So wifey just finished grad school, and that means I'm mobile again. I'm getting the resume all freshened up and am trying to reach out anywhere I can to see what's out there.

I have BA and MA...

I also rode it this weekend, and I liked it better than the 26" Firebird as a trail bike. YMMV.

I'm coming up Friday morning. I will be piloting a houseboat flying a Grateful Dead flag. We have a happy little crew, including a good photographer and some goofy dogs. I'm unsure which bikes we'll...

Bump for coming up soon ...

Roll call for 2013?

Way to get that one! This one was always on my to-do list, and it looks like you did it right.

Pivot's bringing the demo trailer to Mt. Airy this weekend. I may not be done shopping for the season, but we'll see ...

Nice work. Love that ski ...

Blood doping or EPO?

My new whip for 2013:

Fatback! It has been funny getting used to the SRAM twist shifters again. I like the bike and think it...

I recently ebayed a set of Sun Ringle Black Flag Expert wheels for $150. The same seller on ebay lists them with different axles and wheel sizes somewhat regularly.

Hunt and snipe wisely.

Billings allegedly has some sick disc golf for non riding days

Well, if folks are recruiting from there, that's definitely good news. The question is whether you want a cubicle job or whether you want to go skiing. The PWC or Deloitte people will definitely work...

Most people who work in econ work for banks and consultancies ngos/nonprofits/etc or for the government. Those jobs are a little hard to come by right now because of austerity at the federal and...

The sorts of conditions you're describing are much more common in the northern Rockies than in Yurp or the PNW.

In one sense, sure: the snowpack is getting weaker when that happens. You can have...

Well played. Well played.

I Just set up a XC wheelset with some of the new Specialized Ground Control 2.35s.

Don't have any ride time on them yet, but they get nice reviews and the weight is about as light as you can get...

You can thank me. I'm posting from the Wasatch right now instead of from south of the Mason-Dixon, which appears to have substantially better snow ...

:confused:

I will see you boys up there tomorrow. Brown cloudveil jacket and motherships. Skiing with mrs. shred on kikus and naxos unless she is slowboarding on her ramp tumbleweed. Ask for change. Peace!
...

As a former KSPC DJ, I will be a good alumnus and mention it here.

Fun college station for the beginning of your drive to Mammoth from L.A. Or, even better, the entirety of your drive to Baldy.

Everyone who enjoys the pow in Davis this weekend, or opening weekend at Schaeffer, or the Trek demo van at Wakefield, or any of the other festivities going on this weekend, you have me to thank.
...

They also explode horrifically and contribute to spreading fire, or at least that's the old wives tale. Not that it looks like this is a location that is likely to burn.

Dope!

Can you go ride lift-served or at a Boulder Bike Park or Ray's kind of place? Go with a couple buddies, maybe even pony up for an hour or two of coaching and clinicing.

Nothing like practicing...

I'm taking out my 280(?) flex 195 Iggy FGS tomorrow. Gonna be mostly groomers, a few sloppy bumps, and a pond skim. :yourock:

It is fun running over death cookies, crud, slop, large dirt patches,...

Let's hash out terms: $500 good? I would bet you a lot more but I don't think some rube from Florida is good for it. I'm not going to waste money on a lawyer trying to go after some deadbeat who...

Your Gorge details are here, sir:

Guess I'm doing the Post Pavilion unless I pick up stakes and move this summer ...

First: search function JONG!

They've really been pushed hard by the industry for hardtails and XC applications because they roll over small obstacles well without requiring much rider input and...

Looks like he went for a serious beater straight down the gut of Slushman's to me. Though I didn't get a great look before the beatering commenced in earnest.

To add to rideit's point:

At the federal level at least (though this may be different for WA local roads), road construction and maintenance is paid for heavily out of general revenues from the...

Booo. I'm not going to make it this weekend. All travel plans which we haven't already started paying for have been canceled for the Shredalot household.

If anyone wants to carpool to ride DC area...

Heaving around somewhat inelegant equipment so you can huck your meat is part of being a 16 year old boy. Why deprive him of that?

I see they have branched out from having people who don't understand the economy and financial markets write about those topics to having people who don't understand skiing write about skiing. Their...

Regardless of which foot is downhill, your weight should be about 50/50.

Also, if your tails are squirting out and you're shimmying backwards, you are probably leaning too far forward; and vice...

Think I'll be seeing you out there, then! Didn't realize the forecast was shaping up this nicely.

Hooray!

FS: 125mm drop Reverb. 30.9 diameter.

Basically brand new. I bought this from rideit fairly recently for a bike I'm building up. It's just a bit too long for the frame and person for whom it is...

I have listed both these items on ebay in an attempt to clean out my basement. The bidding seems really low so far. I'm hoping it goes up a bit by tonight when the listings end, but if it doesn't...

Guess I'm gonna be Fatback fat-biking soon enough!

http://www.fatbackbikes.com/#!blog/c7qc

I know there are some people who are into the fat bikes around here. I'm stoked to get out on the new...

Homeland is worth checking out.

Dammit. Cover my airfare and you've got one more fat old beater for the team. Say hi to Angela for me.

I dislike bottle cages and prefer a Camelback. I always knew you seemed like an idiot/jerk. :biggrin:

I leave shortly. Wifey is leading a slowboarding clinic at TLine tomorrow, so I will be mucking around on my own.

I'm thinking of walking around over at Whitegrass/TLine sidecountry/wherever on...

I have replaced an axle on a Soob with NAPA brand myself. I have also tried a split boot myself.

If I were in the OP's shoes, I would go split boot in this instance. The guts of the joint probably...

Dibs! (See a pattern developing here?) Got any other tasty Trance-X takeoffs so I can save on shipping? I'm currently hunting for an x9 1x10 drive train with a 30 tooth bling ring and an SLX...

I have used the Contact Switch on a demo bike and was impressed with the function. The reviews do not seem to indicate a propensity for exploderation. If you can find one for that sweet a price, it...

Cashish has been sent for the Reverb. Thanks for the nice deal. It's going on scrublover's Trance X, so it will have a nice home.

Usually, Chip's updates at Whitegrass are a good resource for off-piste conditions. Sounds pretty thin, but skiable if you're brave.

I'm leading the ski...

Frame dibs placed.

Well, keep that shit in your pack anyway and just pull out your shovel and probe. You don't want to lose extra gear and sammiches (or gloves that you pull off as you go for your beacon) on the slide...

Awesome! To the top!
