That's what she gets for taking her brother's bike.

The inch and I went mountain biking last Saturday. It was great. On the last run I stalled in this technical spot and did the slow motion topple over because my foot was in the toe clips and was also wedged against a berm of moss.

Managed to hit the only rock on the moss berm and drew blood. I felt totes legit after that and had the inch take a photo to prove it.

I know, barely enough to feed a mosquito but it's still blood

It's official the foot is back in the saddle!

He's bleebin', he's bleebin'!!! Somebody hep 'im!

Naw, he's a biker, he don't need no hep.

Now he'll start itching for a new bike.

Itching is one thing, scratching is quite another.

Good old days...

The inch wants me to get a Giant Stance

http://www.singletracks.com/bike-rev...ce-275-2_11126

I gave him the "we'll see"

You know what they say about men with a wide stance in the airport bathroom...

No, what do they say?

They say "You don't get to be a Senator anymore," usually. (Was referring to a scandal about a conservative anti-gay politician who was caught trolling for anonymous gay sex in an airport bathroom. The secret sign was to stick your foot under the stall wall, but his claim was he has a "naturally wide stance" when he takes a public shit.)

Ah, thank you.

Winter is coming...

I guess everything else has been done...

I'd think that rope sling would chafe.

SFW Shibari-cycle!

How many people did it take to get her trussed up? And how many to get her down when she has to pee?

They don't have to get her down, that's why she's wearing goggles.

Hahahaha ew

grim

There was two brothers peeing at the edge of a river. One said the water is cold. The other said, yeah and it's deep too.

My buddy broke his handlebar today. Here is the ride it out trail fix.

I may have made some ground in the get Pete riding again department. She was a roadie but you can't ride the roads here anymore because of the hater factor. She was never comfortable on a mountain bike but I finally talked her into riding my full suspension. It is nowhere near as compliant as a modern all mountain being meant for xc racing but it does take the edge off. She came back stoked. Now I'm looking at modern used FS bikes for her on PinkBike.

Goddamn the pusher man. :lol:

Put some snow tires on that and she won't have to walk all those miles through the snow...

Don't want her missing work!

Downhill...

Or go fly a kite...

That had to be computer generated. No human can do that.
edit: the Dan Atherton thing

Griff and Red Bull could do it! Griff Griff Griff!

Oh, and Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Me and Danny.

That's ridiculous

Insane.

Beautiful.

after that video are suggested videos including this one that then suggests several others that show how they put together that whole video.

I thought this was cool though. Shows that he's human.

Is that a parachute on his back? :lol:

Bag of lead shot.

He looks like Carson Wentz

He does comedy as well.

I'm betting he didn't buy that bike at walmart.

Santa Cruz does not make a Walmart quality bike.

Awesome, thanks!

I realize this sounds kinda weird, but that video reminds me of the sub-two-second F1 pit stop performance. 99 things have to go right, all at the same time, all at ludicrous speed, and the stakes are mortal danger. WTF. Except this guy has to do all 99, for 8 minutes, or he dies a painful death.

related question, why are only five or six trees deemed hazardous enough to wrap in wrestling mats? What makes *them* so much scarier that the other 9000 spinal injury sites?

I don't know shiboopy about this stuff but look at the angles and suspension on this bike. It is truly built for this kind of horsing around.

Bet that's more than $79.95. :rolleyes:

Oh and 29" wheels and the human brain/ time dilation...

and the apparent fact that it is incapable of falling over. maybe it's a wheeble.

A lot of mountain biking is going fast enough to maintain the gyroscopic effect.

You mean like trusty number twelve there in post #944?

Embedded, sharp bicycle parts? Blood? Teeth? Skull fragments?

Close call...

Halfbike looks brutal to me, like a mobile Thighmaster. :eek:

Or the stairclimber from Hell.

I'd bet that that thing will make you sore in places you didn't know you had places.

Looks like it would tip over forwards really easily. No likey.

Sponges are the secret to barefoot pedaling...

I wonder if they can ride up too?

Climbing is right out due to the drop. Years ago guys built a series of these North Shore features called Area 51 at a local place but the DEC tore them down.

Bike fixin fairy...

Great ride this am. A little rain so I'm cold and wet. I'm still running rim brakes so a bit of fade in that department. Wet leaves can be a trick but we hammered today. Time to change into dry colthes.
