Yeah, that's the ticket - I meant to do that!!! :worship:
Thanks Rockin, that was a fun ride even with the snowy downhill that I was so close to in fact you could say intimate with. Karl wasn't feeling too well that day so he was happy to hang back with me and point the direction I was to go when I lost the dust trail!
I have to admit, much of the credit is due to Karl - he pushed me to try the CR500 when everyone else said I was crazy and would get hurt, he set it up to work for me, he finds the stickers for me, he has been my best riding buddy and coach since our first ride together 4 years ago and has drug me through all kinds of interesting :think: trails and made it a positive experience (except maybe that one time at Hell's Canyon in Idaho, THAT one was a bit too much for the day, or the day I got really mad at him for dragging me down his new trail behind the house - darn helmet cam).
I even have to give him credit for my endurance because when he says "lets go for a ride" wether it's on dirt, pavement, water or snow I KNOW I'm in for an adventure so I train all year just to survive! The luge style (actually I think it's more of a skeleton racing move) well, that's all mine I can do a pretty mean roll when needed too - thank God for my previous volleyball experience.
It was great to meet you too Ray, come on up and Karl can lead you on a ride through our Hell's Canyon. If we hit it early in the ride I may even make it all the way through without breaking anything on my bike.
But I still think Strick needs a custom Avatar - if he hadn't told us about Moonrocks back in 2000 and organized it all, we wouldn't have had the pleasure of riding there for the last 4 years. Not to mention, if he hadn't stopped by the truck before the ride and said "You guys NEED to come with us!" I wouldn't have had the chance to show off my luge/skeleton racing skills!! :thumb:
