in other news, TWISTED, ekmonkf (sorry if misspelling it), zane and i had a great time up in post canyon today. tim managed to break his frame on the second hit of the day so graciously drove shuttle duty, ryan loaned me his front wheel, and all helped out at the start of the ride when my evil was switched from a rigid, brakeless, single speed urban machine to a huckarific downhill hardtail, replete with monster t, huge tires, and even brakes. imagine that
. thanks!in riding news, it was a bit wet so some wooden obstacles were slippery, but on the whole the place was very rideable and very fun. also, ryan was ripping it up on his new/used scream w/'03 monster up front. and, in personal riding news, my '01 monster t didn't bottom out or dip into its last 1" of travel even on the (big for me) lower gp drops. props to marzocchi. if only it didn't send my handlebars to the sky...
gotta ride. :eviltongu
does anyone have a link to the thread where i posted pics of my evil with various forks? i can't find it now. maybe it has been deleted on this new server. in any case, here is how it looks with a 175mm (just looked it up, not 170mm) '01 monster T
Toshi- I didn't think you'd post that either, but then again you actually seemed to like that setup by the end of the day. Oh- cool picture too, those front knobs look gnarly on the wall!TWISTED said:Ha ha ha, just kidding. I didn't expect you to show anyone that thing.
Good riding with all of you, and thanks again to tim for shuttle duties.
Good to hear your surgery went well.. hopefully you'll be riding again soon. You should come hit PC with us sometime once your all healed up.Mallet said:
Toshi, Tim, Zane - Good riding with you all... that was probably one of my best days at PC yet. Thanks for the shuttling Tim.
BAH!!!!!!!!!!! Toshi why have you been riding the Z1 all this time, you've been needing the monster more...CREACKToshi said:does anyone have a link to the thread where i posted pics of my evil with various forks? i can't find it now. maybe it has been deleted on this new server. in any case, here is how it looks with a 175mm (just looked it up, not 170mm) '01 monster T
bet you didn't bottom that sucker eh...Man I'm pissed I missed out on the ride this weekend...I didn't get to ride at all, and to make matters worse, I have a Wildland Firefighter Re-Cert class this weekend in Roseburg for 4 days (leaving Friday afternoon) so no trails for me again :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:
Then after that, I have no idea how long it'll be till I get called up, might be a few days, might be a month, man I need to get on the 4x4, she's downstairs looking lonely eh...poor baby :eviltongu
I didn't even know about the race. I raced the last ski bowl downhill race, you would think that if the promoters and sanctioning body wanted people to show up for their races they would send out schedules or e-mails to the racers. When I signed up to race I had to list my address etc. like three times, I gave them my e-mail too.GFXRACE said:
I don't get it. I grew up in Portland, been riding bikes here 29 years (bmx then mtb) and it seems like you have to be in some kind of click just to hear about races. Why aren't there race flyers posted at every bike shop in town? Hell, post them at Fred Meyers and Wal Mart too.
It looks like the only racing I'll be doing is at Whistler, they advertise all over the place.
Does anyone have plans for riding this weekend? Id like to go out to PC again either earlier saturday or anytime sunday.
i just found out that i have things to do sunday.. but i can ride all day saturday until 6 or 7ish. Looks like saturday is suposed to be the best weather out in hood river anyways so maybe we can ride some more of the logs this time. Anyone else want to ride?
I really want to ride, but I'm screwed for this weekend - f&#kin army reserves.... But, I have NO SCHOOL next week! That means I can ride until 4 or 5 every day, so anyone else who can ride let me know (I'll give you a call eknomf- we can ride larch or some local stuff or maybe even make a quick PC trip...). Hope everyone has fun this weekend.
I'm down with PC today if anyone still wants to go. Otherwise I'll hit Washington Park, Tabor or other urban. Tomorrow I'm gonna build/ride at some trails I've never been to.
But I DEFINITELY wanna ride PC next Friday during the day, before the Collective premiere. Anyone else in?

That's where I usually meet people. I'll try to get Kevin to show up. :mumble: :dancing:
I have to work so I can't rock the urban, but are you guys free this weekend? Ryans not going to canada and we're riding PC on friday, but I wanna ride this weekend too. Hows about PC on saturday or sunday?
I think there are at least four of us planning to ride PC on Sunday.zane said:
Does anyone know if the collective premire will be for 21 and over? I'm not 21 but I still want to go...
Hahaha....TWISTED said:Karen can say you're her son.neaky:
Just kidding Karen. :love:
Freakin lame, i called savino's and they are 21 and over all the time, including the collective premire. Oh well, I'm still riding PC on friday morning.
i can officially ride... nothing.TWISTED said:Had fun rippin' around downtown with Toshi and my friends Kevin (lil' kevster), and Shane from work. Showed them some fun lines.
Others are invited next time.
oh well. that "downhill trials" section is fun, i'll have to go back thereDoes anyone know what the snowpack on Hood is like? Specifically on the lower mountain below T-line. Ive been itchin to hit the Glade trail lately and I'm hoping it'll be good to go soon. T-lines website says 121 inches, but I'm guessing thats up on Palmer, not at the lodge.
Anyone else ready for a 14 mile bomber on the Glade?
