  1. You should get something that you can take off some sweet jumps!

     

    Hell yes! My moto, and rehab protocols for broken bones has alway been to catch as much air as possible as soon as possible.... in fact today, I'm feeling some BMX trails tingles...... I found a rad new spot in this guy's back yard thats downhill, and the jumps are all hips (meaning they turn a little).

     

    Last week though I was riding out there, and came into this one set with so much extra speed that I couldn't make the "turn" toward the landing (because they are all hips) and I went flying off into the woods. Thankfully there were tons of ferns and leaves and things and not too many dead logs, so I crashed and burned without any [real] damage...

     

    BMX is so sick......

  2. Yeah, I was loopy as shit last night. I was actually falling asleep in between spray wanks! And it was only 9:30 pm....... pathetic....

     

    I get it now....... I know some people on the olympic peninsula who build their own electric cars; I think I'll do it one day too....

     

    I hope the big car companys wise up soon though and do bring the complete electric car back.... the market for electric vehicles IS THERE. It would also be REALLY good if hybrids (and the few electric cars) would be built to ACTUALLY LOOK COOL! I mean honestly, C'mon, the Honda Insight is fucking hideous. What if they made an electric car look like a Toyota Celica or a WRX. I'd freaking buy one...

     

    The oil will be gone soon I think...... then we'll have to all drive electric.

  3. UMMMMM.... WRX........ My buddy's got one, and man, he's always the first one to the trailhead.....

     

    plus, you can corner the damn thing at 70-mph! This very special and exhilarating feature saved my ass from a head on crash last winter on the mt. baker highway. This was the car directly in front; we actually swerved UNER IT as it became air-born on impact. Drive safely everyone......plenty of accidents happen on the way home from a long weekend in the mountains when everybody is pooped.

  4. Honestly, if you go around to all the used spots in town (including eBay) and build it up on your own you can get a super dialed bike for like 150 bucks.

     

    If you don't know what to look for exactly, buying something used online has been the best deals I've seen.

     

    Otherwise, seriously, Konas are good bikes and they are not too outrageous (some people hate them with a passion though - wankers).

     

    I also agree with your wanting to play outside longings........ cardio inside just sucks......

  5. Um, Muffy. Bags, woods, no problem...but pvc pipes? Please tell this newbie you're kidding.

     

     

    Newbie? I've pooping in awkward places for years! The problem is volume related, not technique.

     

    PVC pipes? Ms. Muffy, you just might be more insane than I am..... will you marry me? :pagetop:

  6. Oh Muffy, I'd love to help you out! I have a super old road bike thats like 15 years old.... its still works... I love building up super-fcuked looking bikes with miscellaneous parts. They always seem to work the best and look the coolest (to me).

     

    As far a nice sparkly and new road bikes, Specialized and Trek are the two companies on the cutting edge of geometry and materials. But honestly, hardly anyone [needs] a $2000 bike!

     

    I'd go online and just learn stuff, then go to different shops and test ride different models. The more research you do the happier you'll be in the end!

     

    I think road biking is amazing......it builds the quads in a more balanced way than almost any other sport. Just look at Lance's Vastus Medialis, its huge!

  7. Since this is Spray, I thought I'd bring up the most offensive topic I can think of:

     

    I have no problem with and am in full support of the Blue-Bag policies in the state. My only dilemma has been, is that I seem to take insanely massive shits. I'm not talking "big", I'm talking 16 inch LOG. Has anyone else had issues fitting all of their excrament into 1 standard issue sized blue bag? :hcluv:

  8. In that case mr. archenemy buy a kona! They are actually not that bad and not too expensive (for the lower end ones). Also, for what you described, a hard tail would probably be the way to go. They are more efficient for pedaling around town and are also better for hill climbing when off-road.

     

    I am a bike freak....

  9. Yes, dont go to Gregg's! I used to work there, and I used to rip people off.....

     

    Buy one offline then build it yourself, you'll get alot more for your $$$$. Transition Bikes is a insanely bomb-prof frame...... If you are looking for a super nimble rear suspension bike for trail riding, I think Ironhorse makes one of the best riding geometries.

     

    I'm cheap though. I have a peice of shit Kona that I just dump copious amounts of wasted money into...

     

    Or you could simplify life and start riding BMX bikes. I've been shredding those for years, and they cost seriously 1/10 the cost of a mountain bike. Catching tons of air will kill however...
