Breaking New Ground

I captured a few shots from this last weekend's action at the new training ground. Big thanks to Mike and his dad for allowing us to come out and act like complete idiots. He claims that if we come out and laugh, cut up, and drink a few beers with him that he doesn't mind us coming out to the farm. After careful consideration, we obliged.

This is actually a pretty mean downhill with the added bonus of a log that was wanting to throw me over my handlebars. It scared the hell out of me but Captain made it look pretty simple.


After a long day of riding, cleaning, and a few breaks , we settled in on this rock to play on.


This rock was a bitch ride up and if you reached the top, you were rewarded with another rock to climb. More times than not, I failed to reach the top but holy shit what a good time. And later that night, I slept like a rock.

Closing in on Palmyra

After a wet and snowy week, the weekend arrived and Saturday served us up a perfect day. I don't think it gets any better than riding with these bunch of guys. And it really kicks ass when two of those guys are your brother and your dad. Enjoy, 'cause I did...

I wanted to point out the subtle intricacies of this pic. And also, take a good look at that clutch lever. It didn't make it through the end of this day. It was last seen ricocheting off of a tree after breaking from the bike and being thrown from a frustrated trials rider.
