Moon Shadows are Evil

I just don't get why you need to be so obnoxious about things all the time. Would you actually roll your eyes at someone and speak like that face to face? Most people wouldn't react like that if they said you had to kill your mother.

Given the real life drama you've actually gone through I don't know why you'd go out of your way to create more fake drama. I understand this is how you vent but you have your own thread for that.

Yes I would roll my eyes and tell Pearl that was a f'ing supid comment to his face, and it would be followed up by some chuckles afterwards. Only a handful of people on here have talked to me for more than 10 min and I think they may get it, probably not. It takes be a few times of talking to someone in person to start busting their balls, but once it is on, it's on. IDK, Maybe it is all in my head that anyone gets my sarcasm. It not like I am sitting my desk screaming at my computer and getting all worked up or something. I just give things straight up, I don't sugarcoat stuff and I am not good at that not saying anything if I don't have anything nice to say business. BTW, business has a funny spelling, bus-i-ness, who comes up with this shit. Anyways, I will try and be queit for the rest of the day.

Kevin, what about a 24" cruiser? I'd imagine that would split the difference, though obviously that's just a hypothesis on my part, as my DJ experience is zero.

I am actually taking that into consideration. I actually jumped a cruiser for awhile when I went from 26" down to 20" back in college. Looks like there are a few good options out there. I am going to try a 20" and then see.
 
i think we've spoken for a total of like 15 minutes, maybe 20 total. we were at halters together that one day, then the six pack. where do i fall? i think in terms of efriends, we're like BFFs. 😀

Rollin on twenties
While the rest of the world is on or thinking about 29” even and inquiring about even a larger size wheel, I have returned to my roots (shallow be they may) and tried out a 20” again. The first time back to the trails on twenties was like a shock to my system. I felt every bump, stick, rock. Jumping, the rear end feels so short and not having a front brake took alittle bit of getting used to if I wanted to bail out. I had my son with me and I took alittle spill (didn’t eat shit, just kinda sat down) and he laughed at me and preceded to tell me I fell over and over and over. Glad to see I am raising him right. Rode alittle bit this morning and the bike feels better. The bike is just so easy to throw around and I think I am gonna stick with the little bike for jumping. I know eventually I am going to trash something on my EWR and riding a 20” the financial impact of trashing something is much, much less. So that is pretty much where I am at. Now maybe I will buy a 20” instead of just borrowing colins. Thanks by the way!

Bye-Bye Full Squish
That didn’t take long. Buy bike, fix up bike, sell bike. Only rode the thing 4 or 5 times. You can call me Manny for the day as I learned it from watching him. In any case, this has brought peace to my house as the # of bikes in the garage seems to be directly related to my wife’s tolerance level for putting up with me. 4 bikes, all good. Once a 5th bike (the 20”) entered the garage, my wife noticed immediately and then little thing like breaking the rear window in her convertible becomes this huge deal. Same thing last year when I added a 5th bike with the mary, two days after it is in the garage, she starts asking questions. I think it is because I have places for 4 bikes and a 5h bike ends up in front of my work bench of on the stand. Anyways, thank god the window breakage was not bike related as that would not have had a good outcome for my bikes. The selling of this bike is also my departure from 9 spd MTB stuff so if I want gears, I will be jumping to 10 spd.

Mooch?
Still on the fence about the mooch race. I will probably end up doing it but I need to get on the ball with longer road rides as I am not doing anything longer than 1.5 hours due to using my bigger chunks of time for jumping. I was going to ride the trance at this race, but that is gone now so 4 hours of technical riding on a 26” HT doesn’t seem that appealing. Is it that technical? I will probably do it….

Is that actually true or are you just saying that so that we get to see Kev again? Don't worry he's not paying attention.

Ruining my reputation of being anti-social is factoring into mu desicion. Also, my non-racer rep is on the line.
 
It is the least technical of the courses, so Pearl speaks the truth. We're using the 2008 course with some modifications. We rode it a few weeks ago and there were no rock gardens and maybe 4 logstacles (or whatever the right expression is). FS could even be called overkill on this course.

OK. I can probably actually ride the course before hand also, so that would help.
