New Bike Rack




Well i've been planning and designing a bike rack for my truck...needless to say after forcing myself to not be lazy I finally built it today. It lets me haul three bikes without them touching each other, for easy and safe transport. It ended up being very sturdy and it even turned out to look like something that you would buy. It came together great and i'm excited to use it! Now that its done, i'm thinking about making a few of them and selling them...who knows!

Dirt jumping in Prescott

Well, after my crash at sunrise I decided to stay off the DH bike for a bit. This lead to riding my hardtail more and dirt jumping. I headed out to the much talked about dirt jumps behind costco in Prescott. Besides the fact that they had not been touched in years they were still in good enough shape to be ridin. With about an hour of work, they were in good shape again and thus fired me up about dirt jumping again. So far they have been fun, heres a few pictures of the place.....

Crashing sucks

Well....Im sitting here writing this on monday morning, still sore and not being able to walk normal. As it neared 4 o'clock on saturday I decided that a few more runs would be the perfect way to end the day of riding. This thought came minutes before a pretty gnarly crash that left me with a headache and some sore shoulders, and more importantly a blown out knee that was immediately swollen to the point of not being able to walk really.

I feel like I probably had it coming since I haven't crashed in awhile. However, this had to happen a week before the MSC race that I was planning on attending in Colorado. Just my luck.....Oh well, Im healing up and waiting till I can ride again.
