Oly, come down Saturday to check out the Red Bowl Flutag, ride around and relive the memories. Sounds like you lived a crazy life.






Just playin' with you, hope to see you soon.

 

[TWISTED]

Toshi, I couldn't quite get the Zen together for Thad. Still a few little parts short like front v-brake and bosses, cable, and housing, rim tape, and I can't find the levers.
I'll try to give you a call from work, you can leave me a PM.
See ya

 

[Toshi]

thanks for the effort, but i'm sure he'll think my fully rigid xc bike is the lap of luxury. after all, before the blur he was on a cannondale

btw i am disconnecting my cable modem now, so call me: 509 989 1755. otherwise let's meet at the exit 17 ta truck stop at 4:00.

Man you have no Idea how nice it is to hear someone else call PCC Harvard on the hill...you should fully come down for the FLugtag...

So who else is going to go watch this amazing show on Sat. ? I'm thinking Flugtag then some urban or whatever, we should all just meet up and go ride somewhere... Tim sounds like you're in now who else...

 

[frizanko]

Sounds good to me . what time and where do you guys want to meet up downtown?

 

[Get_Some]

well Frank I'm thinkin we could meet up at the zoo p-lot, do a bomb down to the waterfront, watch the Flugtag, go ride some **** then Max it back up and maybe do a bomb or two more...

 

[frizanko]

Right on. what time @ the Zoo?

 

[zane]

Ryan and I were thinking about doing PC on saturday, any takers? We'd need someone else with a vehicle for the shuttling situation to work out.

 

[eknomf]

Toshi - did you guys ever go out to PC today? I was at the truckstop for quite a while and no one ever showed up.

 

[Get_Some]

Right on. what time @ the Zoo?

DUnno, I'm going out drinking tonight hehehe so I'll be rough, but I'm down for whatever, call me cause I'm headed out for 40's currently

anybody know when the thing starts???? so maybe like 10Am, 11 possibly...

 

[Get_Some]

come down to P-town and go the Flugtag followed by some urban etc.

 

[TWISTED]

Sorry about that Ryan. Toshi's car wouldn't hold three bikes. We tried for a long time to get them loaded, then it got late. Toshi doesn't have Zane's cell number, I don't know if Zane has Toshi's, and my phone is broken. It was about 5:30 when Toshi and Thad finally left my place. I'm not sure where they were headed but I think they were done riding for today.
Toshi's rigid xc mtb to me, doesn't seem the optimal choice for riding the stunt and drop ladden trails of Post Canyon.

Flugtag
I hear the first drop is at 1:00 pm but the event gets under way at 11:00 am or so.
I often meet up with people for rides at the fire station on the east side waterfront between the Morrison and Hawthorne bridges. It is near the event. There are obstacles to ride on, plenty of parking, and good scenery.

 

[eknomf]

come down to P-town and go the Flugtag followed by some urban etc.

We are still planning on PC i think. Flugtag wont be bike friendly... I doubt they will even let bikes in. Plus it will be way too crowded to ride much street stuff. So who else wants to come out to Post Canyon? We need one more car/truck for easy shuttling, but we will have a trailer.

 

[Toshi]

sorry, ryan! phone + car + bike mixups made for no riding. (and then my road bike came off the rack at 60 mph just 2 hours ago to complicate things even more)

 

[TWISTED]

My phone mysteriously started working again.
I'm heading out to the Newberg BMX track / dirt jumps / skatepark tomorrow, sunday, with a guy from work and maybe some other people. It's like the biggest track and the biggest skatepark around.
Anyone else want to go?

 

[TWISTED]

newberg
Heading out there right away.

 

[TWISTED]

That was the most fun I've had on a bike in a long time.
Anyone who wants to become a better rider should try to make it out to a good bmx track like this one. My single speed hardtail worked perfect. I was clearing all the big doubles and flowing through the long rythym section fast and smooth by the end of the day. Excellent practice for mountainbiking.

 

[zane]

Ryan hasn't said anything about this yet, so I will. PC on saturday was good, except for me falling and smashing my nuts pretty bad halfway through the day..... It was dusty and warm but fun, until ryan broke his chain. A trip into hood river solved that problem.

We met up with some guys from nelson, canada, towards the end of the day- a dad, his son and his son's friend (sorry, I forgot their names. Ryan- do you remember?). They had no idea where the good PC stuff was so we took them up for a full ONT to drop zone run and to frankenstein. Needless to say, the dude's son was flat ripping it up. He pulled damn near EVERYTHING on XChorus, Egghunt, GP and frankenstein FIRST TRY, most of it without even walking down to the stunt to look at it. He also hucked that huge drop to wood platfrom at the end of egghunt like 3 times, each time bigger than before. The amazing thing was finding out he was only 14! (he had been riding for 6 years, and it showed). He looked like 16, but his dad said otherwise. Crazy stuff, but it's always fun to show people around and see how they adapt to new terrain. It was a fun day, and I'll be good to ride again in a week or so.

 

[zane]

Tim- did you get to ride the newberg skatepark at all? They're the biggest anti-bike-nazis around, but if you can sneak in a run or two it's well worth it.

 

[frizanko]

So whats the plan for this weekend? last weekend sucked since we couldnt get anything organized. Anyone have ideas for Sat. & Sun. ?

Why would I want to? That BMX track kicks ass! They don't allow bikes in the skatepark. They said pegs screw up their coping. I said, Uh, what pegs? Kevin rode the skatepark most of the time we were there (on a borrowed skateboard). He looked a bit ragged on the track, in my opinion he could have used the practice.
I had a great weekend of riding.

 

[TWISTED]

How about this weekend riding Camas. Leadbetter, Cold Creek, and Jones Creek?
I haven't been to Leadbetter in months.

 

[zane]

Um, maybe next weekend. I'm camping in port angeles this weekend (it's SUPPOSED to be nice weather....). It's gonna be muddy as sh!t up at jones creek, but it'd definitely be an interesting ride.

 

[TWISTED]

I'd like to head out to Newberg again sat. or sun. Anyone else want to hit the bmx track on their ht's?

 

[frizanko]

What about Dogwood park in Cornelius? The picks you put up of that place a while back looked sick. BTW what HT?
I liked your first thought... Ledbetters/ Jones creek combo... Ive never been out to Jones creek so deffinately want to check it out soon. My phone is dead... So post here or send me a PM..

You can borrow my hardtail if we went to Newberg. There were four of us all riding my bike. That place tires you out in a hurry. Again I cannot say how much fun that place is. Total supercross
Dogwood Park in Cornelious is fun, was there not too long ago. Looks the same as in those pics.
Does Jeremy want to ride? I'll probably need a ride (no car).
Anybody else want to ride? I'll go wherever but have been to Post Canyon to many times recently. Camas would be fun so long as it doesn't rain too much.

 

[eknomf]

I might be up for the newberg bmx track or something tomorrow. I hace to get my stuff ready for whistler too though so id want to ride in the morning to maybe mid afternoon and take it relitively easy. Or if people want to do something closer to town like larch mountain and maybe jones creek sounds kind of fun.

 

[TWISTED]

Sweet.
You could ride your hardtail tomorrow and save your Scream for Whistler and the shore.
I'm up for whatever you guys decide as long as someone comes and gets me.

 

[frizanko]

Sweet.
I could ride your hard-rail tomorrow and Scream for more .
I'm up for a reamin, you guys better be long and someone better have 9.5 inches of rear travel.

Lets ride Jones Creek or Ledbetters ... Or both!

 

[TWISTED]

Lets ride Jones' Cock and listen to Led Zepplin ... Or take a bath together!

Sure, Frank. Does Jeremy or anyone else from Portland want to ride and come pick me up?

 

[TWISTED]

Sweet.
You could ride my hard rail tomorrow and save your Screamin' for Whistler and the whore.
I'm up for whatever you guys decide as long as someone comes and gets me in the behind.

How's that?

 

[frizanko]

Aight then. we're roshammin whos gonna cum get ya from behind in the morning. Or maybe we'll have to bring in the ol' fingercuffs on ya.

 

[eknomf]

how about larch and then jones creek or leadbetter... Id really like to do a few shuttles on the normal larch trail with my hardtail.. not the freeride stuff. Then we could go to one of the other spots.

 

[frizanko]

Sorry guys, but I gotta vent... I just picked my Bronco up from the shop yesterday and it just died again. So Tim I wont be pickin ya up today, and I doubt I'll be able to ride... At least not untill I get it runnin again. Dammit, I'm so frustrated right now. Anyway, if I get it taken care of soon I'll give ya a call... I might still try to hit Ledbetters later.

 

[gunslingger]

finally....i actually went to whistler for a few days so my bike has been dusted off. anyone riding this weekend? i have decided to stop being a puss!

 

[eknomf]

What days were you in whistler? toshi, charlie, and i were up there weds through friday. Im up for riding whereever this weekend. There are also some people going to post canyon this wednesday if anyone wants to come.

Here are some pictures of tim riding yesterday, although they didnt turn out very well.
