just a short loop but it kicks my ass everytime. A heart pounding workout (and fun) for 20mins.

That's right behind my house. I usually do the the south side of the trail the ride back on the north side.

I honestly haven't done from S then back to N. I have been used to the N then S...I have to try that.

and it looks like the bmx playground at the middle of the N trail has been flattened.

Oh how I miss riding those trails during my lunch break.

Yeah the city came and demolished it. I like the south trail a little more. It's just faster.

Def more flow on the S, besides all the dumbass brake bumps dug in these past few seasons.

I miss our hammerfest night rides and our figure 8 route. I recall when the whole point was to break every spirit and will of the group in each ride. That's probably why half of our FBC crew went into hiding, turned roadie or just plain gave up this silly mountain biking. Great times. I don't miss the drivers in South Bay though.. hahahahaha.

Nice vid and riding, Tito Jay.

Thanks Kuya. Bring your kids at our place this Satuday for a fun party.

I am still working on that "I might outclimb you" someday.... it has been slow, not progressing and I might give up.

Nope, just right after you reached puberty in late 70's.
I don't remember the trail names beyond snake and rice canyon so I'm not even going to try. Andy knows it. He introduced the dash for terra nova warm up sprint from the cemetery road. I hate people in shape and with cow calves.

Ok, guys, enough reminiscing about the good ol' days - time to get back to the topic of this thread, which is... Dude, how many bright orange headset spacers have you got on that bike??? It's stickin' up like, 2 inches! I guess you really didn't want to cut that steerer tube!

Lol, Chuck. I lent it to him so he could try a fork with the appropriate amount of travel for that frame. I won't let him cut it since it won't fit my frame if he does. If he cuts, he buys.
