Way to go guys.

I'm taking bets on which part of my bike will break first from riding with Andy and you guys and doing 5+ foot drops. I'm guessing my Fox Float RL will go first.

This really is killing me...and to think that i can't even find anyone from the dorms to ride with me...i'm always riding solo.

i miss the utards, you guys rule.

We went to DV today and then hit the dirt jumps on the way home. Trails up at DV are in such great condition, and they're running two lifts this year so you can hit the NCS DH course, which is sweet. We bought season passes so if anyone wants to head up, we'll be there a lot!

How about next weekend?

Dumb question. Saturday and Sunday for sure (I'm out early on Sunday, gotta fly to Seattle). Don't forget Thursday night, Brewvies, the Collective.

I need to practice drops with platform pedals. It scares me not being attached to my bike!

Doubles kick you into the air and help the bike stay with you; drops are super hard tho! Gotta get back there with my clipless tho and hit all the drops. (and not do a 6-foot drop-to-nose-wheelie...YIKES)

Who's up for tomorrow evening? (Tuesday)

phUnk's and particle are gonna see who can nose-wheelie the longest off the drop, and I'm gonna see how many times I can ride up to the rhythms and poon out.

hey frizzo, it's a couple weeks away, but if you aren't at hood, and don't have a job, I'll be in town on the 5th of July with my bikes, and would be glad to gape around the jumps with ya in the AM on Monday the 5th.

**Particle** · 06-21-2004, 05:07 PM

No more nose wheelies for me this week.

After this weekend though, it's on.

**jayfrizzo** · 06-22-2004, 09:34 PM

Ow. The Rhythms at I-Street are hurty. I think I have dirt behind my eye.

**Particle** · 07-11-2004, 04:16 PM

Well, after a sad attempt a few weeks ago at hitting the I-Street drops with my flat pedals, I got back out w/ Frizzo and Flykdog today and brought my clipless setup.

I am soooo much more comfortable clipped in! Anyway, felt good to hit the drops. I would've taken pics of the other 2 guys airing stuff out, but...ummm...they were tired and stuff. Yeah.

Ummm, errr, uhhh...looks big huh? Uhhh... (JayF left, me darth vader):

Sacking up, touching down:

Gettin' comfy, hitting a cool little hip jump. The time I hit it before this it was fine; this time I was thinking more about the photo than the landing and ate some dirt on the runout:

This time the 'bridge out' didn't seem so scary after warming up on the other drop. Stomped it clean about 4 times:

A couple vid clips:

Dirt drop

Ladder drop

I-Street is FUN! Next up: the gully step-up across from the drop

Particle stepped it up today. Nice job, d00der!

I hit the left jumps a couple times and cased them and wracked my nuts.

**Mr. Altagirl** · 07-11-2004, 09:02 PM

I would like to hit it sometime this week. Let me know when you guys will be around and we'll get up there.

Particle,
DH / Super D at BrianHead this coming weekend.

Oh, and Particle: kickass.

Hit the step-up next time foo!

Finally hit a little double today. Frizzo got tired of me bailing at the last minute so I came around the corner and he was standing in my exit option. So I had to do it. Once I did it, no prob, I hit it 3-4 more times.

Coach (Frizzo) also took me to a park with a retaining wall and made me do manuels off of it. I think I kinda got it. Fun stuff, I'll be back.

That's awesome. I'd do the same thing to him but I'm afraid he would take my life rather than risk a possible crash.

Only 'cause running into you offers less resistance than pedaling into a stiff breeze.

Flyk stepped it up today, good stuff. His bike kicks ass, too.

Watch out for frizzo. Don't ever play chicken with him. Dude has ice in his veins, even if you are coming at him 3 times faster than he is coming straight at you.
