It may shock the Bacon Strip readers who don’t know me, but I am in fact a chicken shit. One of these days my mom will find the shot of me getting way more air than i ever wanted when I was 9 on the bike path in Denver. My dad built me a ramp, but I was too chicken to hit it.
Any way, this stone wall has been bugging me since we moved into the neighborhood some 8 months ago or so. For Turkey day, For the Bacon Strip, for the hellofit: The turkey challenge, redux…
Hope your day is tryptophantastic!!!

are you throw’n down the steinlet, or are you jus holdin out? how about jumpin’ up to it from below? if i remember correctly, there’s a bit of a kicker from where the pics were taken… how to get the speed? maybe a tow-in?

ps- hope your Thanksgiving was good, and that you’re already planning the next bigolbikeride.
I’ll update with action pics in the morning. After I recover.
tow-in my ass. (that was gayer than i intended)

that a vulture? steve, coconino cycles. also, recent frame build documented on my blog. enjoy! steve.
Maybe Sunday if you havn’t nutted up I’ll come down and hold yer’ hand ’till you get ‘er done.
Shawn,
When I first saw the post you hadn’t done it yet, or you hadn’t posted the picture. Now I gotta come over and show you how to get up it. Can I get enough speed and clear it from the kicker Japhy was talking about? Mayby we’ll build a little ramp, now that I know how much you like those. If we can’t jump it we’ll trials it.
Peace out,
nice huck! i hope those curvey bars stayed put on the landing…
wait, who took the pic? did you do that with a timer on your camera, or did you teach Juni to take action shots?
say, got any plans for a grudge match on that Wellington overlander?
Not yet, but James (the grissly dude in the pics of the drop-outchopjob) said he’s have a can of “Top-notch” noname vodka tonik for me.
Sounds like saturday should be another urban freeride morning… I’ll make french toast and coffee.
definately trialsable. Not so much of a kicker though. Just enough to let you clear the wall but leave your bike behind.
My dad took that pic and I had to drop it another 10 times to get it.
still need more practice.
There’s also a little court there for fixie backward circles. Got a blackened toenail from that already…
