Fuck directly off mate
Seriously tho, that looks like an insanely fun time. How'd ya do?
Ah mate that sucks. How long off the bike?Fuck directly off mate
Seriously tho, that looks like an insanely fun time. How'd ya do?
I did better than I expected actually. Firmly mid-pack in the 19-39 category and beat my younger riding mates, which I'm happy with given I was the oldest guy in the category and I had a month off the bike in November due to emergency appendectomy.
Next year I'm in the Masters field so keen to go back and aim for a top 10.
this makes me sad to realize that i’d have been in the “masters” category for 6 years...where is the “old-ass hacks” category when you need it???

Try it now!
Hellz yeah my bogan compadre! Thats a fine result in the whipper snapper league, especially given your month off the bike. I'm getting this (fucking) cast off Monday, so I am stoked about being able to self-pleasure with my right hand again...may even get some wine and candles out for the big day.
How far up your arm does that shitty thing go? Over the elbow? Hope it doesn't.
Thankfully its just about halfway down my forearm. Truth be told, I think if I hadda just iced the shit out of it, worn a really good wrist brace for a few weeks, I could've been convinced it was just a bad sprain. Not that it mattered much anyway, as the weather in these here parts has been fantastically shitty, so we've been building trail and doing maintenance - and hell, my dinged wing has left all the hard trail corridor clearing work to @SuboptimusPrime , so my lower back was spared moar morning stiffness
Looks like fresh trail! Can't wait to actually ride ours...
It was, but that is an old pic. Ha, I am underwater here today just like you are. Damn Waterworld. That pic was taken from a trail I built in our woods behind our house. Having a kid and having trails close by comes in handy for sure.
Nice! I've got a home trail as well but since I cut it in, it's been unrideable most of the time due to rain and bullshit weather. I cut the damn thing in 1.5 years ago. FML
Ooo look, a Krona.It is spring here in Sweden, the trails are dry and the sun is shining!
Me earlier today

This happened today while doing a bit of a shakedown before dropping in at the Dos Huecos Enduro track in Tandil:
Hit a rock hidden by bushes with my right pedal while standing up to sprint and went full tomahawk.
Luckily no consequences, apart from a totally obliterated ego.

Robust. Glad you’re all good. Looks horrible!This happened today while doing a bit of a shakedown before dropping in at the Dos Huecos Enduro track in Tandil:

Thanks! The gif makes it all look faster and harder than it was. The Rallón has a pretty low BB so every time I feel a pedal strike I kinda prepare myself to go suborbital.

Feeling the need to vindicate myself and show I have abilities beyond keeping the crash rate of my crew in the two digit range, here goes another pic.

Fat guy on the left, trying to keep it low for the pass.
Good new is I got him - pass in the air FTW.
Bad news is I did not scrub the extra speed so went high in the corner and the fucker got me on the inside.

Yes Sir, good eye on ya. I was wondering if you were going to catch that.
short course?? long course was a big day; was out for 6 hrs. didn't help that i rode everything blind, but had good fun regardless of shitty lines everywhere. really need to ride there more often.
Yeah. Long booked up fast! Abut of a relief
I rate blind racing. Mainly because I'm terrible at remembering lines anyway so it levels the field a bit against people that have heaps of time to practice. Of course, certain courses are total death if you tried to race them blind.
adds to the adrenaline factor for sure (there were a few gnar pitches on course). doesn't contribute to quick times, alas. locals certainly have an advantage.
What age categories are you guys in? 40-49?
Short course only went to 40+
Cheers. Was wondering how old the other monkeys are. Also, I see comments online saying "ridemonkey is still a thing?"
RUX IT NAO!!!!1!1!1!1!1Based on the amount of travel I used, I may need a Rux for teh huxz
where you riding?
Local to the 919, but its in a secret realm. Can't tell ya, but will show ya when you're up this way next.
