You could always go the Bender route and just start hucking yourself off stuff that the bikes aren't made for yet... ;)

SW has the same bike. It ain't the bike. The night rides start again in a couple of weeks. Bring the green Evil and poke fun of the Beav and I'll try to muzzle SW.

Where do you guys ride at night? I hate when it starts getting dark early, but at least that's what they make lights for ;)

Just take some notes from me, Illinois has taught me alot on how to ride. :think:

Maybe even move there... far far away from me and you'll get some mad skills from riding where it's flat! ;)


Oh and Matt when are you finally getting up to Bham? School is starting soon for you right? I need lots of people to ride with, cause I'm running outa mtbr's that can ride when I can... no one ever has time during the week :help:

If you really want some riding lessons I'd be happy to help you out. I'm no big time pro, but I do alright (except skinnies, I suck at skinnies).
I did a map quest search but still couldn't find Hippieville, maybe I misspelled it. hmmm. I'm in Portland, I thought this place was hippy ville. :D

i started on a bmx...and still have one.
Just have to get out and ride it more.
and a lot of my trail riding is on a SS hardtail.
i think it's just natural selection that has my talent cramped...that and a lack of big brass balls. :monkey:

Hey Kai.
Since Bibs clinic isn't going to happen, maybe we could just get some people who want to add to there riding skills together and do a clinic that way. We will just do it for fun, and it won't cost a dime! I would be more than happy to give you some pointers. But my advice to you is, ride with people who are far better than you and pretty soon before you know it , your right there with them. :thumb: It worked for me. (thanks bart!)

Who said I quit? I got hurt and couldn't finish the WIM series(oh' darn!). But I didn't quit. :angry: That was my little bro, Tige. :nope: I have been riding every weekend up in Canada. Maybe we could hook up next time I come up?

I've seen him ride! Trust me he needs all the help he can get! I hope that 150 bucks he has to spend will be enough to get you out up to him....

I mean I've tried to teach him, but I keep loosing him on the trail... the little bugger gets lost in the woods wandering around picking flowers.

Huh?

I could help teach because I don't have any natural talent. I had to learn how to ride well at a fairly old age. There are some pro guys out there puting on clinics, but a lot of these guys have natural talent and were great riders when they were little kids. I think it might be tough for them to relate to people starting out.
I'd like to help out, thanks,
Tim

hey if you all (Kim, Bibs, etc) are looking at doing a camp for a decent price let me know, I can probably get a good crew from our team to show up assuming price/time and location work well!

OK, Bibs the ball is in your court. :nuts: Come up with an idea and lets see if we could get a clinic together. I like the idea you had for location, and we could still get some shwag for everyone. :) :) We would just eliminate the YMCA. I still have some stuff from DC I have been hanging on to, and I could call Chris from Azonic to get some stuff. I think there is enough interest to still put something together. Give me a call at home.

Man, are you sure you are only picking flowers out there? Not something like a mushroom, cause you gotta be on some good sheet when we are riding to think you are actually ahead of me ;)

And what's all this speak of a camp? I'm in depending on costs, time and location....

Or I could even help haul gear to it. I have a big enclosed trailer 6x12 if that would help out.

Yeah...guess what. Whistler (the shop that gets my springs) sends orders mondays...so I get my spring on wednesday. Definately going to be undersprung for monday. Fine on the trails (rubber side down) but I was bottoming it on a 3 foot drop in the pit by my house.

Much cheaper than marz though so I am quite happy about that. Every part has been cheaper than marz parts haha
