I drink and have a bike riding problem. I don't think I'm a newb. New to this site but been riding MTB's since '09 so in most of you all's eyes I guess I'm still new; been riding bikes for transport since '06. Anything else you want to know just ask.
definite newb status. i've been riding bikes since '96.

not that it matters. we all make fun of each other.

I'm rather old. I've been riding for over 50 years and building trails for just under 50 years. I live off the land (trust me, that's work) and I cheat death on a regular basis.
I now spend all my time building trails and riding bikes. In a previous life, I've been there and done that.
Wait, are you totally off teh grid? Do you live in an earthhome? Because that would be cool.

Trail Ninja is the man...I am sure he has sculpted more earth than us all combined. My favorite pic from "over there" is your pic of all your trail tools! A man with skills, ideas, visions, and the talent to make it come to life...

Think even more minimalist ;)
In a cave? Because that would be cool too. I used to live in a tent in the snow so I could get first chair every morning for a few winters, but then I got knocked up by a ski instructor and moved out of the tent :)

its a figure of speech.



I'd like to recommend a new custom title... "town ski lift" :busted:
Oh Jeebus.

Even more off the grid than that. If I needed a house, I'd certainly consider an earthhome. I like the idea of living underground. temperature regulation and all.
Earth homes are pretty fvcking rad. After the kid graduates, hubby and I plan to retire into a van, but when it's time to retire the van... I'd love to live in one of those.

Your hammock has the Internets?
Most of the planet has the internet. It's just floating around in the air.:D
At the moment I'm recovering from a nasty bout of cancer and I'm living indoors. I've been inside for about a year. I was in a hospital for 7 months and I'm in a house in Southern Ontario now. I'll be back home in the forest on Vancouver Island next week. I can still get internet access there but I'm usually too busy to spend much time on it.

What the ****? I go away for two hours and **** looks all weird in here. Did we get pruned again? I'm so lost in this thread. Hi everyone from here I didn't say hi to. Thanks for having us. Just a friendly heads up, I'm drinking Evan Green and haven't eaten today. I may get weird...and belligerent.

But he will gladly clean up any mess he makes and repair any damage.
You really should eat Monz.:thumb:

No pruning, that's just how we roll.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

I did get pruned, by the way. My "opinions..." comment is gone. I have a feeling a lot of me is gonna get the chop 'round these parts.
Could be worse Monzie. They probably won't "Hutch" you here.

I like to look after Monzie. He's like the crazed son I never had. I had 2 other crazed sons.

^ Were skirt lines the cause for Evan green's appearance today?
If so, then the marinade will work. To offset the bitter follow it up with a gulp of maple syrup.
For even saturation, after every 3rd shot - stand up & spin around in opposite directions.
We'll then roast you on the next group camping trip.

Sticks in butts. I even had a play nice white text in there. C'est la vie.

Flyin', I been marinating so long I'm more marinade than person at this point; and I mean life not tonight. Though the whiskey is gone now and I have beer on the way. I'm 'bout to get ****ered up. I'll clean but I'll not apologise.

Ninja, I prefer "Canadian English" as it were and perhaps you can tell.

Your are Canadian? You must know Drunken Ninja?
