man, that was HOT. I am just glad I brought my CamelBack full of ice water. All that talk about urine rocks in the foot made me think... I downed 46oz of water just walking back up the hills and all. If I hadn't brought the CamelBack, I wouldn't have drank half that much. not to mention the fact tha...

hmnmm...I went back and paint marked all of the "X" rock scratches. it all looks right, but I only got 85...and it's right to the cul-de-sac. I marked them with this stencil I made with a little point to show left/right cones, that way I can ride the course without cones...the only place to add cone...

hey y'all. I rode Huntington Hill yesterday. I did the 100 cone(well, 100 paint marks anyhooz) course. I found that our "100" course is only 85! then I remembered that the kids were playing with "about 15" cones up at the parking area. doh! the 86/82 cambrias are way grippy compared to the 92/88 Sti...

Quint's son was playing in the dirt and took his shoes & helmet off. then, he decides to sit on Quint's longboard and butt-ride down the (25+mph)hill. next thing I see this little tyke with no helmet, no shoes...zipping past me, digging in his heels to the...

What an epic skate day; 100 cones on the big hill...that was sick. there were a few runs where I got to about 60 and my thighs were burning. the right-hand curve that was banked and running downhill was a tricky spot, kinda sucked the gravity from under ya'! of course, the long walk uphill wasn't he...

hey mang. that hill is STEEP. I was "snowboarding" down the upper part, 4-wheel drift slides backside, frontside...until I got where I felt comfy letting it go. I guess that's where rick clicked the pic. I estimate I was hitting mid-30s when he snapped the pic...I think I'm ready to bomb it straight...
