Yeah, people we don't like we ignore or flat out insult. A little teasing here and there is a sign of affection from this crowd. Get yer ass to Vermont, Stubby.That's how the RM people show their affection. People make fun of my horrible taste in music because they like me........right?......you guys do like me, right?......
but you dont see me go to my corner and cry when you do over the internet
only if you let me ride with you and we go deer hunting again
And when people crash on camera, we watch the video about 20 times that night
I'll pass on the deer hunt but you can ride up with me for sure.only if you let me ride with you and we go deer hunting again
haha sweeeet ill let you know when it gets closer
you read my diary!
Yupper! I'm still riding my bike now at over 5 months preggo, so why not?! No worries, I'll escape to my room to pump every few hours but other than that, I should be relatively good to go. Bear in mind, I raced a 24 hour race only 4 months after Syd
How do you get invited to monkey fest
First year on ridemonkey
love it so far!
What is it all about?

There's a hazing ritual involving IAB, JBP's mustache, a 5 gallon bucket of mayonnaise, a pack of Bang-Snaps, a fedora, 1/2 of a hot Italian sausage and a September 1984 issue of Penthouse magazine......but it's totally worth it.
If I show up I'll be hazing you.
Just please wear a condom.
I'm wearing one right now.
Always prepared, and you weren't even a Boy Scout!
actually I was. Even made eagle scout.
Dude, gross.
my troop was a sweet one. not the touchy feely catholic / penn state kind.
The DH trails at Burke look like they're going to be an awesome network eventually.
I've only ever ridden some of the KT XC stuff and had a blast...One of the early dates with my-now-wife. Back when I only had a fully rigid Trek 830 and she was riding the 29er hybrid I stole from my dad and gave to her...
Maybe MMike will go if you're lucky.

I was never a boy scout, but I have eaten a lot of Brownies.
We all get together, rent a lodge for the weekend, ride bikes, drink beer, repeat.
Lemonade and water for the younguns.
Consider yourself invited.

I'm a Definite maybe
be mindful, he's underage.
And that can lead to sh1t to pay in VT...
I've got a little surprise that I'm going to keg up and serve on draft this summer but I'm also interested in suggestions for what to brew. I'll consider just about any style but as the brewer I reserve the right to ignore them all.
So far I've got a suggestion for hefeweizen and I have a great recipe from a couple years ago that I might redo.
I'm also considering getting a commercial keg coupler to go with my draft box setup. If people want to pitch in to share the cost of a keg of Trout River or some other commercial keg that would be enough to convince me to pick one up prior to MF.

count me in and i'll see if i can get a friend to come too. he just started posting here too so it'll be good for him to get hazed.
nobody seems to agree with me, but I really hope they open the new lift for biking. You'd have one from the top, for DH, and one from the bottom, for DJ and XC. Judging by last years turnouts, they'd have no problem covering the cost.
you do know how much it costs to operate a lift for a day right?
I think I was quoted 2gs. By the line of 100 people at the end of last season, I would imagine they're doing pretty well. If they could attract more DHers, I would imagine they could easily increase their price AND increase their customers.
Wow, I'll actually be in the states then! But, I'm planning a Boulder (Trestle) -> Moab -> Park City -> Tahoe trip during that time. If plans collapse.......
Hmmm... if we're actually going to be having some of the younger, underage crowd here this summer, perhaps I will invite the 15yo who rides with my local group quite a lot? He's been dying to go to KT/Burke Mtn ever since I told him about it last summer.
We need to encourage a new generation of monkeys.
encourage or corrupt?
I wonder if it's time for the potato canon to get dusted off...
As much as I would love to take runs from the top of the mountain, there's something very nice about the price, size and vibe of burke as it is today. As it sits now, it's hitting some scaling issues imo. On closing day the lines in the afternoon were 20+ minutes for a 5 minute run. I think it's a simple as adding more hooks to load more bikes - you could cut that time at least in half.
I think the newly installed windmill is now generating power - hopefully defraying some of the cost (over time).
By the way, there is a shuttle to the top. I'm definitely going to check out the trails up there next year... even if I have to pedal up
Yeah I intend on taking a shuttle or three next year, but I still think that operating the big lift, even on random specified weekends, would make more of a destination, even more than it already is. As much as I loved KS and jester, they just aren't legitimate DH trails, which you can find right at the top of the mountain.
