i forgot...no tbc sponsorship next year, right? who are you going through next year?

why are you sellin the blindside?

i don't know for shure yet dude. i was talking to the ht freeriders at bike polo the other night and they said it was all set up. we should check it out sometime though. i just heard that new casino is off exit 27. hopefully that won't interfere w/ the trails. i def want to check out the jap gulch rebuild though. i hear it's sick.

yeah, for sure. we need to get up to jap gulch before winter. there's a 300 ft zip line for filming out there right now

lol, i need to retake driver's ed...im such a bad driver now...lol. sucks abour your shoulder dude. but you're young still and it will heal fast...nice job on the video. what kind of cam do you use again? maybe next year we can get some good fr footage up @ 27, 38 and some secret trails...maybe sst too, although i'm kinda bored of that place.

well, at least it's just the collarbone. those heal quickly and aren't too bad recovery wise. that still sucks though. is that why you didn't race? or did you still race and shoot the videos?

just find an old chevy p/u like the one nick's buddy mitch used to have and drive w/ the lap-belt or find a pre-69 truck w/ no belt...lol. did you f-up the collarbone at the race?

lol dude. have fun w/ driver's ed in the rain. don't go across the ballard bridge-if you've got shit tires like me, your car will slide out. lol. why'd you wait til you were 18 to go to driver's ed anyway? or are you still 17 dude? i might check out the shows, but it depends on how far i feel like crutching. lol. i need to do something though...burn off some calories. haha. i might be going to the amon amarth show sunday night. viking metal is the shit!

lol dude. that's awesome. i'd be down for a weekend trip, but i have to work on sundays. so ur house is hq for synedrome. ok. i'm still off of market. are you heading to that reverb concert thing tomorrow? i don't know if i wanna hop the 44 down there or not.

as far as fitness, tell me about it dude. i'm ALMOST as big as max now. i gained ten pounds in the last month alone since i broke my leg. lol. guess i gotta start hitting the gym.

dude, piltz is gonna do a whistler trip?. where'd that come from. it's late in the season and he can't even ride. what's up w/ that? hey, are you still in ballard?

thanks dude. i might take you up on that. but for now. comedy central is doing the trick. lol.

i am covered by insurance thru work, but it still doesn't cover close to all of it. i am never leaving my shin guards in the closet when i free ride again.

so i keep hearing from mike. i'm kinda like nick though...i learn by doing, not really by watching...but i will check it out. do you have a copy i could borrow? due to hospital bills since mike took me to group health and mri costs, i got no cash right now. i missed like 40 hours of work, so i'm down $400 from what i normally make in a month. when you live on your own w/ no parents to help out, medical stuff is expensive. more incentive not to crash. lol. one lesson i'll take away from this is ALWAYS wear armor.

yeah...fo sho. port angeles, i remember hiking up the old course a few years back w/ the cam...climbing up the steeps is definitely a workout. but it's worth it. the verdict on the knee is no acl damage, but i broke the tibia, which stll sucks. hopefully i won't break anything next season. i'm still trying to figure out how i crashed.

nice dude. when fox sends me my parts, and my knee is cleared by the doc, we should go riding. i still got at least six weeks, but i am pissed since i couldn't make it to hjood to hang w/ you and estes. i thought the last race was this weekend, but i couldn't have driven last week anyway. lol. being crippled sucks. i've been sitting @ home watchin disorder and stripped all week. stripped is a good movie- it's got beacon in it. you should be stoked.

my freind robyn lost the women's colleguiate nt'l dh by a second because she changed her line last minute. lol

nice vids andy...joy is one tough rider. it sucks i didn't make the last race w/ you guys, but i'll be out there next season w/ a new ride. how was the weekend asa whole? did you guys hit post?

i am going to buy matt patts b-side

you had some nice editing on that video. the song was well suited! how'd you guys do? what kind of sponsorship plans do you have for next season? i'm planning on selling my freeride hardtail and getting a 4x rig to make up for lost time in races i missed this year. thinking banshee 4x frame, marzocchi front and rear, xt and sunline build... looking forward to it!

damn, guess we're both on the injured list. i just broke my leg after the opening of colonnade. lol. that sucks dude. i would like to see some of the pics when you get them up. woulda driven out, but i thought it was this weekend. lol.

what up andy? how was the final fr cup?

are you going to be camera man?

Not sure who you are, but you appear to be friends with a lot of people I know, so in that case: WHAAZZZUP?

heal up there dude!

doing an xc ride at tiger mtn if you wanna come

like 10am on? if its not raining?

what time?>

you riding saturday or sunday at 38?

Its cool dude thanks though, If you come out east let me know we'll go ride the Sentinel

well unless your driving over to Pullman that would be difficult, I am back at school.

I wish I could But I have to much work to do for school. not to mention I can't afford the gas.

http://www.pinkbike.com/video/14161/

Yeah man, you want me to do something like that on one of your photos?

u here??

yeah the trails were looking brutal and everyone was covered in mud

oh thats awesome im really bummed i couldnt race but if he made podium i wouldve finished pretty high too cause the last run of saturday i was like 4 seconds behind him and im racing a age class lower than him

i dont know if i want to drive all the way out there to get it then go opposite way to fluidride. yeah i need a 1 1/8 i think but ive seen a few fsa headsets that work. what were the race results for all you guys?

yeah i gonna head down to fluidride sometime this week to buy a new headset and get it in there. ive been looking at the fsa the pig dh headset its pretty cheap and seems fairly descent

do you know who is in charge of the sydrome race team im looking to join it if possible. thanks

So we're allowed to register on the day? Also does your money calculations for us include that or is that extra? How much extra too?

my boss is cool. he makes everyone happy as long as we don't screw around too much or not tell him something important. i'll see about getting a ride of my own. who knows. I doing sport too. no way am i paying more just to move up a class!

yeah, 12 still wouldn't work. since i'm getting off so late, there wouldn't be much of a reason to head out on friday, cause i wouldn't get any of that day's practice runs. one day of practice is good enough for me personally. what class are you racing in?

can i get your phone number? mine is 206-550-3522

Hold up so all of us are registered right? A friend of mine says we should try sport just because beginner is way to easy. Maybe we should stick to beginner since its our first race.

I wont be able to go up friday morning cause i've got work till 1:00. do you know anyone going up later?

Oh sweet. And my bike rack only holds two but if his uses the tow hitch then can't use mine. Unless we take two cars with tow hitches.

Oh btw, if Coburn has a tow hitch, we could use my little bike rack thing that holds two bikes if we need more room. Just saying.

Sweet! Stickers to pass around the team? Dude freestyle has some REALLY nice watches.

oh yeah. i'd make sure not to be a burden, especially money wise. how much would splitting gas be around? i was thinking i'd just go to the red lion hotel like most others. were you gonna go up on friday or saturday? yeah, it would be awsome if you could take me along. my other means of transportation are out of service. I just ordered about 450 worth of new parts for my dh rig last week, hoping they'd arrive in time, and now i'm not sure...

do you have extra space in your car going to PA?

Converter is on its way. Wheelsporteast has some pretty fast service. Just the mistakes are the bad thing.
