Gnarly terrain. I'll bet you have more fun on those rocks with your Blur than your rigid SS, right?
I said "fun," not "success"; I know all you Austinians know how to ride.

My friend Pete who moved from Austin to Syracuse in 2000, and then back to Austin in 2002, used to
spank us locals regularly with his technical skills learned in Austin. I'll always remember the
first time we took him to a place we call Split Rock, which is almost as rocky as Austin. There
are plenty of places where even good riders dab, and it takes a real zen master to clean the whole
system. I can clean everything, but not necessarily or usually everything on the same ride, know
what I mean?. Except one particular steep switchback, through and over boulders and passing
between trees, that I've never cleaned in 10 years of riding. Fallen, tried and failed, chickened
out, and given up.

So, anyway, we take Pete out there and he jumps into point position right away, takes off, and
cleans the whole damn thing first time, sight unseen, piece-of-cake, walk-in-the park, while we all
gape at him. "Holy ****, Pete, you cleaned the whole thing including that really technical section!"
"What technical section?," he says.

You mean on the national scene? Yeah, I've never figured that out. Year 'round riding on all manner
of trails ranging from windy, smooth"ish" sngletrack, to some of the most technical terrain
available. Top it off with above average Margaritas, decent live music, and Titty Bingo and it seems
a winner. Oh well, let 'em get in line at Moab and the like.

hehe thx for beating me to the draw.. I was going to ask this dude to drop by 9th st. for real
riding.. I am surprised there are not more shots of the 9th st. jumps on the net anywhere.

They are SRAM 9.0sl. Much cheaper than the XO's, just about as light, and they work like a charm.

Bomba was kidding, you sound serious. I'll drop by the 9th street jumps just as soon as you skate
ski down Corbett's.

I'm not sure who has more rocks, Austin or Blora. We ran across a few copperheads on Trail Maint.
yesterday. The reptiles are definitely out! The Trail Docs are visiting from the TBC. They are about
the same as the IMBA Trail team.

Heaps of folks are going to Waco this Sunday. Check bikemojo.com for info. Perhaps we'll hook up?

deal with those responses...
