Do you normally brake like that with your middle fingers?

Yup, I always have.........that could be the reason I'm so slow.

Is that ladder portable? I saw it on top of the car in that album.

 

[airwalkrob]

yes it is .

 

[skyboss]

A few from wilson last week.

 

[manimal]

mmm, wilsons.. i think it's time i take noah out there to shuttle headley's a few times.

 

[skyboss]

Headley is wide open as is raider, raspberry and greentown. But don't try little fork until it gets some serious attention with a chainsaw after mondays
winds or last thursdays storms, I'm not sure which.
There's a fall down every forty yards, no kidding.

 

[manimal]

cool, i didn't plan on taking the lil guy down anything other than headley...although i did just install a magura hydro rim brake on the rear which allows him to do more controlled one-fingered braking instead of the 4 fingered grip he was used to.

a few from tanglewood last night. there was a minimal turnout due to a state race in SC.

funny pic showing how outgunned noah is in the 8 rookie class (in regards to height/weight)

he pulled out a 2nd place last night and got the holeshot on 2 of the 3 motos

he's learning the smooth is fast very well and his endurance to the end of the track has picked up dramatically. me thinks he really likes this bmx stuff

we need some more locals to come out on sat's, i'm getting tired of racing the same 4 or 5 guys in cruiser class.

 

[manimal]

teaser pic for some new stuff in the region. mum's the word for now.

 

[airwalkrob]

OMG!!! that looks like all kinds of FUN....

 

[skyboss]

uhh, DUDE!

Milkman's baby?

I've had some of the best races and worst crashes at Tanglewood. (Sniffle).

 

[manimal]

Milkman's baby?

the thought has crossed my mind....i mean, my 5 yr old is 28lbs

but for being a small kid, he's trained well

[Nc Bo]

Hey guys, it has been raining in Bend for the past week so the trails here are perfect.. amazing what water does in the desert! here is sequence that Mo took this past Monday. Bo

 

[JohnBoy]

That **** looks sweet!

 

[Mulestar]

Shot of one of the (seriously) smoother/easier rock sections on a trail I've been working on.

a couple non-bike shots since I haven't got anything else recent. My parking lot rainy evening.

Climbing near grandfather mtn.

Linville gorge.

looks sweet

 

[manimal]

step-up at the lake. that place gets DARK after 7pm, especially when there's a storm approaching. my camera's little flash couldn't handle it very well and i was shooting blind. oh well....i think it looks pretty cool anyway, he almost cleaned it...just needs a little more speed

from last week. moser (dickiesbike1) showing his "o" face coming up REALLY short on a transfer

[Mulestar]

Wooohooo...finally some riding shots. Nothing too great photo-wise but just got done with a killer 3 days of riding. I hope everybody else found something to do other than 26 west.

ben in the rocks, check out that flying rock.

The biggest rock cairn I've ever seen, found on a ride in wilsons on saturday.

 

[JohnBoy]

We saw all kinds of crazy rock piles out there Saturday too.

 

[bizutch]

props to Ben for Qualifying at the US Open too!

Tyler Williams has a lost brother in that kid.

 

[demolition dave]

ben in the rocks, check out that flying rock.

Cool shot!

I could be wrong, but I think that bike just got busted committing adultrey..................

 

[manimal]

i found a sweet place at the lake to practice some of those b-e-a-utifil flat turns like mulestar so aptly documents out there in booneland.

noah learning flat, fast, turns (2nd try)

he says he wants to look like this

are mulestar and i the only ones taking pics these days? geez, this feels like the "manimal pic thread" lately....i guess i'm the only one getting off my bike to take pics while everyone else is just riding on by
