Your snaps

[redneckp3ngu1n]

I want to see what pictures you guys have of you riding downhill, freeride, street and jump. Post 'em up. Ill get mine up in a bit.

[jabberwocky]

Ok, I'll play. I'm primarily an XC geek, so my pics are more trail jumps and the like though.

Is using a helmet cheating? I didn't see those guys in the video using 'em. :confused:

Zoh my god did rickyd just directly address me!? :eek: This must be the high point in my posting carreer even though he is making fun of me :p

Since im under 16 its the law so yes im cheating alot. But im not cheating with the front brake because i dont have one ;)

I need to find more of my natural terrain pics but i cant find them in the maze of stupid folders i have made on my harddrive

Great pics.

So Zen, he doesn't need a bike! :)

[redneckp3ngu1n]

very nice pic joe. Did he land it?

[redneckp3ngu1n]

By the way joe p's pic is the only one that there is no form of cheating being used. There is no helmet or bike involved at all :D

[gohanbwoy]

very nice pic joe. Did he land it?

He landed it twice and hit the deck pretty horribly as he took off with one foot on his pedal and one out to the right of his bike (off the pedal.)

[jabberwocky]

Went out street riding in Reston today with my friend Steve, and got a few good pics of him.


Steve demonstrates that he has been practicing bunny hopping. He made it up this ledge, which was easily as high as a mtb wheel, every try:

http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/7307/img2809nv8.jpg


I pointed out this drop to Steve on the way out. He said he "wasn't sure" about it, and then hit it perfectly. And then did it again for me to get a picture of (and yes, he landed on the narrow wall below):

http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/1173/img2830zf1.jpg


Demonstrating trials skills (and tire pinch flatting ability, too):

Dude i want to try the second pic. I set up something similar in my yard once where there was a jump onto a skinny but ive never really done anything like that were you could slip off

Also there looks to be a line in the thrid pic where you would follow that brick skinny, drop and land on the skinny again and drop off the skinny landing on the stairs. Did any of you try it?

Did any of you try it?Negative, although you are right, it looks like a good line. You could do the drop in the second pic, and then ride out and either hop onto the stairs, or keep riding along and hop off the end (over the little wall he is hopping on in the third pic).

I actually did the drop too, but I decided not to try it again to get pics of it. I can't do the trials drop like Steve can, so I just hauled ass and rode off it. :) It was a bit scary, because if I messed up to my left, I was going right down the stairs (probably on my face).

Nice pics redneckp3ngu1n! Where is that wall that you're doin' the wall ride on? Up in Rockville?

Let me know if you're up for riding street with an old guy sometime. I'd come up to Rockville on the weekend for a change of scenery. I must warn you though... I always wear a helmet, I run a front brake, and I always ride with my camel bak (a.k.a. the mobile toolbox that keeps me from having to walk home on many occasions). Sounds like I'm breaking a bunch of unwritten street rules :eek:

[saxman]

That wall looked like it was over by the Watergate?

The skills that are shown in these pics are astounding to me. Heck, I'd just like to be able to clean 12"+ logs, let alone some of the stuff shown here.

[redneckp3ngu1n]

That wall looked like it was over by the Watergate?

Yeah Its the wall surrounding the watergate on the side facing the river. Nice long runup, grippy, low risk. How could you go wrong?

Logs are tricky for just about everyone here i bet (except Jabberwocky) so you are not alone :D

Maby. Im sick at the moment but there is some stuff in the area thats worth riding. Maby after xmas. I recently put the front brake from my reign on for slolum at 495 and am having a hard time thinking of an excuse to take it back off again. And yup i bring my camelback with me (just with tool and tube) because, like most cyclists, i believe my feet touching the ground is overrated.

Went riding with Steve (smahlst) again today. No destination, we just cruised around Sterling and hit whatever we found. Anyway, the pics:

I practice hopping up a loading dock without bashing my bashring:

[jabberwocky]

Well, the weather pretty much rocked today, so Steve and I went over to the Arlington/Roslyn area to do some more street riding. So, in my attempt to destroy every poor 56ker who clicks this thread, more pictures!

Steve does a crazy trials trick which I don't know the name of on a ledge. He is really good at these:

Thats a bigger ledge than i can get up (or have tried atleast) so you dont suck too much. And as for the derrailure. Go singlespeed. As much as i hate to say it singlespeed is actually a good idea for street and jump because 1) you dont need gears 2) it clears up the cable clutter on your bike and 3) its fewer things to brake.

As much as i hate to say it singlespeed is actually a good idea for street and jump because 1) you dont need gears 2) it clears up the cable clutter on your bike and 3) its fewer things to brake.I think Steves issue with singlespeed is that he usually rides his bike to the places he is going to do urban assault, but he likes to run a pretty low gear for the trials and street moves. So he likes having higher gears to ride around with, and lower gears for the urban riding.

But yeah, I suggested singlespeeding it temporarily until he gets a new hanger. The p.2 has horizontal drops, so its a pretty easy conversion.

[saxman]

Looks like you're right behind the Key Bridge Marriott. Is that correct?

[jabberwocky]

Looks like you're right behind the Key Bridge Marriott. Is that correct?I think so. We were right down by the key bridge, in this little park right between two big roads. It's a pretty cool place to ride, lots of little ledges and stairs and stuff.

Also, theres apparently a college nearby, so we were treated to a constant parade of scantily clad college women out enjoying the nice weather. ;)

Hey Red... Did you guys go across the street where that trail comes out? There is some pretty nutty stuff in there.

[jabberwocky]

Sweet shed pics, red. I need to go back up there and ride the fun stuff.

[redneckp3ngu1n]

Hey Red... Did you guys go across the street where that trail comes out? There is some pretty nutty stuff in there.

Yeah just for alittle bit. Nate hit both of the bigger drops down there and sam hit the first one. I however stood and watched :D

Sweet shed pics, red. I need to go back up there and ride the fun stuff.

Nate shot the best ones. Mine all seemed to come out blurry. Not really sure why they dont usually do that.

[smahlst]

Nice pics Red! Man, one of these days I need to get out on my dual suspension bike again. Aside from a hung-over torture ride at Avalon a few weeks ago, it's been months since I've ridden my trail bike. Riding street has me so hooked these days I keep forgetting how much fun stuff is out in the woods. :)

I know it has been 2 months since i rode my fully and now i love it because of that ride.

[jabberwocky]

Nate shot the best ones. Mine all seemed to come out blurry. Not really sure why they dont usually do that.I'm guessing you were using some sort of point and shoot camera. Looks like it was overcast. Point and shoot cameras aren't great in low light conditions. On my P&S (Canon SD300), there is a manual mode where you can force the ISO to a higher speed (200 or 400). It increases noise somewhat, but shutter speed increases too which eliminates the blur. P&S cameras just aren't great at capturing motion in low light environments.

[jabberwocky]

Well, the weather today (35 degrees with 25 mph winds) was in stark contrast to my last urban outing two weeks ago (70 degrees and sunny). But I got a new fork for the street bike, so it needed to be ridden even if it was windy and cold.

Not too much picture taking today. But Steve did get a few pics of me doing stair bunny hopping practice:

Bling bling. Oh how i love argyle 409s. Nice pics and nice bike.Thanks. The Argyle is a gigantic improvement from the Manitou Black that was on there before. Its not real heavy either, for such a burly looking fork. And the mint green color is unusual. :)

I still need to replace the pedals. I'm using cheap platforms from performance bike, and when Steve and I swapped bikes I noticed how much grippier his Easton flatboys are.

They grip your shoes and your shins very well.

[jabberwocky]

They grip your shoes and your shins very well.I finally invested in some shin armor after taking some chunks out a few weeks ago. Yesterday I slipped off the pedal on one stair drop and slammed my shin into the pedal full force. I was quite glad that I had the armor on. :)

[redneckp3ngu1n]

A few screen shots from today. Low res but its the only way i could get a shot of me riding by myself.

[smahlst]

Cool shots redneckp3ngu1n. Did you do a rollback out of that tree thing, or did you hop off backwards? Also, that drop looks like it's a decent height. Where were you riding?

Chris and I got out riding for a few hours today. What an awesome day for riding!! We snapped some photos of us again today, so he may have a few to post later.

Chris and I got out riding for a few hours today. What an awesome day for riding!! We snapped some photos of us again today, so he may have a few to post later.

I can hop off backwards but still land with my front wheel on the tree so i have enough momentum to roll back but i can also just do a plain roll back. The normal roll back is harder for me though i cant get it 100% of the time.

The drop is about 6ft from tip to the top of the raked out tranny. You could land farther up but you would have to have a vertical trajectory and you would land in a pile of sticks and crap. Im gonna dig out the area before the raked out area a bit so that the tranny is a bit more obvious.

This is off of the c and o canal believe it or not. The rock drop is across muddy branch creek from blockhouse point (this is a neighborhood trail network and i see a set of weirwolf tracks every now and then so im not the only biker) and i dont get yelled at so its all good.

You ride at the shed right? Why dont you get a few pics on a ride up there. I mean there is plenty of stuff to get pics of. Hell as long as your wheels are off the ground or your bookin' than it belongs in this thread.

[jabberwocky]

Nice drop, red! Are you on your STP or Reign? It looks like the STP, but its hard to tell. Either I need to start riding up by you, or you need to make down here sometime.

Bunnyhop practice: this entailed hopping up onto a ledge and then riding really fast to hop off the wall and clear the cone.

Steve and I skipped out of work early today and rode 495 for a few hours. Apparently god likes us, because the rain that had been threatening all afternoon disappeared the instant we loaded our bikes on the car and the sun came out. It ended up being beautiful riding weather.

Nice. I have to get down there, haven't been in months. How about a street ride this sunday? We could start in bethesda and ride down to some dc spots.Maybe. I'm supposed to do an XC ride with a friend on Sunday, but the weather is looking none to good for the weekend so I may have to cancel. Where in Bethesda do you start riding? It would be awesome to ride some different spots.

Drop me an email at chris (a t) intensity (p e r i o d) org and we can set something up.

[smahlst]

I'm up for riding in Bethesda on Sunday. I'm getting more ink on my left calf on Friday, and I usually try not to ride for a few days afterwards to help the healing process (lately my tats haven't been healing too well for some reason), but I really want to check out some new spots, so screw it, I'll ride on Sunday. :) My email address is steve [at] smahlstedt [period] com. Just tell me when and where to meet.

How were the other lines at 495?

[jabberwocky]

How were the other lines at 495?Soft. Certainly not ridable. Only the tabletopped lines were dry.

Everything is probably underwater now. Sigh...

Fine day Sunday at Lewis and Clark. Steve and I rode for a few hours, hitting pretty much everything there. So, pictures!

"Hey Steve, I'm gonna try to hit this one really fast this time!" I remember the landing being very hard:

Nice snaps.. was a great day to be out.. cool. Wocky, that your new Turner 8-Spot?

[jabberwocky]

Wocky, that your new Turner 8-Spot?Borrowed an RFX from Billy.

[Brizn]

Borrowed an RFX from Billy.6.4" rear, 8" front? That thing probably ate that stuff up pretty well i bet.

[jabberwocky]

6.4" rear, 8" front? That thing probably ate that stuff up pretty well i bet.The boxxer on there is an older 7" model (170mm, I think). But yeah, it worked far better than any of my bikes would have. I really need to get some upper body armor and a full face though. I took one good slam today, and I only avoided bad injury because I'm pretty good at doing the rag-doll-tuck-n-roll from years of skating.

I also had one of the scariest holy-crap-I'm-gonna-die moments I've had in a while today. There were a series of jumps, and I didn't realize the last one was a 20' gap until I went off it. :eek: Fortunately I was going fast enough to clear it, but I had a few seconds of abject terror wondering if I was going to make it to the landing. :D

[crutter1]

Is that the fork I sold you Bill? If so, I am proud. :)

[pirate]

Yeah, that's it... :mad:

I gave you some good behind-your-back guff for that, too. :D

[crutter1]

I didn't remember you wanting it...had I known that I would've sold it to you so I might give you some good log riding karma. Buy my frame instead, nothing is hotter than an orange/black stinky, not even a 66rc2x

Ha! I was really just kidding. I was drooling over it that day at L&C, before you had decided to part out the bike.
The problem with buying just the frame, for me, is that I still want to keep the vagrant built up for XC riding. I plan to sell my real XC bike (Trek Fuel EX8) soon, to help pay for a new FR bike.

[urbaindk]

From the pictures, it looks like you guys did a bit of hike-a-bike on the drop trails. Did you do any shuttle runs?

Yes, indeed! I think we did 3 or 4 runs down the "easier" side of the mountain. There were a bunch of other groups up there, so we were able to bum a ride to help setup the trucks. Worked out nicely!

[jabberwocky]

Just sell the Vagrant frame instead, and keep the Fuel. Its the frame + DHX shock + headset + seatpost/saddle + front derailleur, and a Kona sticker for your car. BTW, did you get my e-mail about the possibility of new freeride stuff in the area? I might be buying a very basic dj/urban/play-around bike for cheap, but might not if this new riding spot isn't going to materialize.

[mark w]

crutter if you're looking for a dj/play bike I have a GT Moto frame and Sherman 20mm fork I'll sell you pretty damn cheeeep. I've decided that I'm done with hardtails once and for all.

I appreciate the offer, but until I sell my Pinarello road bike, I don't have the space for another bike. I'm also going to delay any more bike purchases to see if my new medical school schedule will even permit me enough time to ride. If it does, I'll talk to you about the frame/fork.

[jabberwocky]

Rock CandyIs that part of the new reroute on super sweet?

Should I ban myself? :rolleyes:First rule of fight club.

PS; that area = dirt nap.

[middle-ring]

Okay, I'm tired of watching from afar...talking about trails named 'super sweet' makes me feel all tingly inside. Never been to the Shed, (been to Gambril) but really want to do the shuttle stuff. Next time I'm and I'll even bring truck and will help shuttle....

Now THAT's what I'm talkin' about!!! :D
I think the next time we will be shuttling, will be either next weekend or the weekend after. However, if you want to head up there, there are almost always a bunch of people up there on Sundays.

[middle-ring]

Keep me posted - I'm serious.

[middle-ring]

Plus I wanna meet Briz...

[crutter1]

Two questions:
1) Are you guys going this weekend?
2) If so, does anyone have an appropriate bike I can borrow for the ride (I'm 6')?

Hopefully the answers to both of the above are yes. On tuesday my real classes start and I won't be able to make it to any rides all the way out in fredneck. Instead I'll be studying anatomy and physiology until my eyes bleed :eek: .

[Brizn]

I could shuttle this coming Sunday..

[DKEG]

Is that part of the new reroute on super sweet?
yes, it is. Have you done the reroute yet?

[jabberwocky]

yes, it is. Have you done the reroute yet?Yeah. Its sweeeeeeeeeeeet.

[middle-ring]

I could shuttle this coming Sunday..

This Sunday I'll be at the Likin Park Projekt Revolution concert. Next Sunday is doable though.

[Brizn]

This Sunday I'll be at the Likin Park Projekt Revolution concert. Next Sunday is doable though.Doable here as well.. so far. I'll try and keep 8/26 clear..

[punga]

No good can come from that...

I might be up for next Sunday, the 26th, to hook up with you guys. I can shuttle a grand total of 3 bikes so I could make up for it with a cold cooler of something good for post ride refreshment.

p!

[Billy Mathisen]

Hey guys, I was planning on hitting the Shed this Sunday, starting around 10:00AM. My truck can shuttle six.

Open to suggestions, but certainly interested in packing in as many of these downhill run combinations as possible:

Lawn Mower
PipeLine
Angie's Trail
D. Hippie
Jump Trail (maybe as a warm-up?)
Blue Trail

Weather will be awesome!

[middle-ring]

Doable here as well.. so far. I'll try and keep 8/26 clear..

Hey, we on for Sunday??? (Sat = better, but Sunday ok.) I have full size pickup with bike racks.

I'm unfortunately, on the IR... AGAIN! (torn rotator cuff) :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Billy Mathisen]

Hey middle ring,

I was planning on going out on Sunday morning thru early afternoon. I suppose I could do Saturday though. I am happy to shuttle as many folks who can fit in my truck as possible. The more trucks waiting at the bottom of the hill, the better, right?

[Brizn]

Hey, we on for Sunday??? (Sat = better, but Sunday ok.)Saturday is right out..and I don't think I'll be available Sunday either- at this point. Can we bump it ahead a weekend..?

[middle-ring]

Sat 9/1 or Sun 9/2 is okay with me. That is Labor Day weekend....
