The Thursday Night Crew

This was a great night for riding, and a better night for photography (for me anyway). My wrist is about 90% and I'm able to do most of what I would normally try, but I didn't have a lot of attempts in me. My wrist was tiring out pretty fast. I was wishing I had my platform pedals! Need to build up the Skookum!

Tricks

Everyone was doing their best tricks.

T-Money and Low Dollars

Tony had about fity-cent of tire pressure here...I thought Matty was the king of low tire pressure.

Matt-E

A couple sweet shots of Matty. His new Stinky rules.

Eli's Wild Ride

We all looked at this line and thought we'd like to try it, then decided it was way too impossible and full of painful consequences. Eli said he wanted to try it, we all started heckling him and saying we didn't want to miss dinner for taking him to the E.R. He put his game face on, it it with a ton of speed and nailed it. It was a thing of beauty.

Boat Drop

Eli, Tony, Matty. This was a pretty fun line, and not too much risk.

Urban Waterfront B/W

A couple b/w images from our trip to the waterfront in Tacoma. Matty, Brian, Tony and Eli were on fire, John and I mostly watched...the camera is a good excuse sometimes!

M's First Singletrack Ride with the Crew

It was great to get M out on the trail. He did really well. In one spot you have to go between two trees that has about as much room as your handle bars. He made it through, but when I asked him about it, he said he was afraid so he closed his eyes! Yikes!

Banner Mechanicals

It was a great ride, but filled with mechanical problems. Flats and broken freewheels were the hot topics for this Thursday's ride.

Freeride Kids

This was a fun morning with a friend's kids. We are hoping to get something published in a mountain bike mag.

North Fort at Night in the Snow!

It was a great night to be out on bikes. The snow made it hard work and the three of us were at redline a lot, and had to stop pretty often to keep from blowing a gasket. Riding in the snow is heavy work.
