Cars , trucks , and you'll notice the one with the tarp over it , Bills set up for the evening


There were tents every where



Bills tent may have been very Simplistic, but the award for the best has to go to Bike geek with his Revolutionary war re-enactment tent ( not mentioning the grasshoppers attack )



Justbill and Tammy around camp



who says you can't go the other way around the bridge ?


Hello Bushes !


Fianlly made it in the other direction


Tweek looking ugly! I though he was crashing for sure on this one.

freeriding the cracks of your cranium
so yeah. the bridge did try to kill me. or rather i am an idiot and used the bridge to prove this fact but good. the long and the short of it is that we all need to work our way up to the 4-6 foot drops by practicing on smaller stuff. I went off the end of the bridge and did a beauty nosedive, landed on my neck and shoulders with all my weight and smashed my sunglasses into my left eyelid. I guess I came about as close as you can to being blind in one eye and paralyzed or dead. i'll count my lucky pennies when i get home to Hawaii. I might have to sacrifice them to Pele the Volcano Goddess to try and ensure my continued existence on the planet.

The big bald fella going over the jump is named Kevin and after I took my tumble he, being a chiropractor, told me to ice the crap out of my injuries and stretch as much as possible. I did this and was able to ride Saturday night and Sunday day (12 miles on Sunday) so I'm pretty stoked to be mostly functional. My whole neck and shoulders are still pretty messed up so I'm going to be visiting my orthopedist when I get home next week to make sure I don't have any floating broken bits inside me.

all in all it was a really fun weekend and it was great to meet some monkeys in person. next year JBP and I will have to try and bring a new family member to sacrifice to the stunt gods.

we think his name is Kevin

glad you're feeling better - that looked NASTY!

I agree with the ice - but for the first 24 hours, stretching a cold muscle is like stretching a cold elastic band - SNAP!

Let us know what the doc says!

Here's my first post on this monkey site. I'm a neighbor of Deyv and Isa and was suppose to make it to the MonkeyFest this year, but the work called me outside the country (London, UK, how could I say no?!). I juste hope I can make it next year cause it looks like it was a blast again this year! :thumb:

If it's rideable, i'm on it
Well i guess i might as well come out of hiding and join Stosh as "Sir Leaves Them Hanging". Really i meant to be there but as you will see in another thread i have a reason for doing the "no show".Last years MF's where great :thumb:
This year though i have only been on the Mt. Bike once for about an hour.The rest of the time has been on the road,alot of road this year.Once again glad to see that everyone had a good time and that Echo lost his old title that he had :D Who knows maybe the fall fest if there's one.

Is there any kind of record for earning a custom title with the fewest number of posts.
Somthing good has got to come of this.

LOL! And the funniest avatar too :D

I had a great video of you taking the hard line over the log (and into the log on the ground), but my computer crashed and I think it's lost :(

It wasn't the archery signs that scared me, it was all of the TARGETS we saw in the woods that scared me. :eek:
