my HT and buy a new frame and fork and pocket the rest for repair money. i'm not sure yet. but i would sell my HT for like 400(no fork)

 

[jimbo_the_biker]

The iron horse porter frame/fork/headset/seatpost/combo are ~$450 at fluidride... I like mine a ton!

You said earlier it was yer HT??? now im confused and stuff

 

[jimbo_the_biker]

Hey,

Selling the Kona HT to replace the Fuse 20" then? That makes sense, since I've seen you ride the 20" everywhere, but only seen you on the kona once!

I'll have a bunch of Skatebarn photos to post by friday, until then, here's a teaser.

dude the lighting on that is AWSOME! good job ''handicapable"(jimbo)

 

[Bullitrider]

Went out to the GH DJs on Sunday and had a blast. I'm just getting into the DJ thing but was able to make it to the third jump on the big line. I couldn't quite get the last one so I could set up for the turn but it was all good. It was really my first foray of strictly dirt jumping. I think I found my new hobby! I was the only one there for a good two hours until a couple locals showed up. They told me the jumps were lobbied for by the local BMX kids who agreed to be the jump stewards. They got the ball rolling but abandoned the place before finishing the last three jumps on the big line. It seems any bike is welcome now!!

 

[ryan/kona29]

ya we need to get those runing!!!
