Hopping Up Stairs

This is at Black Hill Regional Park (Shelter F). I tried this a few weeks ago and only made it up halfway. I decided to try it again today. I actually made it to the top but had to take my foot off right at top. You can't see it from the video but the stairs consist of two steps, then a small platform, then another two steps, and so on. It took about 20 tries before I could make it. It was fun!

Endomorph - Fun, Fun, Fun!

I got a new 3.7 front tire! I learned this setup from Austin. We both have a Surly Endomorph 3.7 tire on an Echo Trials Rim. So far, it's been a lot of fun. It's a little heavy but not much as a front shock. You can roll over stuff real easy and get some good air on logs. I feel like I can bounce around on this setup. It's a little harder going up the hills. I guess because of the rolling resistence and weight. You can really fly down the hills though. I only have 1/8 space between my fork and tire. I bought some frame protectors so seem to be doing well protecting my fork. I don't hear any rubbing while I'm riding. I'm sure Austin can give a better review since he's been riding longer but wanted to share because I'm really excited about this setup. Oh, I'm running only 11 psi.

21 mile'r






This past weekend, Austin, Andrew, and Henry explored the countryside of Germantown. Schaeffer to Black Hills...a 2.5 hour round trip tour. The highlight would have had to be Andrew's tire that kept on rolling while taking in a 16 penny framing nail.This is a true test of the Geax Saguaro 29er tire!
