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

We have an awesome skatepark that is relatively new and a small old one. Someone has a dirt jump park built in their yard but it’s an invitation only place.

 

What's the name of the new one, get a way?

I'm spending a couple days after Christmas in Guntersville / Grant area and may bring some DJ's up to Huntsville.
Also going to visit Monte Sano of course.

 

Yes you are correct on the name. Guntersville state park has decent trails but not as good as Monte Sano. imo

 

26" is already big... no thanks to 27.5.

 

Smaller is bettard.

 

DJ’s have 26 inch rims

XC bikes have 27.5 ‘s

 

When the neighbor comes over to ask if we can help her build bikes, the answer is always "absolutely".

Mandatory test ride around the neighborhood for quality assurance

 

28 degrees, ice, snow, that doesn't matter... Hit up a new small skatepark and pump track today for a few hours. Neat spot for chillin.



No pics of my bike... But trust me .. I rode today

 

That skatepark looks sick af

 

The surface looks bike friendly.
My Local skate parks are ice rink smooth.. I come to a stop if I have to turn.

 

Whistler time! Lol

 

It's a little small. It's fun tho

 

It's brand new. I slid out pretty hard doing a footjam so it's not 100%, but for a brand new park it's definitely grippy

Unfortunately there are no bikes allowed but I rode there yesterday for 3 hours with no beef from anyone including the police. I'm pegless so hopefully I can session this place on a weekly basis without getting kicked out

 

^ THIS. Hope it works for ya.

I street ride my DJ'er these days, and I usually just get looks from security when riding thru..were as I would get asked to leave immediately back when I rode BMX w/ pegs. Haha

 

When too sick to ride we build! Not done, but second hand market is going hard right now.

I rode for the first time in about a month. I was getting exertion headaches for about 2 weeks.

I’ve gotta trim the bars some more, change a few more things, I just really wanted to ride and see how I felt. Did about 15 miles at an okay pace. Never fully exerting myself.

 

Already got a weekend in June on the books. Gonna keep an eye on the weather, I might try to sneak out to Kelowna/Kamloops on a separate trip as well earlier.

 

ooOOooo. keep me posted. murmurs of another trip on our side are happening. June/July possibilities.

 

General opinions on fitness/smart watches? Leaning towards a Garmin forerunner with music. Not opposed to apple watches (iphone user) but wouldnt mind trying something else out as i really like my Garmin fish finders.

 

I'm definitely in the minority as I don't enjoy things on my wrist. I have a garmin computer and it's been super solid for me. the biggest thing is the steep learning curve for the controls. but once you get it, it sticks.
