Sweet, will it be right-side-up?BadDNA said:
My neck hurts alreadyMcGRP01 said:Sweet, will it be right-side-up?
Yeah, I'm working on that, I tried to fix it a little late last night but couldn't quite get the hang of it. The video will be right side up when it's done. Of course, if anyone knows Adobe Premiere 6.0 and can tell me how to rotate a clip I'm sure it'd be much faster.

wow, i'm guessing that drinking heavily and sleeping on the top bunk resulted in some pretty sweet bruises

Here are some photos I took over the weekend.
Monkeys on the porch
They sure do love their softball up there, they even played in the rain Saturday night
Ump couldn't make it to the porta-john on the other end of the field I guess
A house full of Monkeys

Sugarhouse
Berkshire_Rider and Herb at Heaven's Bench on Sunday morning
Heaven? Pretty damn close if you ask me
The river sure felt nice after the riding

Hey now!Echo said:Jozz: approaching JollyTime in Kingdom Trail guide skills
I'm sure there's more... awesome weekend all
Boy, it sounds like I missed a heck of a weekend! I am sure Jozz did a fantastic job giving the tour. Well, this past weekend didn't work for me, but if anyone finds their way to the Kingdom, drop me a line and I will gladly take you around! I am already looking forward to next year!

great pics BadDNA! Keep up the riding you are doing awesome for just gettin back into it! your Tech. skills are great for someone who has only been riding a year +... I know guys that have been riding for years who get scared of some of the "skinnies" and "tech fun stuff"!!!BadDNA said:
It was great to meet you, and I cant wait to see some footage... I don't care if it is a little crooked, it is cool that you took a chance and rode with your expensive camera!
Rock on my man! I hope I don't have to wait till next year to ride with you and the other "Nam Vets"
That's a great photo! Sounds and looks like a lot of monkeys had a great time.berkshire_rider said:Sunday - Top of the Kingdom:
I thought that one looked familliar. I shot this standing 3' or so to Berkshire_Rider's left:
you just want to put on my cowboy hat. we're on to you and your tricks.Echo said:
i am so glad i got my act together and showed up for some riding and drinking. big ups to my sister Liz for providing the car and picking me up at the airport. without her it just wouldn't have happened.
at this point i'm not going to figure out the inline image linking on ridemonkey, but intrepid explorers can go here to view plenty of pictures of eating and drinking. http://pew.vatican.com/gallery/monkeyfest2006-ben
do I even want to knowwhat isgoing on here :
Video will be along shortly, I had to build a new PC last night as none of my current systems was up to the task of digitizing the video at a large enough frame size to make me happy. If anyone objects to my use of their pictures from the weekend in the video let me know, otherwise I'll pick and choose from this thread to fill in some gaps in the video.
Brungeman, got a digital version of the graphics you used on the shirts? I'd like to include that in the video as well.

Issa said something like, "Let's take a nice picture for Pigboy's Mom." So JBP and I were trying to comply.splat said:do I even want to knowwhat isgoing on here :
For the most part, I forgot I had my camera with me. Of the pictures I did take, 95% of them suck. Most of the ones that didn't suck are very similar to what's already been posted. Except for these 3, enjoy.

Oh there most certainly were and all were singlespeeding to boot! Echo on his Kona Explosif SS, Sq-Earl on his Kona Cowan SS, and the most hardcore prize goes to BikeGeek (Fully rigid On One SS 29er)!!!sirknight6 said:Jeese!!!! Not one hard-tail among you!
Sweet!!!!! I wish I could have made it, but Snowshoe took precedent.TreeSaw said:
I had my HT SS with me! It just sat at the house the whole time...
Sq-Earl & I were just discussing a fall trip up to KT. Interested? We may even be able to arrange for some on-site babysitting services too :dancing:BikeGeek said:
BRRAAAPPPPPPP!!!!! I'm in!TreeSaw said:
Sweet! We hope to have enough people to get the lodge again! Any weekends particularly good for you? We were tossing around Sept. 1-4 (Labor Day) or Sept. 29- Oct. 3 (I have a long weekend for Yom Kippur) or Oct 6-9th. (Columbus Day). I will have to check and see if the Lodge is available of course, if not it would be camping.McGRP01 said:BRRAAAPPPPPPP!!!!! I'm in!
I'll be in Maine Labor Day weekend, so the later in the season the better for me. Columbus Day should work. Lodge or Campground...either way is fine!TreeSaw said:
Post on the Elevate board too (if you want), I know some of those guys were interested in a Fall trip up as well.
TreeSaw said:
Treesaw I am in! That place rocked, as soon as I got home I looked for jobs in vermont. I totally dug the trails and the lack of people in the state...as well as all of the hottie french canadian chicks that ride there
