Cult seems a little dead lately.. :/ What's up?

I'm genuinely stoked on life right now, feel the best I have in a long time and I'm done with school after two more tests next week. Getting the bike out this weekend and riding it back to school for a couple days, then jumping into summer!

+vibes to all y'all :)

Ah good to hear. Stoked on your good attitude! And that first ride of the year is always fun.

I'm a little bummed. I am selling my Warrior and there are two people coming to check it out this weekend. It has been my baby since I bought it new in 04. I ruined my shoulder skiing this winter and the pain to ride in such a stretched out position is keeping me off of the bike. Rehab and hospital bills are adding up too. This feeling sucks. It's like the dog died. I guess I'll just replace it with a cheap rocket or something with a close grip and no shoulder stress to get by for the summer. I can always find another one like it but man, this blows.

Dude I'm sorry the Warrior has to go... If I could afford it I'd take it off your hands. Such a sick bike. Rockets are fun but there's nothing like riding that kind of bike.. Hope the should gets better man.. :/

Rode the bike to school Sunday.. usually takes 3 hours in a car, I did it in 2 hours and 15 mins.. Doin' 90 vs  70 the whole way really makes a difference.. Such a fun ride. Motorcycle season has started!!

Nice work man! That's not a bad weekend. Just spending more time on the bike and any training time you can put in makes the biggest difference. Keep us updated on these finishes.

Definitely keep us updated, and nice work on the 20th. Keep on rippin' and training and you'll have top 15's for sure. You're a good rider dude, at least from what I've seen on here, keep it up!

haha maybe that's why this cult is so slow lately..

I've been out as much as I can.. put on about 500 miles so far this season, but I cheated, ~340 of 'em are from riding to school and back. The last couple days here it's been 90 F but windy as fuck, I'm pissed.

Ah I'm pretty stoked right now. This isn't really motorcyle related... but kind of.

I have gotten more into mountain biking over the last few years and a friend and I have been building up a sweet trail system full of downhill, cross country, dirt jumps and single track. Anyways another friend that I raced dirt bikes with, who is a snocross mechanic (for Garth Kuafman) by winter and motocross mechanic (for Tucker Hibbert) by summer, called and said  Tucker was looking for places to ride mountain bikes and some people in the area to ride with. I guess they're coming out to ride my trails pretty soon and I was asked to help build a new insane track at Tucker's house.
