This is the type of builds I've never really done before. Steep terrain with a bunch of dirt. ? Where's the rock?

Got an outline of a line done. It's gonna need catch berms for speed checks. I'm just not sure of the radius, size, and just what the overall speed one will be going into...

[jackstraw]

Right on, thanks.

And yeah, Im pretty happy with my 36, so I just need to get the 38 more dialed. I'm assuming I'll get there. Removing one token did a lot. I'm riding my Bronson more often and when I get back on the eeb I'm realizing it's not quite as good yet....

[jackstraw]

It really is. I think the general US population has no clue what she's actually achieving and how freaking next level great she is.

It's another reason I kinda frown upon the Olympic spectacle. The US population think it's all about that one race on whatever hill that determines ones greatness....

Need a new office chair. So went to the "office" stores and a Herman Miller was close by so went in there also. What a bunch of pretentious bitches working in that place selling overpriced shit. The chairs aren't even that good!

Years ago when I was in my 20's my wife and I walked...

[jackstraw]

Ha! So it is funny because I still don't feel like my 38 is dialed. I need more out of it.

Just did two downs on the new coil before the rain and it's sweet! I set all the settings to what the Bronson is at and the 50lb more spring was perfect. Stoked on that!

Now back to...

I'm 175 all in. The interesting thing is my Bronson I'm running 450lb coil and the Vala came in at a 500lb coil because of ebike weight. Now I haven't even ridden it yet beyond my neighborhood, so I'm not sure. The sag seems close, but not 30%. Setting it up is still a weird deal for me. Minimum clicks...

They'll just want the foo foo private bar scene anyway....

[jackstraw]

A lot of riders in SC seem to ride coils and having one on my Bronson I don't see going back to air on anything equal or with more travel ever. Coils are just better. And when you have a battery taking the thing up, the weight difference is irrelevant. Why a shop wouldn't want to sell you a coil is...

I don't even think VT skiers would want that shit snow. Now NH skiers on the other hand would love it! The difference between NH and VT snowfall (and ME) is significant for sure. Jay looked good today...

I went to my lbs and worked with them. 500lbs spring rate. I think it's good, but not sure yet. They'll swap it out if not. That's why I like working with lbs whenever possible...and the liquor store is in the same lot, so I can deliver beers easily to them....

[jackstraw]

Had to happen......

[jackstraw]

Oh man does that look great!

Heal up!...

[jackstraw]

Releasing this thing didn't go quite as planned, but it's out of the way. It rolled probably 40yds down the hill and settled in a ravine. Working on steep slopes is interesting. Berms need to have large walls or is just doesn't work and then drainage becomes an issue....

[jackstraw]

Yeah, I won't let me read it either....

[jackstraw]

Goes for all of it.

YouTube TV is fighting with Disney/ABC so MNF is no longer available. And fuck Prime having TNF.

And yeah, Patriots are playing well. Granted they've had an easy schedule, but beating the Bills and Bucs is pretty good. We'll see how far they can go....

[jackstraw]

Well, it is all asphalt if you stay between the white lines ?

He did pass one of the mtb'ers I rode with on the dbl yellow before crashing. He was on a mission....

[jackstraw]

Just watched this one, and yeah enjoyed it....

[jackstraw]

Yeah, he slid across the dirt and came to a stop before that stump, but he hit some debris. The bikes weight sent it flying into and over the stump. If the dirt lot wasn't there he probably wouldn't be alive as he went down about in line that white truck....

[jackstraw]

Yeah, I did as well. Just felt a connection because of it. This is such sad news.

RIP fellow mag....

[jackstraw]

This didn't really impress me, but I don't know where this belongs.

Was in the "mud lot" getting my gear on for a mtb ride and I hear a motorcycle coming. It's an up hill wide gradual corner into a slight down then back up. It's a twisty mtn road.
