so it has been a while since my first post. But you can blame that on a lack of inspiration coming from dispatch101.net. He usually posts nothing but gold. I think he is loosing it.
I have been riding a lot lately, and really pushing myself to do better in a lot of aspects since that race. In the race I got such a massive burn in my legs I was just being brutalized, now I try to work up that burn all of the time. Some of those denver kids have some crazy skinny and tiny bodies with some wicked gnar calves. Mad respect.
Other than pushing myself on my distance riding and endurance, Ive learned some new tricks. Ive gotten a lot better at my track stands. Probably going for a little under a minute on the best ones. But the most exciting ones tonight was a leg over skid, where you throw your leg over your handle bars and skid with one leg. Thanks to Jen from cycle jerks for her tut on velo or for some mag I believe. I also worked up the balls to do suicide skids, meaning no handed. Yesterday that shit would have sketched me out beyond belief, but now its cake. Im going to top with lighting cigarettes or slamming a beer before the end of a skid. hehe.
My Chrome bag came in today. Its sorta lame to rock messenger gear when I am not a messenger.. But a lot of this stuff was made for a reason, to haul shit on your bike. Which I need to haul around plenty of tubes, extra parts, tools... Im a mess. got another flat today, which brings me to somewhere around 10+ for this month on flats.
A friend decided to get real drunk and ride at night without his contacts on his new pista frame. Hit what used to be a wheelchair accessible ramp onto this shortcut trail. Anyway ther was construction there and they neglected to put up any kind of signage and the dude took a face plant into the ground. Embeded a tooth in his face up by his nose, put some gnar road rash all over his face, and generally just got really fucked. Nobody wants to go through that.
Anyway I would like to post some pictures but I still havent gotten any from my buddy or synced my phone to show you fun stuff. But some cool news is, is that next pay check I am going to invest in a helmet cam that I found cheap, takes about a full hour of video which is rad. So we might just say fuck it with the cams and start posting vids of the days ride. need to figure out some video editing software and throw some tracks on there.
Anyway I wanted to leave you with this rad video i just found. I love the game tron, the movie is good too. Som dudes made it for bicycles, but absolutely dont remember exactly how tron was played. Its a rad idea and I am glad someone attempted it, but this is just the begining, there has to be a better more dynamic way to set up a game stage to get gnar on some real tron.
