I'm gonna be in Colorado until about the first of the year and then I will be back and free to play as well. We should meet up in Kenter for sure at least, and possibly hit some other trails and jumps. I really want to go explore around socal and see at least what other jumps there are around.

[Li'l Dave]

Are you ready for round 2 Rocky Peak? :D

Me and a buddy are going to do a warm up run down Humming bird then hit the other trail starting around 11:30 or so tomorrow.

Let me know if you're up for it.

[marlopez]

Man that sucks :dead: I was just going to see what was happening for this weekend.

Anyone else riding?

[redical]

That sucks Mario! You have just been plagued with injuries. Did you try jumping the rhythm like I did?

[marlopez]

ya i was looking forward to riding kenter this weekend. try to get a hold of Alloy and ride rocky peak with him. you will like it for sure. its youre kind or riding w/ lots of big jumps for DH bikes


That sucks Mario! You have just been plagued with injuries. Did you try jumping the rhythm like I did?

ya well i was doing it fine. doubling every double in it continuously. but the last time i was going way too fast and i really over shot the table and sorta got air off the roller after it. then when i landed i was immediately thrown in the air on the step up and i did a massive endo and flipped over and landed on my head and shoulder. i got a little concussion too.

[SDminitrucker]

I go to Cal Poly, so i'm down for some riding

That sucks Mario, I'm sorry to hear you're back on the injured list.

On the plus side when your back in riding shape we should have some more good trails for you. So far I've heard talk of 2 more DH runs in the works, It should be pretty cool.

Heal up fast

Email some of what you've been riding up there.

i thought i had to be a racer and some **** to be a wheelman

[marlopez]

nah you dont have to. its cool to just meet people through the club. but once you join you might want to race b/c its fun and collegiate is really laid back theres no pressure.

[AggieRacer]

yea, race collegiate. Its all about drinking beers, riding bikes, racing cheap, camping in some dudes back yard in chico and lots of other fun stuff. I highly recommend it.

[SDminitrucker]

i need to learn to ride better. i just got a DH bike a week ago and havent ridden mountain bikes in 2 years. i've been riding every day for the last 2 weeks though.

[AggieRacer]

take note: knowing how to ride is not a prerequisite for having the time of your life. From my experience, the collegiate race weekend is about 10% physical, and 90% social. Youll get the skills eventually, but in the end, its more about having a good time which requires very few skills.

Not if you're Rabie or Pegboy!!! Hucking is the measurement of fun.
