Fuh-UCK!

We did it again.  We brought our shit boxes up to the Stevens Bike Park and ripped around again.  Gnar on his 24" Diamond Back crap, Milo on a Doug Foss hand me down Gay2 that is actually pretty rad for a hard tail, and me on my 1997 top of the line, full XTR Santa Cruz Heckler.  We were that family.  If it were the snow season, I was the guy with Clickers and the matching top and bottom all over print set and my kids were on some full cambered directional shit with forward angles and bicycle helmets.  We know this.  The only shit that we were cool with yesterday was the kids running my 30 year old race jerseys.  Thats it.  But man, did they / we beat the shit out of our shit boxes.  I spent my evening dreaming about who my connection was in the bike world so my cheap cheezeball ass could show up next weekend with some rigs worth ripping on. 
Evo Chris let Milo take his Norco full blown DH race machine for a rip down the hill while I followed him.  We got to the end, he looks at me and says "one more."  I said "f you, look at my triceps.  They're torched from holding on so God damn tight trying to stay within 40 feet of you."  My vision was blurred and my arms looked like I had my shirt rolled up and was doing the prepress on the car window. Anyway, that night he goes "Dad, I wish I didn't ride that bike, then I wouldn't realize how crappy our bikes are."

  1. I'm gonna make my once-a-year trip ride DH bikes down ski lifts on Friday up there! Even though I rode some lifts with my everyday bike out in Utahr.

    Do they pump tunes at Stevens? I was across the street last week and I swear I heard Kid Rock or some wubwubdubstep blasting across the highway.

    It's rad to have the old bikes though, trust me: full-retail top of the line MTB people are the absolute worst.

  2. Absolutely OBSESSED with finding 3 DH bikes these days. EXpensive. Working them connections or as people like you would say..."dude I'm so networking." Better check my LinkedIn connection circles.

    I CAN ONLY DO LIKE THREE RUNS BEFORE I'VE SCARED MYSELF TO DEATH OR BURNED THROUGH THE BRAKE PADS

    DUDE IF I HAD AND RODE A DH BIKE REGULARLY I'D SPEND SO MUCH ON BRAKE PADS

    DH BIKES ARE FOR WEIRDOS
    THEY COLLECT AS MUCH OR MORE DUST THAN SPLITBOARDS, COLLECTIVELY
    WATCH OUT
