Installed a 2.35 aitken on the rear... rode the trails at lunch.  2.35" front and rear is so awesome!

what blue said.

Ha ha.

*edit*
The small patch of woods where the trails are... are sandwiched between a spooky hr geiger esque high rise bombed out apt building and another apartment building that looks like it would be on a Beck album cover from the 90's.  Lots of sketchy meth people around and a couple pimps.  I ain't gonna fuck with them.  Literally or figuratively.

Went out to a trail spot  1.5 miles from where I work... we got a lot of rain today.  I wanted to be able to gauge how well they drain so I know when they are ridable based upon puddle sizes along the road.

So... I noticed a car with a door open pulled over to the edge of the parking lot where the entrance to the trails is (they are on state land behind a shady shopping center and high rise apartments)... a man and a woman were coming out of the brush going back to the car.  Seemed odd... went back the jumps... came back out of the woods 10 minutes later and a she had another business looking dude in the bushes giving him a bj.

Nice a prostitute working within 100 yards of the trails.  Well I guess it is a matter of time before they get shut down now.  They have been running almost 3 years...

The Four Nines, what state are you in? Looks like a good, simple, fun ride

Ohio.  It is fun and there is so much going on packed into a small space that it makes it a challenge.  Really good to hone your skills on.  Pretty much everything can be ridden backwards too.  So you can do loops out and back and pump up to the rolling and start again.  Two main lines both can be linked and each one has about 3 variations.  We have a wallride planned for the step up that will open up another line!

Fuck. I want to live near some trails haha

This setup is in my friend's backyard... super tight and tech and nothing is huge.  All the berms are epic.  He is really good at digging berms and bowling out the flat bottoms.  Most of the local pros pass this spot by because there isn't anything bigger than 5'5" lip by 9' gaps.  You can ride here all day and not get tired of it there are so many options.  

To get through the lines without pedaling you really need good bike control to be able to carve deep into berms and pump.  OPTIONS man!!!!

I was going through some of my parts stash and decided to take apart my cruiser wheels (joytech clones w/alienation runaways) and lace up a couple chrome 24" odyssey hazard rims I had laying around.  I even found some old black double butted spokes for the front wheel.  This is my bar cruiser and am starting to ride it at the trails now too.

Dug the model c out last week and hit some trails.  I am so stoked on it!  I picked up the 30 dollar sunday stem and cut my steerer to slam it.

I really like that the model c has a longer cs.  I appreciate all of the work you guys put into the 24.  When I talked to the profile guys about an 11t elite driver they gave that wtf look.  Apparently nobody asked for them before... 28x12 could work for me if I ever get a wave c.
