I'm not core - never was - never will be. 
I sold my bigger bike to a friend who rides dh/freeride with her hubby.
I ride XC, love long epic rides, but lately (guess it's old age or something) I've been more of a fair weather person...and rock climbing is a more frequent activity than riding lately...
So - ya - I post lame stuff, and I don't post much about riding ever...
I prolly shouldn't post on RM anymore either, but it became a bad habit a few years ago.

No, it is a trail *near* there, that maybe 30 people have ever ridden on bikes. And it's legal. It is north of Driggs.kidwoo said:
Blacks is played, Lithium is the new steeze....as well as Crater Lake stunts, and of course Phillips. I live 8.3 miles to the top of the pass...yahoo!
While knowing what's played or not is certainly important, I've only been to jackson sans winter once......and rode black canyon. I just remembered the top kind of looking like that.rideit said:
Did you ever meet a guy named jed colvin?

So's my ability to have a picture taken that makes me look like my eyes point in different directions.
To busy being the voice of reason. I understand....binary visions said:
Jed is/was my next door neighbor. I am looking at his dirt jumps as I type!(under 3 feet of snow)kidwoo said:
Harlan, Josh, Clay, Adrian, those are all bro's.
Sick riders!!
blue said:Is that a steel rockhopper?
Yup -- got it for $50 at a hock shop.
Sorry I never got with you -- I spent all my time up in Park City. Thanks for the invite, though.
I ride with jed all the time. I guess you know he lives here in tahoe now. He told me how protective of those jumps he is.rideit said:
He's coming to jackson next week. I'd love to join him (I still might) but I just got bought out of all my vacation time via a new employer. I'm trying to see if I can fly into idaho falls and get him to pick me up.
You should come down here and pay him a visit this summer.
I mostly ride the Joker, which you know...
And I have the Bridgestone, which I haven't ridden much since m'fest...
And a Fort road bike...
And now the Haro BMX, on which I am just starting to demonstrate my incompetence, mostly in our office up to this point.
I do most of my riding locally, and most of that solo. I enjoy riding with other folks but seldom manage to match up schedules. I like technical riding, particularly low speed balance moves. I also like going downhill fast on rough terrain. I like to crash and usually get away with it (we need that old video clip, jdcamb...).

Id really like to come to the Monkeyfest to meet all you guys one year.
Oh, that was YOU!!! :redhot:lux said:
Haha, jk...wondered what happened to that. No prob.
Just to clarify, those jumps terrify me, and I haven't hit em' since they were babies. Tell jed he is a pigfocker for not walking over and saying Hi, and that I admit that I am one too.
Let's see....last Saturday did a road race then a group training xc ride with the team the next day. Twelve hours of training thru the week.Tomorrow another road race,next Sat is a tt,Sun is a xc race.Following Sun is xc race then a century the following Sunday.The following weekend is xc race at Tsali.So yeah i ride
You would be most welcome.BurlyShirley said:
That's my azonic evolution. I use it for everything: DH, DJ, street/urban riding, and XC trails. I have done 1 DH race (not good) and 1 DS race (2nd place begginner).
Here is a riding thread from not too long ago:

I don't think we need to see that again. Somethings just need to fade away. I would however like to ride with you when your not injured and I am sober.....johnbryanpeters said:
Dude i've been up for 36 straight hours. What's that gotta do with this post and my birthday tomorrow? Absolutely nothing, but it does add an interestingly strange tangent if you ask me....jdcamb said:
Speaking of Burfdays, i'm gonna spend it riding probably in some snow, in the Hobbit like forest of the Olympics. On one of them new fangled All Mountain bikes. Otherwise known to old-skoolers as a downhill bike that pedals well and is light.
Maybe i'll bring a camera.... i think i should....
i ride XC alot, but it's not really a typical XC i suppose, i ride predominately in Washington State, and the coolest ride i've been on? i don't think in that way, all killer rides tend to group together in memory and have a ragin kegger as they all blend together in my fragmented skull.
To summarize... Bikey's is cool!
yup time for some sleep....
Haha! Kidwoo has a lazy eye!!

He would know exactly to whom you refer, Mi Amigo......kidwoo said:"Jed, you know a guy named rideit? Yeah well he says howdy."
For about the past 5 years most of my riding has been purely gravity fed...but since I moved to NZ its been a whole other story. So much single track and sweet places to explore, it brought me back to why I started biking in the first place. Touching huh?
These shots are the lower part of a favorite trail...only about 10 minutes from home too. I love this place...

I ride... mostly April into October and its all XC.
i ride when i can...lately that hasn't been all that much, due to the winter season/crappy weather and the fact that i really dislike nightriding in cold weather.
a good year for me is 6-8 times @ at a DH mountain, and then whatever i can fit in for trail riding (which last year wasn't that much, maybe 8-10 times?). but w/ two young kids and a job, i really don't get out as much as i used to several years ago.

My right nut does the same thing. Keeps things in balance.
It also barks at dogs when they walk by and tries to chase them.
Hey, when you've got an important job, you gotta devote yourselfjdcamb said:
I was riding frequently, but am on a self-imposed hiatus.
want to buy a haro frame?biggins said:
Seriously man, you need a bike again. Im planning on another trip or two to pisgah this summer as well...you might think about calling me back sometime..bastard.
I do! XC/trail, road & DH(but not much DH lately)
see..look at me!
see..look at me!
Doug, that is NOT Green Lakes!
A yeti 575 and a Specialized Roubaix Pro. I typically ride at least 2 times a week in the winter and 4 times a week during the rest of the year.
Normally, I don't post about rides because they are the same go fly around the same old trails for 2 to 2.5 hours. Which to me is just not that interesting. About once a month we make a trip out of town to Pisgah, Virginia or West Virginia. Never take photos on rides because my crew just doesn't. We hardly wait on each for mechanicals. We go to Colorado for a week and we took exactly 3 ride pictures. The rest was pictures of the stupid stuff we saw and did.
Of course if something bizarre or destructive happens then that is something I'm going to bring up. Otherwise I'd rather waste my time being stupid here, which I'm very good at.
Skooks and Shyrmp threads are usually the only ride threads I find interesting as they both are very good photographers and tell good stories. Or if I see a location that I haven't heard about before then I'll take a peak. But in some ride threads I swear to god I see the exact same people riding the exact same trails and if they aren't they might as well be. That's fine some folks dig that and hate the other crap, its the Lounge.
