Great job everybody, I love reading all the progress going on. Make those videos!! I FINALLY got some riding in tonight for a few hours despite the 20 degree temps, felt real good although I felt kind of rusty. lol! I'm hoping to get a good session in this Saturday.

Gald you made it out Jim!! It was great to see you. Its been awhile. WOW was it a COLD day. I guess for everyone that was riding it was not so bad. But standing there was TUFF. WoW it made my fingers numb. Thanks David for letting me borrow your gloves!
Keep on Riding!
Mark

Awesome video Jim! It was cold yesterday but I went out and rode anyway. It was a good day and I hit my new (oldschool) link a few times yesterday. Elbowglide-Steamroller-Funky Chicken-Spastic frontyard. I use to love doing this link BITD only I used to have the Side Glide mixed in there too, unfortunatly my bars come no where near my seat so I can't add this. I've been working on a few other things as well and have been making pretty good progress, Firehydrant to backwards Elbowglide to single Pinky Squeak & 2 footed Steam. :-)
Can't wait to get back out there again and make an updated vid.

Started hitting boomerangs (to pedals) today. I'm hitting flails every time and started working on decades. My fire-hydrants are starting to get consistent. Started working on funky chickens - they feel weird with the short rear in. I put some Quamen pops on a couple weeks ago. Knowing where your pedals are going to be helps!

Most riding i've done since I started up agian, I rode 4 hours friday, 4 hours Saturday and 3 on Sunday! I must say though I'm starting to get a little lonely riding by myself. I'm hoping this spring I'll hook up with a few riding buddies.

I'm hoping this spring I'll hook up with a few riding buddies. if you live in a place like me, Memphis, get used to being lonely. i can't even catch up with any street riders. the only kids i can find do trails and dirt, and all they care about is "can you hit a double?" to which i reply, "does face-first count?" back on topic ... i've got an hour in the garage and 30 or so minutes outside today, with this LTF. i'm liking the longer cs a lot, but this step over height has put a quick stop to my multi-whips, for now at least.
