The Daily Grind

Its been a good week.

Got to go to an awesome race last weekend and laugh my way down the track for 2 days straight, so massive props to the dirty bird crew for an awesome event. Too much fun, I'll ride that place whenever the opportunity arises. I went on a pretty fun ride tues too, where there were way more 29ers than 26ers... I'm def curious, especially seeing Wes D. on his and actually ripping some downhills. I may try to steal his and do one of the Triple Crown slalom races on it, seems like it would rail pretty hard. Interesting concept...

Been working a bunch out at the camp, going in super early (for me) and actually enjoying being up at dawn. weird, but whatever works. At least it keeps me out of the bars haha!

Yesterday, i went hiking in Dupont for a lonnggg time yesterday looking at waterfalls. It was sweet, but hiking wore me out, i had to take a nap afterwards. Like Wes says, "hikings for poor people".

Last, Its the weekend!! I'm heading out to Fight Club to build a wallride, cut out some stumps, build some drainage, and patch up some berms. hopefully We'll have a BIG finish line step-up done in the next couple of weeks to so we can get our moto whips on, haha yes!!

Get out and ride something sweet,

Dano out.

Animal wearing animal, PETA eat your heart out.

I've evolved into riding ridiculously expensive bikes all the time now. Also note that I dirt jump on a fully with a fullface helmet. Must be getting old.

Go ride your bikes,

frecklin, its delicious.

so the sun is out, the air is warm and people are riding bikes. or running. or hiking. or climbing. as long as its outside is great. me? im sitting at the shop working, waiting patiently for time off. sitting and waiting. always waiting.

not that work is bad, i like not being broke, and this week is spring break, which means im going into the woods with my bicycles everyday, as opposed to the 1 time in the past 3 weeks.

wow. now thats how ya train. anyways i'm riding around on something new, new to me at least, and thats kinda cool. everyone likes new toys, especially when they're 24 pd slalom bikes. well maybe just me...

anyhow, heres my tentative schedule for rides this week, i'll be signing autographs for the first 45 minutes of each appearance, so be sure to arrive early so you can get a good spot in line.

sun- mtb ride in pisgah, followed by life living and goodtime funhaving. prob the hatchery at 330ish. hit me up and lets pedal.

mon- long ride from the horse stables at 9 am. yeah im getting out of bed, and doing something different than the usual, im thinking a squirrel gap-laurel mtn-pilot rock mess. get on it!

tue- no idea. lets do something fun!

weds- again, no idea.

thurs- heartbreak ridge ride! pretty stoked about this. 4ish at black mtn.

fri- clempson freeride brah broseph session. huckgnar.

sat- jesus is my copilot.

sun- ?

sprinkle it all with healthy doses of pumptracking, dirt jumping, and generally awesomeness and you've got the break.

lets do this!!!!

Icycle 2009

this just in.....














When i got home last night, this image was taped to the door of my magnificent mansion. I'm not quite sure yet who exactly sent it but they obviously are looking for some kind of revenge. Perhaps they feel i've wronged them in some way purely by existing.





who knows? anyhow, we'll find out at the Icycle in a few days, and I must say in the words of the 1986 chevy silverado i saw at the traffic light the other day, that i






word.


the intentions of this person were quite clear though, although this image may have actually been meant for that toaster strudel at bracken mtn bakery.

who knows?

dreamweaver, weave me a dream.

we've got a few things going on here, new things, different things, good things. for one, I've added a hurricane watcher to the blog (scroll down) so yall can see where we'll be this race season. go tornados. go me.

i've also got terrible farts, horrendous digusting things. i like em cause im single but i hope no girls come around soon or we've got a problem. or i might just have to get a cork. a diet change might be in order.

oh yeah, GO GATORS. that was pretty good football playin' thurs by both teams. its a good thing jesus loves us more.

i just built up a fixie/coastie to roll around the city this year, i've yet to actually ride it cause its been cold and im small. those to things never work out well together im learning, but i aint gonna get fat so it is what it is. the icycles coming up in a few weeks, right after the rave party/fundraiser for the team, so a busy schedule is coming up. thats good though, i've been bored lately. i need some schoolin so i can get smarterer and shit.

i watched rocky last night, so training will commence at 4 am tommorrow, or the next day.
