i hate how they tell you the pod before the day. theres nothing to look forward to. i always go on pinkbike before school starts, print off the pod, and carry it around school reminding myself that i have one true friend- my bike. now its not as exciting

ya didn't they have some photoshopped kid launching in kamloops earlier today, this is a good shot, although i think the fact that it is a pinkbike rider it mike be a bit biased lol, technically we are all PB riders but if he's representin ya know what i mean

stick900-

i usually put them in my locker, and when girls come by they ask 'woah is that you?'
and i reply by saying 'yeah its me... yesterday i was up at kamloops, today i was at whistler before i came to school. and yeah, i have 16500 different bikes.' lol

i also have pods taped inside all of my binders so when i open them up i am reminded of biking, and know that if i can get through the day, my bike is waiting for me at the door.

to giantgloryhole- just to clear things up

my girlfriend's dad (who is married) has a garage full of chicks in bikinis. there, everyone wins. and by having bikini girl pics it doesnt mean youre looking at weak ass porn. ever read sports illustrated, swimsuit edition, most major newspapers (toronto sun) have a girl every week (sunshine girl). hopefully we're straight now lol.
