I was thinking about that skiBASE jump I witnessed the other day and morbidly fascinating about plummeting to death at the bottom of the Silver Legacy. But that’s the worst case scenario there. Maybe the absolute worst is that you crash into a spectator and take him/her out too. That would be bad. Still the probable outcomes are such that Shane McConley et. al. still go for stuff like that because the general consequences are limited. That’s pretty much the same reason any of us do any of the seemingly risky things we do from hitting the jump @ the Radio towers to dropping a chute we know could avalanche.
Here’s a little video that illustrates that kind of thinking on, let’s say, a GLOBAL scale…
Check out this video featuring Rep. McHenry (R, NC) demonstrating a crystal clear understanding of a truly thoughtful and intelligent inclusion into the Dem. sponsored energy bill.
Lots to say about this one. Well, this guy may be fabulously clueless, but at least bikes have this pork-farm-subsidized crony feeling threatened. It’s about damn time.
We are inundated with smoke and riding anywhere near here is not recommended due to paticulates in the air. So, instead of riding my bike I’m thinking about bike riding and looking at some stuff from earlier in the year. So, here are a couple of short videos for your viewing pleasure.
This first one is from my Bachelor Party Weekend in Southern Utah. This was a fun little section on the Little Creek Mesa trails.
After I returned from my honeymooon I joined a friend in Big Bear to do some lift-assisted riding and we tried to find all the stunts we could. I’m not sure they are on the trail maps, but they sure were fun. The first is a nice log ride. It took me two tries to ride the log, but my dismount was lacking. Oops.
The final one is a little log jump that was set up at the start of another trail. It was pretty fun. I like getting air between my tires and the ground.
I hope everyone else is getting out and riding their bikes.
Something recently made me think of this AWESOME video from the early 1980’s. Got to love this, and with the older, wiser ear, detect subtle truths we can still take to heart…
They say it takes 30 days to form a habit. That’s neither here nor there, but it seems to take nearly that many cultural references before I open Youtube and type in “Flight of the Conchords.”
I still don’t know what they’re talking about, but it’s shit-ton better than whathefuckever was on the idiot box last night. What are we going to call the internets when it’s the preferred background to an evening of zoning out?
There you go Trent, some new content from our sausage boiling friend with Bike Parts to sell.
The folowing was filmed at the TMCC Ski Building Class of Wednesday last. It shows Japhy Rider and Grislybikegeek extricating Taldor from a tight spot.
