How pissed was that one guy gonna for the gigantic charley horse he got from that knee?

it makes more sense for bike cop's to be riding burly hardtails to me, so they can bunnyhop and drop things that those trek grandma bikes cant handle. I mean the cars are tricked out, the gear is tricked out, but the bikes? they are weak sauce.

Yeah, but its a lot easier to press the gas pedal a little harder than it is to learn how to bunnyhop and drop things. Plus, it would probably bring up insurance issues, and cop insurance already must be a headache!

are you landing on the second set of stairs in that picture?

yup, barely. first week on that bike and i was still trying to dial in the shock. it felt like a sponge that day and i couldn't get much boost off of it. my back tire landed smack dab on the top stair of the second set.

check my tire in this pic
