All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

Did a bike park day at steamboat yesterday. $40 for a lift ticket isn't terrible, but I didn't realize only the lower half of the mountain was open. Not a bad park. Nothing too technical. Everything was mostly flow, no real chunk anywhere. Great place to learn jumps though. I did slam on the one black trail half way through the day trying to impress a 10 year old though, lol. Broke the bottle cage and pump holder. Got my confidence back for last run, one more on the black trail.

 

I rode Brianhead,UT for the first time. Sweet park! It’s a nice change of scenery from the local OC trails.

This was taken on Dry Lakes Rd. I had to take the back roads down

 

Got a little trail time in this weekend. First time in a couple years. The bike performed well. Me not so much, haha.

 

MY GIANT stance and my friends Trek

 

Whoa! That's a big boy!

 

I was due... There is always that one big crash in the season, that makes you re-think the crap you should be trying when you're in your 50's.

 

That looks really painful

 

Ouch!!!!!!!

 

Some pics from yesterday.

 

@flipnidaho damn!!!! Ha yes, some of this you do rethink! Even without the broken pinky!

@mrtonyd - there were little kids all around on Saturday when I was riding Purgatory Bike Park - I think I even told myself a time or two, hey I was faster then them! Ha!

 

F

 

Spoiler that shit out...........damn


Wow. Get better quick

 

Your pinky looks like a caterpillar.

Out of all the things to brake/dislocate I think you lucked out. Hope it heals quick!

 

This and the trail caterpillars a couple page pages back for the win!

 

The right wrist andright shoulder are jacked, ribs are sore so it's hard to breathe, neck and shoulder hurts. But the bike survived with just a few scratches so it's all good!

 

Yeah bike OK, GTG!

 

Sold

 

Nice bike and awesome sale. Good deal!

 

Look forward to what you think of it...

 

@Dr. Doom Says is correct. Cal Phillips was the original designer and one of the founders of 1up. Stuff happened, he split from the rest of the group, lawyers got involved, now he's making racks as QuikRStuff. The new QuikRStuff rack honestly looks like an improvement of the 1up design in every way, it's just really expensive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5FVVPlipd8

If there's any 1up knockoff out there, it's probably the new Kuat rack.

Nice! Honeycomb?!

We were over in Steamboat this weekend, camped up on Buffalo Pass. The trails there are fantastic!!! I rode Grouse Saturday, that was one of my favorite trails of all time. Sunday I rode about 7 miles with my daughter, buffalo billys to flash of gold. Then I did a loop of spring roll DH and back-up, also a really good descent with a bit of a grind climb back up.
