These were all taken with a disposable camera. Some of them are bad from the upload, on my computer, they are sharp and clear.

XC ride at Firestone after working on DH course
I think its funny, how i'm wearing jeans and a skate helmet, with my 35lb. HT next to them (who look like xc riders). I didn't even have water and got quite thirsty. I had no idea we were riding about 10mi. I though we were going to do a little 4 mi ride.:D

Photo of: 2 other kids ( forgot their names), I'm between them w/ the red helmet, Mike Hecker on the right, minus -> Photographer: ( another rider; I forgot his name)

Photos of: the ride Photographer: me







Riding in Morro Bay, CA

Photos of: Justin doing the drop we found at the beach Photographer: me




A drop on a hill with very soft sand that he barely landed.


Photo of: me hitting the drop ( I thought he took more :mumble: ) Photographer: Justin


Photo of: Justin with his temporarily fixed as-x Photographer: me


I was doing a gap from one bench to another. I couldn't bunny hop that far because it was hard to get much speed. They each curve 90*, so nose wheelieing onto the other seemed like the easiest way. I made it a bunch of times. When he tried it, he wasn't exactly in control during the nose wheelie, and his rear wheel swung out, then down and the der. slammed the side of the bench. It was fine, but the hanger was so tweaked and twisted. The twisting of the hanger made his rear wheel come loose. I let him use my multi tool, and he somehow fixed it in about 5min.. He could only use about 3 cogs, but they were enough to get back.

He's 17. He should wear a helmet, but he's a stuborn dumbass.
There aren’t too many guarantees in life, but a rider who refuses to wear a helmet will learn a very painful lesson at some point—that I guarantee you.

After all of the years I spend racing BMX, riding dirt bikes, dirt jumping, downhilling, etc. I have seen several serious head injuries—from riders who felt that it wasn’t necessary to wear a helmet.

I suppose your friend feels that there isn’t anything in his head to protect. My suggestion, keep a cell-phone with you so you can call the helicopter when he splits his head open. Also, I hope he has health insurance; I don’t want my tax dollars going to pay his hospital bills…

Yea, There is no way that kid is 17.
You should see MTNBRIDER. When he rolled up I thought I was going riding with a 10 year old. He's older than he looks.

The pics don't really show how steep and far that cliff is that the guy fell down. If you've ridden Wilson you know that there are some places you really don't want to go off of. That was one of those places. Aside from that incident it was a really fun ride.

Damn, that kid looks like he is 8. I guess it is different in Cali, people always think I'm 18-20.
What can I say, in California we tend to start with plastic surgery really young…

Yea, He looks like hes is 10 too. Do kids just not hit puberty till 18 in socal or what?
