Loon/WV Opening Days

[MR. JOHN DEERE !]

its been going we'll. i'll have a couple good days, then some really bad ones. the good thing is, my pain really isn't 100% my hip at this point. its now about 15% hip, and 85% lower back. ive been limping for 2.5 months now, so the overcompensating will create that issue. so once i can get rid of the limp, i think ill be good. i think im in at about 65-70% recovery. im able to ride my bike which is great, it actually feels awsome after i ride.

going to nam today once i can shake the hangova.

are you back from your bug tasting contest? let me know, we can head over to lw's.

[Enzo]

jd glad you're making some progress. i've officially become the jacoby ellsbury of T32. my lower back pain won't go away. got an MRI this week and cortisone shots are probably in my near future. This summa's been a complete disaster...

I'm going nuckin futz!!!

[MR. JOHN DEERE !]

enzo, that sucks, cortezone shots eh! do they any pt options for you or is that already not working? i agree with the summer from hell, i want to do so much but i can't. the pain come and goes when it wants. ill be at a family cookout and ill be feeling awesome, but on a day when i want to go for a bike ride or hit the gym, i cant even put my sneakers on. im the only person in the gym thats allowed to were flipflops in there.

well get you **** together, there is no such thing as going into a season, even with the slightest nagging injury's and working them out as you go on.

Polaris here!

I just got back from a MTB recon mission. SUCCESS! Located 1+ miles of sweet singletrack downhill in my own hometown. Technical cliff edge, banked turns, slick rock, rock gardens, etc. I've been riding this area for 10+ years and now this!? The only question I have is how to loop it so we can ride for a couple of hours and finish on the DH. Better yet, two loops on the DH. The climbing is easier than WV, but still a grind at times. Bucyrus, lube up that nomad. Big duke, get on that bullit and run some hills. Glenn, you're all set. The only question is when....

[stevo]

fcuk guy did you injure a digit cuz that's a long post for you...the secret stash must be good! i'm in with shock tops and venison popsicles afta right

[polaris]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that they get a few more public bathrooms in Haverhill, MA.

[MR. JOHN DEERE !]

guy fatha, that pick from mah-toowin, oh my bad haver-hellhole looks like that pair of white underwears in our thread from march.

heading to storyland this weekend, ill be thinking of all of you, while im trying to stuff my fat a$$ into those little seats on the rides!

so gfy's and have a cold one for me!

Padron 1964 Anniversary Box Pressed Maduro

Can't wait to try the 601

[Gleb]

Deciding that now is the time to make my comeback. Been working my ass off this summer to pay off my Bruins season tickets, get a new(ish) Subaru and upgrading my bike. Haven't even got to skate much at all.

The only thing I've had time for is to ride JD's Dale...yeah thats what he calls it. Its in the shop now getting torn apart because I managed to snag a Santa Cruz Blur LT2 frame. Its paired with a sweet Fox RP23 and I got a Magura Thor 140 earlier in the summer. I'm sharing the wealth and passing the frame on for super cheap to another friend of mine.

Like you, JD, I'm in rehab as well. I went over the bars earlier in the summer and tore some ligs in my shoulder. Managing aright and getting most of the strength back so I'm down for some rides. You guys should make it down to Harold Parker State Forest. They have some killer terrain.

One last thing...drug test on Monday for another job. Wish me luck

you got it, that's a mighty fine stick! the smoke for today: la aroma de cuba, long finish, med-strong, peppery, nubbed it- but it's no box pressed maddy

sorry you had to wait so many times at the rock but i found piles of scat everywhere.....fascinating sh!t! no pics tho


hey gleb there must be a drug you can take to pass your drug test no??

[polaris]

I see that there's a nice 10' Stewart Hydrohull for sale outta Hampton this morning. Must be some fundraiser so's you can start sweeping.

[MR. JOHN DEERE !]

gleb welcome back, long time no talk ! i see you caught the mt bike bug, that's just great because its expensive and more dangerous than snowboarding. i thought ive seen it all between you and macchattastasche on the snow, you on a bike i gotta see it so get your a$$ up to attitash this weekend.

guys, ill be at attitash on saturday finally getting my bike on a downhill track. i drove by the place twuce this weekend on way to and from storyland, im jonsin. anyone up for it, is welcome to join me. i was then thinking if we could get the guys/gals together for a cookout at tbeb in the evening at like 5ish. then some some armoured pool shooting, and nightly shenanigans could be instore. the oversurved is more than welcome to crash, plenty of room.

enzo if you want to bring your veggie burgers, could you just cook them at home, so i dont insult my grill.

so gfy's and i hope ya choke on a bottle cap!

who eats veggie burgers??? don't be such a b'yatch. you're still pissed for having to cook me dinner at man camp!!

not sure if we can make it. this summa just went from bad -> worse. the wif and I currently have starring roles in the depressing tale of "Old Yeller". fkn sux!!

Dr. Gleb can you please prescribe me some anti-depressants?

[Gleb]

Stevo, not a drug but a drink. Taking it wednesday now. Should be good to go.

Yeah the mtnbike bug def got me and made me pretty poor. Although before I got the Santa Cruz frame I had upgraded almost every part on the cannondale for less than half price. I already had a trip to Mt. Snow a few months back. Took one trip down on our own bikes and decided to rent theirs. They had Jamis Bam 1s that were sweet. Gonna be in CT this weekend for a slalom race but count me in for next weekend. What about highland park?

As far as me doing stupid **** on my bike...its way worse than some **** I've done on a snowboard. I got myself all the gear for downhilling. a full face helmet, a 661 pressure suit and even some padded shorts to protect the assets.

Enzo, unfortunately the only anti-depressants I can prescribe come in brownie form.

Kenny Powers Gets Signed By K-Swiss - watch more funny videos

[Gleb]

When I grow up I wanna be like Kenny Powers. A true role model...unlike these characters:

[Gleb]

Glad you like the picture stevo

Just got my Santa Cruz back from the shop and took it out last night. Went riding with a group of people that build the trails at Harold Parker. Already managed to go over the bars but landed on my feet. Anyone up for a ride somewhere this coming week?

[polaris]

I think we are gonna bust a lung or two in Concord, NH on Wednesday evening. It's only 50% uphill, and the DH is pretty sick. 530pm. Call or drop a note here if you are interested.

[Gleb]

I may take you up on that. Going for a 4 hour ride tomorrow to get my wind back. I have a Garmin forrunner 305 gps with a heart rate monitor that is sweet. I just downloaded the data and it explained why I was dying on my ride on thurday. Taking 2 weeks off from doing anything made my heart rate go up to 196. If tomorrow is a little more successful I'll def tag along on wednesday.

[polaris]

Hey Gleb!

Are you joining us tonight? I sent you an e-mail but didn't hear back. We usually ride for a couple hours and then go eat a big meal.

[Gleb]

Looks like you'll have to count me out. I snapped the rear derailleur hanger and was waiting for UPS tracking number to tell me when it'll come in. It says that it'll be here for friday. I would get it at a shop but the only one that had it was going to charge $40. I bought 2 of them including shipping for 41. I snapped it while cranking up hill on the street without hitting anything so I'm a little annoyed. I'm not going to be able to go at all next week because of work but I'll be good for sunday the 22nd.

BTW, started my preseason workout with P90x. Highly recommend it. I just downloaded it instead of buying it on ebay for $100 or from the infomercial for $240

[polaris]

Thanks for the smokes guy!

I just finished one of them. A smooth cigar, very similar to the padrone. I smoked to the nub and it was good to the finish!

Thanks for coming to concord for a ride. Maybe gleb can join us in exeter this week.

[stevo]

nice! and no problemo big guy, ill keep an eye out for a t32 601 broken pallet discount. next time there will be enough for johnny aire, rick o'shea, and ben dover too!!

it was worth the trip especially the coont uphill downhill!

im a game time decision this week since right now i have an ice bag on a puffed ankle

[Hollywood 90210]

I am travelling to Dallas this week but I think I am on for next week. Let me know when and where. Have a good week.

[polaris]

Anyone riding this coming Sunday. I was going to hike, but I could always change up and MTB if anyone is planning a ride.

Steve: Did yer new SUP bite yer ankle?

[stevo]

polaris ive morphed into a couch pillow drivin my sup, scooter, and mtn bike by joystick.....lots of ice cubes in the drink and crushed ice in the baggie.

no go this week in exeter but i should be in awesome shape for next week!

[inkaholic]

Sounds like you fellas are having some overall good summers.

J.D. how is the recovery coming and are we going to see you at the Copper RTTC?

Ink

[MR. JOHN DEERE !]

inky whats up! probably not going to make the rttc. i know excuses are like a$$holes, but my 1st days on the snow appear to be around jlate december early january. im working on light sqauts starting next week, but ive been able to ride my bike for about a month now. its amazing how good it feels after a ride. every once in a while, my hip will pop or click doing the day to day stuff liek walking. but ill let you know, because your a$$ will be picking me up and hauling me up the hill!

on a side note spoke with reama$$ last night, we were throwing around a late january trip out to summit. but we'll see, i got invited to go to a heli trip in mid february, so it could be tight.

hows kai doing, is he the bitche$' ba$tard yet in the hills?

mack is kicking a$$ and doesn't even care about the names. all she cares about are big trucks, rocks, and going down big hills on dadda's bike. just wrapping up a week with her down the cape, she's fearless!

gfy's!

[MR. JOHN DEERE !]

ink, right after i posted up guess who called me ? the savidge, team garmin eh ? wow, he's like a rock star now, travelling all over the world, pounding beers and taking after business after hours with the mit. i told him he should have his own penicillin kit if he wants to be a pro.

hes got a lung buster up at mt. washington this weekend, i guess he ditched the mt bike for the road bike. still rides a bit here and there at copper in the winter. if we do get out to co this year, i got to catch up with the animal and see what he learned.

At the last rttc that I attended I'm standin' there and this skinny little dude says hey right in front of me. I look at him and he says you don't remember me? It was the savidge and I didn't place him at all. He even had a little hair on his face. Totally blew me away.

Walker said that he gets out once in a while. I would love to ride with him and D-money again some time.

If you and reamus plan a trip out let me know. I'll get the gang together again.

KarverKai is kickin a$$ in gymnastics right now. ALL the girls love him. From 6yrs to 18yrs. We have been biking a bit and I need to get him back on the skateboard again before the season starts.

I have been riding with a crew on Thursday nights and blasting the down sides. Not so speedy going up but that is ok, save it for the down.
