A move in HELL!!


OK OK I said Id never do it again. But 5 years later I find myself doing it. We are moving our auto repair shop down the street. We've decided for a simple reason MONEY!! yup the economy has gotten us and we have to save where ever we can. Now many may or may not know my father but everyone who does tells me how great he is bla bla bla. He drives me insane and pushes every button that can be pushed. Now he may say the same thing but hey that's how we work....Now my POPS keeps everything where I like to get rid of everything. So lets just say we but heads. NOT only does he keep everything but he has moved anything??? A month ago we decided to move and I'm sitting in my office with a desk left. Everything else gone moved set up sweet and looking good. Pop pop on the other hand is still taking in jobs days away from having to be out and has only moved his crap around to find the crap he'd forgotten about...............This is hell and the hardest part is biting my tongue about it all. I mean he is getting old and what old man wants to be told what to do. better yet if you try he'll fight you tooth and nail to find more shit by dumpster diving on the way home and surprising you the next day we Dumpster treats!! hahHhH OMG I need out. I need another gig. I like bikes can I buy a bike shop and leave all this behind? 3 years they say and he'll retire 3 years cant come soon enough. I sell they whole fucking thing or burn it down before doing 3 more.


HELL HELL HELL HELL


oh yea FUCK the punky mom referrals I don't need it

I wanta ride


What is it with the holidays that make me nuts. Besides the fact I'm moving my business with NO help. This season makes me crazy. Is it the money is it the stress of gifting the right gift. I don't know but I cant stand it. A ride at Santos Vortex would take my mind off all this evergreen shit. How about a risky drop to make my heart race with fear and excitement all at the same time. I say next year we skip Christmas and go snowboarding instead. Who's in???

I'm off to buy a speed bag to punch after work tonight!

Training for Snow Shoe


A couple of us are planning a trip to Snow Shoe in June 09. Knowing Im not 100% after my return to the pedal. I need to get fit. Now getting fit requires riding bikes more then one day a week. Ive got the fixie but Ive also got a job family and dog. Soooooo I bought a trainer yesterday. I love it and so does the family. My 9yr old road about an hour then fell out....After dinner I managed to get 3 miles in.


You ask how do I track my miles? Well Ive got a CAT wirless computer. BUT it dosnt have enough range to run off the back tire to the handle bar. So I mounted it to the seat post! So Original I know.

My plan is to start riding 5 miles a night running in differant trainer gears!!

UPDATE. 5 miles last night and it felt great 12/2/08

UPDATE 5 miles with a Capt and Coke 12/3/08

Wind Blown at the Vortex




Sunday past was pretty good minus the wind and

"damaging winds" This was my first ride with my new 661 full face. We were hitting the DJs and every jump I was pulling to the left. So much on my last run I ended up in the wall on the LEFT!!! Bruised and Beat we moved onto the drops. The winds were so high and my impeding balance issue I stuck to the 3 bottom drops and 1 left drop. Nothing to risky but with the conditions there was plenty of risk!! Everything went well through out the morning. Hell we even hit Magic Mnt. I know I know we have NO business on that side of the road ahahahah. It was rough but fun at the same time. I hit some trees got jabbed on some rocks and hung up on my seat once to the point it ripped! I'm sore today but I'm not Timmy ahahaah Hey buddy lay off the smokes
