hey everyone, ive lurked around the site from time to time but really i forgot about it untill now. ive been riding mtb for a bit over a year. i race often and cant wait for cx season to start. i race ss sport/ss cat 2 ive also been dabbling a bit in super d. i commute by bicycle only and i dont have a drivers licence by choice(no i havent had a dui) ive actually ony driven a car twice. once in mexico when i was 12 and again when i was half drunk and 16. my cycling story: my introduction to cycling was about 4 years ago when i started riding my moms old road bike to get around. that turned me to ss road then to fixed gear. about three years ago i got my job at hidden valley bikes and that led me to mtb. since then ive been a bike snob and collector and i continue to enjoy all sots of riding. xc,dh,cx,road,touring,bmx and probably others. few shots of me riding my current bike collection 2009 raleigh clubman 2010 haro mary ss 2010 custom colony 2008 masi speciale fixed 1999 moots rogor mootis 2008 raleigh one way 2008 orange prestige 2010 haro porter 2008 raleigh sojourn(650b'd) and the latest addition which i will have in my hands this coming wednesday. custom frame and fork from victoria cycles also with the chris king/thomson...build.
Here's your first thanks for lurking no more. Welcome to fun! Nice "all American" bike there as well! Quite the stable. So, when you been behind the wheel of a vehicle, 50% of the time you've been drunk. Interesting.
there were many crashes that day. unfortunatly i only caught one from the pre ride the day before. but on race day there was some carnage for sure. super d wasnt any different. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGfJ5mS_qyA
I've dealt with you at Hidden Valley before, but what's up with the being a bike snob deal? Every bike snob I've ever dealt with has been an a-hole. You haven't come across that way, but of course I've only spoken briefly with you...welcome.
I like the cut of your jib, son. Nice collection. Lots o' style in those rigs... It's always good to see bikes that look like they are meant to ride, not just look pretty.
Welcome. And you can admit to your DUI here, you're among friends. Seriously, no southern Californian's life is complete without owning a car. I hope you step up to the plate soon. Just joking. I'm jealous of your car-free lifestyle -- to have that here, where cars are such a priority/burden, is something you should always be fortunate of. It's funny how many people asked me if I had a DUI when I used to commute by bike.
^^^ i noted that because from work and public conversations where i note i dont have a car or license im immediatly asked the dui questions. dont get me wrong, there are hundreds of times when i could and probably should have got a dui on my bike.
