Well I had a little scare just about half an hour ago (why do guys ALLWAY have to try and show-off when theres a hot girl around lol ;) ). Okay well any ways you know how on a MTB you can go wellie-stoppie-wellie-stoppie, ya no one rite in to the other. Or like balance it on the frunt wheel then balance it on the rear wheel 'n rock it back and fourth. Well thats like what I was doing when this happen. Well I wellied it about 45ft down the street and I mean I was just about vertical, I then drop it down and grab the frunt brake and had a nice rolling stopie going that just about vertical. . .it was all going perfict. Then it happend, Well I ramed the petal down 'n pulled on the bars and I got WAY of balance and was just about to fall backward's. I freaked out and grabed bouth brakes (now keep in mind I was weeling so I was moving forward) the frunt wheel slamed to the ground extremly hard my forks bottemed out like nothing at all (and they have 6+ inches of travel and set kind of stiff). Befor I relized I was also holding the frunt brake the rear end was WAY off the ground and I was just about to flip over the bars and was way sideways. All I know is that I let go off the frunt brake as fast as I could, the rear end droped and. . . I RODE AWAY! How? I wish I could tell you :worship:. I bet it looked sweet lol. I have a few more stories, I don't have alot as I just started MTBing last summer (now BMX/stunt bike stores thats a whole diffrent area I have 100's of them lol). Anyone else have a good MTB storie? :cool:

I got a cool mountain bike story. Last night I was riding at my local state park, were everybody rides. I just ride for fun and to keep sharp during the week when I am not riding my MX bike.

Anyways I enter a large clearing that makes a big half loop. I have been riding for about a half hour and am fealing good and warmed up, heck half wore out. About a half mile ahead I see two real mountain bikers, you know spandex head to toe, riding titanium +$2,000 bikes. Anyways for fun I think wouldn't be cool to try and catch these guys. So I put it on the big sprocket up front and start cranking, about 15 minutes later I am with in a football length of these guys and am starting up a big hill, heck I figure this is were I get left, nope I am able to get right on their butt before the top the the hill and I smoked them on the down hill so bad it wasn't funny. Thats my mountain bike story from last night.

Yeah I got a good one.
I got a new MTB for myselft this winter. ITs a dale Raven II carbon Y bike, very nice, 4" of travel front and back and weighs only 22 LBS. You can lock both the front and reas suspensions out rigid for rode riding or long climbs. Im getting antzi to ride it so me and my bud go out and see how bad the snow is in the woods, its pretty bad so we decide to head out to a flatter rail trail thats usally packed down by sleds when it snows, we get out on the pavement into a parking area where I see some people parked, I do a bit of a wheelie and slam the tire down to get the 20 lbs of snow packed on the bike off, well with the suspension engaged its hard to get the front wheel up, so I lock the front and rear rigid and try it agin with the same amount of effort, well with the bike being so light, I just pull the front right on up and over! I mean I looped it right off the ground! I landed straight on my tailbone, my feet were still clipped into the peadles and Im on my back holding the bike like Im still riding it! It hurt but I got right up kept riding despite being in a fair amount of pain becuse the people in the lot saw it and started running twoard me becuase I whiped so bad.
Im glad I had my padded shorts on under my pants (yeah there spandex!) and my helmet :) .

Some leg ehh,, Is'nt that from an ole David Lee Roth Ditti or was it Senatra?
LOL.
