So I just watched the X-games Bike Stunt Park final in LA. Toshi, taking me to the skate park to explore my extreme ramp suckiness has given me a new respect for those guys. Those dudes are insane. 
check it. this is strangely addicting. i should be gone already but i've been playing this

Most of this weekend's pics are by a guest photographer. As a result, there are two rare pictures of me... I didn't let her get away until I got some pics of her too tho.
I'm curious

i like that first pic in the gallery!
in other news i am back from canada, again. north shore was fun despite having all too many drops to flats and too few chairlifts, and whistler was fun despite me burning my hand quite badly on a brake rotor yesterday.
oh, and my D30 stopped working sometime between the shore and whistler

thanks, tim. i think charlie had fun tooTWISTED said:
yo keith, check this out: http://www.pbase.com/rickards/canon_20d . canon 20D? since my D30 is broken and will cost ~$385 to fix i may just pony up for a 20D if it is released in the next few weeks... just to show that this (probably) is not a fake, this 20D image, as of 8:40 pacific time, is hosted on usa.canon.com: http://www.usa.canon.com/templatedata/pressrelease/images/hiRes/HiRes_20D_angle.jpg
I'll pass judgement after I see some specs. That lens looks like it's cool tho 17-85 is a nice range.Toshi said:thanks, tim. i think charlie had fun too

the 10-22 is another fun range for 1.6x crop cameras, judging from how i like my 12-24. too bad it's ef-s so you couldn't use it without modification.WTGPhoben said:

looks like fun, but hows your hand doing? That pic makes it look really bad!
the hand is better, thanks. i had the resulting blisters lanced yesterday by my father and one of his (phyisician) co-workers, and they look and feel much less nasty. the initial pain from that burn was about as intense as any i've felt in my life, including that from breaking my forearm in half, after the shock wore off in that case.
remind me to never drop one glove off the chairlift then ride garbanzo in the future...

i just posted a review of the canfield f1: http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=94862
Nice review.
Ryan, Zane, Brian and I rode Ski Bowl today. Suprisingly we all had a good time, I especially even after flatting the rear, then later flatting the front. I Was skeptical of Ski Bowl's fun factor, but the old nine-five and me had a really good day. Even Petre was nice to me.
You should, if you get a chance, head up there with me. I think your bike should perform very well.

my hand got infected sometime yesterday. started to smell really foul and ooze bloody pus so i went into the emergency room this evening. the doctor there cut off the skin, both dead and alive (ouch!), treated it with a topical antibiotic and gave me painkillers + oral antibiotics. now i look like a proper burn victim, with the whole hand all wrapped up in gauze...

yeaow! :-\ how'd that happen?
In other news, I just got back yesterday from a weeklong adventure in Alaska. Will post pictures as soon as I get them...(which might be a little while due to not being at home because of work.)
ooh, alaska. nice. i look forward to the photographic evidence.
the hand trouble all stems from the second whistler trip. i dropped my glove on the lift on the last day, then burnt my hand on the rear brake rotor in an absurd slow speed crash. i then had it drained 5 days later by my father and one of his colleagues in sterile conditions at the hospital but that was not enough, i guess...

Aha! See...from now on you should just ride up the hill.
but weenie half-finger xc gloves would have been nearly as bad!Quadari said:Aha! See...from now on you should just ride up the hill.
climbing up whistler would be quite the chore, as the two lifts combined span something like 3500 vertical feet iirc.
ink:
so i was about to place my name on onecall.com's 20D waiting list, but it's 95 people long! not cool. i'm going to wait instead for b&h to open up their list in a week or so (they require payment prior to shipment so their list is not popular among those who sign up for every waiting list that they can).
i know, poor me and all but, still... hmph

question of the day:
should i bring my dh bike to med school? or should i leave it at home in the garage and pick it up again come springtime?
reasons to not bring it: my room is of unknown size, roommates are of unknown bike friendliness, i'll be very busy at school and furthermore will have my first 4 saturdays taken up by kaplan training as well. given that ski season will be just a month or two away by the time that's over...

1) i measured myself at 5' 7 3/4" this afternoon, so i've grown 1/4" or so (probably less than how much my spine shrinks in a day!) since high school
2) the broken d30 body is now on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3837728631
3) my unlocked nokia 3650 phone is also on ebay in case you're in the market for a gsm phone: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5718683821
