[Sasquatch]

I guess I will bite. I do XC and mountain trails on a 20" Diamondback Sorrento.


First.

[tippmannr]

Fuck yes! First member! VP?

[InfaMOUSE]

I used to street BMX.

[Sasquatch]

Sure, I will take VP. Even though I dont understand why clubs use VP and council and stuff.. But whatever.

[tippmannr]

Just for lolz i geuss.


Just got back from le' street. Should be building some legit dirt jumps tomorrow. My friend (on here as mr empire) just got a Norco 6-2. Even though he pretty much just watches.

[G4paintballer]

I ride street bmx and a very small bit of flatland (my balance sucks so I cant really learn anything).

[Sasquatch]

G4: Work on standing up on the bike, not moving, without touching the ground. It is really hard when you start, but it gets easier over time.


I rode my bike to and from work today. A lot more fun than driving my truck, thats for sure. Have to get used to dodging cars instead of trees, though. Those fuckers are tricky.

[JBaller]

I BMX, Dirt Jump, and Downhill.


Biking FTW,

I race downhill too..

Speaking of which, I need a new frame... hmmm

[tippmannr]

Thinking of buying a 6-2 or something of the like. But i think i'll just rent when we go out to do some DH.

G4 & Jerry, your in.

Yup. And just practise.

Once you get the hang of it you'll be able to just sit there for as long as you want.

Im going to try and learn more flatland since there really isnt anything to ride around here so in technicality I ride flatland, but I like to say I ride street, just do not have the balls to grind or ride stairs, gosh those scare me.

[tippmannr]

Might be going to do some street pretty quick.

I live 19 hours from whistler, so meh.
And building some legit dirt jumps late this week/next week.

Well thats why I have a dirtbike. Which, btw, can far exceed 40mph on a tight single track.

So. Continue on.

[Sasquatch]

well, i dont ride much anymore, but i saw this and thought i would post a little bit of my history. i used to race both road and mountain for a boarding school, holderness. was a division champion in road racing while i was there, and was offered a couple scholarships to different colleges. my real passion was mountain biking though. started out racing XC, did a few enduro races, 1 24 hour race.... then got into DH and Freeride, and fell in love with freeride. i started out doing trials type riding on a K2 razorback team i had picked up... great little hard tail, only paid 75 bucks for it. then i picked up a Santa Cruz bullit and built her up into my dream bike. ended up getting outof the sport because i ahd to sell all my bikes to pay for an apartment. hope to back into again someday... i really want a santa cruz VP Free, but they are not made anymore...
