yo guys. long time since i last posted.

that sounds good Cap. im down for a ride on the weekend. maybe can show you guys my secret track.

[Mitch21]

Oooh, I like secret tracks

 

When I was at tokai yesterday, I pushed up all the way to the roadgap, and then carried on all the way up to the highest jeep track. The highest singletrack there is very steep and technical, its actually quite alot of fun.

[Capricorn]

[Capricorn]

lulz. soz for that. wanted to know if YOU know MITCH21. I met him at Urban Assault. Damn fast rider. Wiped outa badly on the 2nd run and bent his crank.?

[jrussell]

haha i dont know him, but wow, a bent crank?? how does that happen?

[Capricorn]

not sure. he was on the verge of smoking me again when he wiped out. I think he drifted but the crank hit the ground when his tires washed out. or he wiped out cos his crank hit first. not sure. Mitch can give us his version of events. but it sucked nonetheless. brand new cranks IIRC.

 

anyways,would be awesome to have him ride with us. ?Boys got some serious skills.

[Mitch21]

Haha, Capricorn, you are making me sound like a downhill god or something, I dont think Im that good 

 

Anyway, what happened was a washed out in the loose corner at quite a speed, and my inside crank was the first thing to hit the ground hard, so it bent like a spoon.

 

Ya Im really amped to go to tokai, I have only started going there recently and I love it, its amazing to ride there.

[jrussell]

ouch, was that the only damage?

 

Cool! well we should go this weekend?

[jrussell]
