    Thumbs up Three eternal truths

    1. I goddamn suck on a mountain bike. Just a complete hopeless, no talent hack.

    2. Even though #1 remains true, every time I ride I have a stupid, shit eating grin for the rest of the day.

    3. Post Canyon is just ridiculously fun. It's just a giant playground of awesomeness.

    1. Me too and it makes me sad

    2. Me too, especially when the ride doesn't end in a visit to the hospital

    3. Having never ridden Post Canyon, I'll take your word for it
    A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

    I agree, but I hate elevated skinnys even more.

    Still would really like to check out Post, sounds like a big a amusement park that even has rides for the little kids.

    yeah, places like Post, Whistler, the Shore, Black Rock, etc are about as close as you can get to disneyland for an adult.

    Crashing when you're going fast is fun. Crashing when you're going slow is the worst. I always end up bouncing around on one leg like I'm doing a Mr. Bean impression.

    FYI, Just got back from Post and it's still rad.
