The weather has definitely turned here. I'm ready! Jim is ready but I'm thinking he's a little daunted by the whole boot packing Highlands Bowl portion of his early seasonOriginally Posted by pcdenver

what lights are you using Big M?
I think I will spend more time on the carving stick, not sticks, this year.

Had some lite and motion from like 10 years ago, cost a fortune back in the day, went budget this time with 2 magicshine 1000 lumen, one for me cranium and one for the bars. Preliminary backyard tests are quite impressive.

I'm using Magichsine also. Two 900 lumens, one bar mount, one helmet mount. My first Magichshine was recalled due to the battery shenanigans. I finally received the replacement battery 6 months after sending the original in.
Out here the helmet mount is next to useless this time of year. The trails are way too dry and it is like driving with your high beams on in the fog. Too much dust unless you are leading!
I also have a Niterider HID that never sees the night time rides anymore. For the size of the battery and the light output Magicshine blows the HID away.
I think I will spend more time on the carving stick, not sticks, this year.

that light ought to last at least five minutes, up until you try your ostrich impersonation

Remeber that time you were trying the switchback on SilverFox and got a grip imprint on your chest? Now THAT was funny! Yah, we rode that last night and saw the scene of the "accident".

Rode 12+ miles on centenial cone with Farmer yesterday, we parked at an upper lot, and Farmer let me ride the downhill to the mayhem gulch lot, and picked me up. Called me phukken shuttler. Ink, I am in for Thursday night, I'll try and make it up a little sooner if I can
mario
Ps found an old niterider handlebar mount and was able to screw my lite right to it, no more annoying lite vibration on the descents

very cool. meet you there as soon as the G can ride (he's just walking)
Trench Digger
Any interest in riding Falcon tomorrow night? The Thursday crew will be there with antelope for grillin'. No worries if you don't, I like to ride my back yard.
Good place to work on your skills as well. The place is a blast. More about Valmont here www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXx6to3GEFs
PC, get G a Strider type runbike now so that he can start working on the balance for riding. He won't need to go the idiot training wheel route and he will just ride away when he gets on a pedal bike.

Trench Digger
not so much. Your back yard=big fun, Falcon=sufferfest. I'll give you a yell as I am heading out

You're welcome and Thanks.
Oh, the possibilities...
That's funny but, yeah, If he's walking get him out in the yard/neighborhood park and get him working on the basics. The only reason not to start on day 1 was that there wasn't any snow.Just like discipline... starts on day 1.

4 1/2 hours for the Runes Ohana. You and Angie missed out! What a great way to start the season. Vid is posted at http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulleti...045#post353045

Ink, it is incredible to see how far KK has come. I like how he was doing some quick edge to edge turns. Looks like you already have him riding some forward angles too. He should be rippin it up by the end of the season on the hardboots.
Can't wait for Christmas to get here, hope to ride with KK!
I think I will spend more time on the carving stick, not sticks, this year.

OVR, yes, KK is running his stance angled forward on the Virus. If it wasn't he wouldn't be able to tip the board up, it is pretty narrow, even for his little feet.
Dude, Sorry you missed the opening this season, it was sooo good, I mean sucked. Dude you didn't miss anything.
Angie, I kind of hinted at the prospect of us going in the December Best Bets thread but was unsure at that point. We decided around 12:30 Saturday afternoon and left around 2:00. Since I was getting gear and stuff packed I didn't think of posting that we were going. Sorry. Like I stated earlier, it was well worth the family time spent in the car. I actually figured if anyone else would be going it would be Jim and you since he is always jonesing to slide.
