Another hobbie

I thought I'd share this with you guys... a lot of you know me and will probably laugh when you see this. I race motocross and picked up a mountain bike sponsorship because the parent company owns Azonic. They are really great bikes and gear. I definitely proved that as not of their stuff was damaged except a visor.



I'm starting to walk ok now, I've been pretty banged up the last week (happened last wednesday). This is a great place outside of Falls City, OR called Blackrock Trail. 8 miles of mountain bike groomed trails, with tons of ladders, drop-offs, jumps, technical sections, etc.

Sometimes being an adrenaline junky catches up with you.

It's 5 for me, and worth every mile....

There is a shuttle day in Port Angeles Mid-October, if you haven't been out there it is also awesome. Lots of really nice trails. Check this out http://www.olympicdirtsociety.blogspot.com/

Also, Stevens Pass is opening a bike park designed by the Whistler guys next year.

PS - over shooting landings FTL!

Commuting to Whistler is going to start to suck until the hoopla is over. We have access to a cabin so we'll see how bad it is in a few months.
