Last TR thread of the year. In Texas we're still riding.
I got almost 5 hours in yesterday, def feeling it today. ;D I feel very rusty lately as I haven't got a regular riding schedule for the past month or so due to earlier sunsets/lack of lit places to ride locally. I did kinda accidentally start pumping hikers in a circle yesterday (a little) so I'm going to see if I can get better at that this month. I'm hoping to try out trick of the month as well as I've not learned lardyards.
Are you riding today?

I went out yesterday and it was a lot colder than I hoped. Was going to film some hiker stuff but the wind was making it hard...so I did some back wheel stuff. I'm trying out a different video editor that exports in HD, kinda stoked on that vimeo.com/17546185

Just getting a chance to check in...I got a real session in Last night at the O.G. My back has been hurting since Sundays ride at the BBF. So I have been resting it up. It feels pretty good now. I did almost...ALMOST hit my first double juggler. I think its a mental thing right now because I am getting it around with out scraping the bars and still feeling stable. When I can get over the excitement of doing it the very first time I will be okay from there.
Whoooooaaa last today's riding thread of the year. I am so Impressed we have kept this going the whole year long. Its not a great big community but its a Strong one with commitment. Drama Free and the focus is typically on riding.
Keep on Riding!

really haven't had many good sessions this month, but I had one today. I got to ride in the daylight and landed a front wheel link I've never pulled before. It was a good day

Last night I pulled my very first Double Juggler in a hitchhiker. I was so stoked. I was riding at the Oltorf Garage and no one was watching but I was okay with that because I had been trying and getting closer everyday. In fact I pulled it twice! The second time a few of the guys were watching so I am getting that one down. As soon as I can I will get a good one on film. So I can continue the diary but It was December 11, 2010 that I pulled my first double. Funny thing is about 2 weeks ago I had a dream that I could do it!

Today I got my first Hitchhiker Double Juggler on film. I am pretty stoked about it. When I was going to post it up. I was going to do just the Double Juggler. But I decided after all the comments that I received from Facebook that I would turn it into a Diary and show my progression with Hitchhiker Juggler. While I was watching it back just now I was thinking I could have thrown in my first hitchhiker...that is when it really started back in I think 2008? Its been a good time riding that's for sure.

I think your seat if fine. Just raise it up. You will find it so much easier for everything.

AAAww nice treat today. Thanks Jim!! Sadly I didn't have enough video yesterday for a full todays riding video. I love today's video showing something new. I landed some older links but I was trying to pull something I have not pulled before on film. I just about hit it the first try and couldn't get close the other times. So maybe today I will be able to do it. I will get some water in me..hahaha
Keep on Riding!
