Mountain biking! Its pretty fun. I bought a bike with my tax returns and have thoroughly enjoyed it. This is some clips from the other day at this fun little down hill section around my girlfriends house (Im in the red). Nothing major, just a good time. Any one else mountain bike?

Mountain bikes are fun as long as you are going down hill.

Yeah the uphill does suck, but they aren't as bad as I used to make them out to be. I just keep pushing up knowing that at one point I will be riding back down that hill!

Cool, but can you wheelie?

J/K. I don't want you to hurt yourself.

Mountain bikes belong on mountains.

Ouch, that had to hurt. My son rides them all the time, he's got a carbon fiber one.

jumping dirt hills on a bike?? is fun??

looks too healthy for my blood.. now if we could replace those bikes with some harleys.. that would be interesting..

A good friend of mine just took up Mountain biking too. He started with a $400.00 dollar bike, bought some street tires too, realized he needed a better street bike and just spent a grand on one. He loves it and lost a bunch of weight too. Another guy at work has a 4,000.00 dollar Mountain bike. I didn't know that they could cost that much.

At a party last year, a guy rode his Harley over our whole track, even doing the smaller jumps. Amazing. He never went down. Even went thru the whoop section w/o high centering. And he had tall ape hangers on it no less.

that would have been interesting to watch.. I don't get ape hangers on bikes.. what does that supposed to represent? and it would seem your arms would get tired really fast.

they are rediculous in my view

I fixed that. God bless Benny Hill.

LOL....

Those were some choice jumps.

KD57 · 04-10-2008, 07:22 AM

I don't understand them either. There is a guy that I see riding to and from work a lot. His are so high he has to turn his levers straight up in order to reach them. He also looks like he came right out of the 70's. Easy Rider dude.

Disgustingly she says.."sigh! Yes you may go wee now

"

Benny Hill.. "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEE!!!!"
