Tried to get single speeder Jamie Huber to ride through this first and test the waters for us -- he fell in on the last crossing and got all wet! Do you think we made it?

The walking bridge in Lumberville. The water here is breaching the canal. Ripping current and waves -- look at the rapids!

You can always pick out the Pro Racer in the pack by how well maintained their equipment is. After all, they: 1) rely upon it to be there unconditionally under power, 2) treat it with the utmost respect by keeping it lubed, clean, devoid of embarassing damage and wear, and 3) must always represent their sponsors to the fullest by setting the proper example if being on that simply cares for their equipment and well being. They also hae great fashion sense and shave for good reason. Alas, bike racers are oh so vain.

Shameful...

Bud pushed so hard he turned himself inside out.

14' Tall Bud lifting off. See how hard he is pushing -- go big or go home.

This is his throne. King Bud indeed.

It is all in the pucker power. Robbie shows some tounge while practicing his "race face" with his buddies in the Junk Arch.

Dakota ponders the fact that while money doesn't grow on trees, 29er seem to. Cute puppy. Robbie calls it Junk Art.

Notice how Bud's eyes don't open on bike rides?

What's missing in this picture? Shameful...

well it had to start somewhere. i think it's 3 years ago i grabbed rob after a meeting and said i need help. He said "i'm not a psychologist," no i meant diet. i still kept the original piece of paper he probably wrote on a lawnmower.
"follow it and you will be smaller young padwan"

Went to Ray's this weekend for the PA Homey weekend. What a killer place. I was totally amazed at the range of riders and lines and variety, and that everyone got along so well. Great learning place, and a great progressive scene for shredders. You definitely had t pace yourself for the day as you would dehydrate really quickly and you would fizzle if you stayed amped all day. So cool, and I am definitely going back.
