We got nothing but rain this weekend so I decided to session the Ghetto Man's trails in the rain. VERY slippery.

Damn! Its raining!
Nice jumps though!

The rain shut everything down this weekend. Frown

I did the best I could in that unfamiliar slippery wet muck. That shit was deadly slick dude. I will 100% be back for the whole set when they are dry.
I love the grass on the jumps. This was the first time they had been ridden all season. I will upload the rest of the pics later, I snapped a few cool ones. Smile

Awesome! It didn't rain much here in the FAR east end. Really cold both days, needless to say I rode anyways LOL. Riding in rain ftw.

You are lucky man. It rained and misted ALL weekend at the cottage. We made the best of it by drinking lots of beer and then got a tiny bit of biking in on Sunday (between storms).

mcdoogus (Aug 31, 2009 at 9:33)

recklessness (Aug 31, 2009 at 10:06)

Halibooooooo.

mcdoogus (Aug 31, 2009 at 11:42)

holy shit. how am i supposed to get up in cottage country?

recklessness (Aug 31, 2009 at 11:43)

When you figure it out, take me with you. LOL.

mcdoogus (Aug 31, 2009 at 11:59)

lol, we could hitch hike with our bikes all the way up there.

recklessness (Aug 31, 2009 at 12:18)

LOL, ride up. Would probably only take like 7 days to get there.

That's the only downside to jumps with pits in the middle eh? Damn mud.

recklessness (Aug 31, 2009 at 10:50)

The pits were sick. I really like this set and want to re-create them at Ghettonia.

holybmx (Aug 31, 2009 at 11:17)

Oh yah, pits are awesome. Just sucks when it rains if you don't have drainage.

recklessness (Aug 31, 2009 at 11:17)

These ones weren't flooded thankfully. Yay sand.

holybmx (Aug 31, 2009 at 11:18)

Sand has advatages. Just slipperly as hell from grass?

recklessness (Aug 31, 2009 at 11:24)

Extremely slippery.

holybmx (Aug 31, 2009 at 11:41)

I know what you mean. If my buddy doesn't maintain his jumps grass, weeds, and corn grow on and in the way of them.

recklessness (Aug 31, 2009 at 11:44)

I want a jump with corn growing on it!! "Recklessness' Corn Roast and Jump Jam" ....I can see it now.

holybmx (Aug 31, 2009 at 12:30)

It's pretty ghetto because the corn ánd weeds grow like 5 feet above the lip.

recklessness (Aug 31, 2009 at 12:31)

Go big or eat corn?

holybmx (Aug 31, 2009 at 12:33)

or sand and weeds. Mainly that dill shit that smells.

brian00bmx (Aug 31, 2009 at 14:44)

recklessness (Aug 31, 2009 at 14:50)

Lies Brian, you don't bathe.

brian00bmx (Aug 31, 2009 at 14:53)

i can see the rain on the vid.. Frown

summer is leaving all of us

recklessness (Sep 1, 2009 at 6:28)

Summer didn't make an appearance until I got back home from vacation. Frown

In the end, riding in the rain is better than no riding.

cyberhawk (Sep 1, 2009 at 7:15)

true ! i even ride trials in the wet due to disc brakes tup

but still some surfaces are very slippery and not to be ridden.. but eey.. we still cant buy sun shine Wink

recklessness (Sep 1, 2009 at 9:03)

I'll take what I can get. Biking is always fun, just sometimes a bit more dangerous.
