I just moved to annapouis and am looking for dirtjumps and any place to ride a freeride bike. Where is this watershed place? Any help would be great. Thanks craig
Funny. The guys that worked there years ago laughed at me for putting a 5" fork on my hardtail. Then they tried to sell me carbon bars.jdschall said:Also the mechanics that work at Bike Doctor in Annapolis by the mall all seem to ride nice DJ/street hardtails. You might want to go hang out there and talk with them about where they ride.
I checked out the Chase at Bike Doctor on Rt. 2 in Arnold. That guy was really cool...."go for it."jdschall said:I tried to get a look at a STP and a Chase since they sell both Giant and Cannondales there. (seems logical right?) When I asked the sales person they scratched their head like "WTF are you talking about" so I left.
No kidding? I didn't know you weren't supposed to ride there.jdschall said:I've ridden around Truxton too. I live 1 block away. There is that one huck there that is pretty cool and the step-up like jump after it. I tend not to go there because you aren't really allowed to ride there anyway and its too small to be worth it. Its too bad the skate park is so lame.
I've definitely hit up those off-trail trails at Quiet Waters many times I've never been caught. They used to be fairly fun...for Annapolis.jdschall said:Another time I was riding around the paved path at Quiet Waters with my wife and the ranger stopped me and yelled at me about riding off the paved path which is funny because I didn't even know there was anything unpaved there at the time. Again not worth the hassle.
Yeah, let us know. I've never hit a dirt jump in my life, but I'd be curious to hear about this.jdschall said:I will have to go hunt for these Bestbuy DJ's of which you speak. I was thinking to myself just the other day while I was at petsmart that those woods might just harbor something interesting if I were to go poking around.
Have you ever noticed the tiered steps near that Navy housing before you hit the Severn River bridge? That's always looked fun...and if I were less of a vagina, I'd probably do it up.jdschall said:Other than that I just try to make my daily urban commute down West St. interesting by riding as many skinny brick walls as possible...
It sucks for biking, for sure. But we do have wakeboarding! My roomate bought a 2005 Mastercraft X2 last summer, so we've had a lot of fun on that. However, we all suck at wakeboarding, toojdschall said:Pretty much after living here about 6 months I've decided it sucks.
Yeah I looked it up on a map last night. I know about where it is. I never have been over there except to go to Grauls every once and a while.proglife said:Heroes: It's a little bar right next to the Rt.50 over pass on Ridgely Ave. If you're at Northwoods/Redds Automotive/or that bakery (west annap.), you drive over the little creek bridge, come up the hill and it's on the right before you go over 50. I live on the other side of 50 on the left.
Wow. That's good to know. I'd probably kill myself on something like that anyways.bruiser said:If u try the terrance drops in front of the academy by the severn bridge the cops show up within seconds i went to try it one day and the cops showed up and parked in the parking lot below the steps. the cops actually got out of the car and sat on his hood waiting for me to try it
I drove by and looked at it and I figured as much. There is a new hotel and an new apartment complex.bruiser said:the jumps at best buy are pretty much destroyed and nobody wants to take the time or effort to biuld them up cause of all the contruction thats going on the jumps that are still rideable are probably gonna get bulldozed
Did you go and talk with them? Maybe they just wanted to watch. I doubt it though. Maybe you could have conned them into hitting it just once.bruiser said:If u try the terrance drops in front of the academy by the severn bridge the cops show up within seconds i went to try it one day and the cops showed up and parked in the parking lot below the steps. the cops actually got out of the car and sat on his hood waiting for me to try it
Yep, you're the guy. I had asked about the Bruiser since they sell trek and they said they knew somebody that had one but that they broke it. Near the brake mount right?bruiser said:i used to ride a bruiser but it broke.
