well i don't have any cool stories and i haven't been riding that long, but here's some pics anyway:

it started with a big wheel. the kids in the neighborhood would build ramps and i'd jump that thing. i don't have any pictures of that unfortunately, but i do have this:

when i was in high school someone tried to teach me how to ride a dirt bike. on a gravel road. it was hurty badness.

so i was actually afraid of bikes until i layed my peepers on my first bike. that's when i realized i need to learn to ride:


my first ride through jemez:


and now i never ride the bmw because i've got my monster. so many things to do to ...


one of these days i'll take better pics of the monster. i swear

Nice, Joel!  That little kid doesn't look a darned thing like you, though.   Wink

Have fun in India.  Hope to see you in Albuquerque this summer....if it ever comes.
