mmmm...black, my color of choice as well...
I would meet up with you this weekend but Iam going to eastern oregon to kill little innocent sage rats(possible offspring of sagums????). No but I can ride on Sunday if you are still going to be around. Benny is engaged!!! just happened last week and he broke his bike again! funny. Josephat and I are trying to talk him into buying a new bike but we'll see if we can. I guess we know what his priorities are(ha ha). But call me if you have my number and we can get this all figured out. If you don't have it, its 503-720-6640. TDB will ride again with more hollering than ever.
nice, do u ride that anywhere around here? i usually ride at badger mountain park and the hill that is attached to badger mountain itself. (i live up there)
Well Chuckums...good luck with the squeeker extermination...little bastards, I still dream of them coming back and tearing my body to pieces. Watch your back when you are over there, they know you are a friend of mine...never trust them Charlie, no matter what they say.....
Yea I ride it around here a little bit...I built a bunch of stuff out at State Patrol, but that got old (and dusty) in a hurry. We have a new mountain to focus our building attention on...but I don't know if I should broadcast it over the internet...

oh, i was over at state patrol on my hardtail a couple weeks ago and rode fred and johns for what i think was the first time. i did fine but my friend (riding my gt i-drive trailbike) got kicked over the bars on the little jumps. anyway, maybe you could pm me about that mountain....? i wouldn't tell anybody--i don't even know any mountainbikers here (my friend is a bmxer)Originally posted by ragin-sagin

The magic 8 ball has spoken:
yes to what? oh and how are you liking that volume?
Yes to riding Hood River tomorrow.
The Volume is great. I pulled apart the cranks and fixed the squeak, replaced the brake cable and it's running like a champ. I can't do much on it yet, but I'm picking stuff up pretty quick.
Next time you're out at State Patrol, take a run down Skateboard. There are some small jumps built about halfway down. Dunno if you'd seen those yet.

glad to hear the volume's working out.
i went down fred and john's with my friend and there were some jumps that like cut a whole bunch of corner's like halfway down the trail. my friend went over the bars on the last one that doesn't shoot you anywhere near the trail. where is skateboard in relation to fred and john's or big tire?
Go across the top trail east of big tire and FrednJohns. You'll see a sign for it heading off down the hill.
When you're going down the trail you'll see a spot where the trail either goes right or goes straight and drops down a small rocky section. As soon as you drop down into the gully, you can see the bottom of a small drop. (You can climb up to see where the trail starts just above.) It crosses the trail to the left and up the other side of the gully. There are a few more jumps if you follow that and it joins back upwith the main trail. Then at the bottom right before you hit the road you can either jump a small lip down a short hill, or if you look to the right there is a gap you can jump. Nothing too challenging, but it's a fun trail to bomb down.

thanks for the directions. do you know if slickrock is still in existence? i heard it was "hard," but i've never been able to find it...
I hear Hood river is simply fantastic this time of year. I saw a bunch of video footage on the newly released video "Take It to the Limit" It shows this guy do a backflip off the ski jump! I wish I could ride there, but I don't think I am brave enough or talented enough to hold a candle on those trails. I heard all the pro's are going straight to family man 'cause it is the newest and baddest thing around. Man, If only I could get down to California, I would maybe go ahead and give it a shot.....
I think we're talking about Hood River, Oregon here.
PC...Post Canyon, Oregon...whoever said it was in Cali was yanking you chain 
Man, I can't say anough good stuff about the time and effort that's gone into PC, it's really sweet. You can spend all the time you want drooling over BC and Canada in general, bet we've got our own shore right here in Oregon folks, just be respectfull to the other trail users...

It scared me so bad I almost shat myself. But know I have been practicing and I think I can hang with the big girls on family man. Oh Yeah I saw that guy do the backflip on the skijump in post canyon, California. Dude that was sick he was straight gettin krunked. Did you see the dude do the suicide jockey flip off that jump. I was like dude you crazy!!!:devil:
Yeah guys, I was having a little fun. I've been riding post canyon for years. Was there saturday, the new trail is coming along perfectly. Cannot wait until it is finished. Conditions were good, company was good and the riding was great!
