 "Tipp"ing me over the edge with this, damn midterms and project have stopped me from riding for the last three weekends. I'm buying some maglights and duct tape and going for a midnight rip
  • 6 4
 I feel yah! Im studying for a nursing midterm and have several big projects due, riding is not in my immediate future Frown
  • 26 1
 Stick with it, Cyclepath. My wife works for a hospital, the nurses make Bank! You'll be able to afford whatever bike you want, and fly to Whistler.. just got to hammer through, just like a climb.. it's worth it when you get to the top and you forget about the climb pretty quickly.. trust me.
  • 5 1
 Yea well it is more the snow holding my ass back from hitting the trails. Bringing out the skis and the wax baby!

 sorry boys, but mnt bikes are NOT scary. And, if you've ever heard Tippie talk, you know that he is the opposite of scary. boo

 I've met Tipp twice at the western open in Golden, love this man. That said, you think he isn't scary? Imagine a man that laughs that much at midnight in an old sawmill during a thunderstorm. Scooby and the gang have no chance,
  • 5 0
 I think mountainbikes can be a bit scary, sometimes.

 yeah when they are way to hammered flying down the trail

 I feel your pain. On my calendar for Saturday all it says is study. They said engineering you would be fun. They said you'd enjoy yourself. They said you can still have a life. They lied.
  • 1 0
 But just like nursing, with engineering you'll have the money for many bikes.. Even if you can't ride them all Wink

 Things that are difficult to accomplish, come with greater reward. Learning it all is the hard part, using it is the good part.. Who knows, with an ME degree you could end up designing bikes.. Yeah, exams suck. but hey, you still have a summer/ winter/ spring breaks, right?

 Cyclepath30& Armyfork you can add me to your list of guys who have midterms to do! I honestly got a comment from a guy a while ago criticizing me for making such a lame excuse as to why I could not ride! I reckon Im vindicated now! Hope he reads the above comments And tippie your the bomb man. I thought Mike Meyers was going to come out and do a parody of Halloween, Yeah baby Yeah!

 Ye same for me, haven't been on a ride since mid august do to moving and studying... it's a bitch sometimes..but got to stay focused. Shipping down my bike next week and hopefully I can ride a little in the weekends before too much snow dumps.

 Nice work on your first video Margus, nice crew with Connor and Tipp to work with!
  • 6 0
 Yo Margus, I can only say hats off to you on that nug! Filming in the dark, in the rain, trying to keep focus and on what looked like some gnar sections, that's truly impressive! We have a night shoot planned soon, so will be studying your little work of art!

 Wow!! seems like a lot of people only want to hear music like dub-step or indie pop/rock annoyance kinda disappointing. I wish people weren't so closed minded with music. Video was awesome and the music actually set the mood especially the eclectic choice of WU-Tang. Props on the video and music.

 WU TANG CLAN AINT NOTHING TO F**K WITH!

 This one is seriously outstanding. Great great video, great editing, great song choice. Also the first video I saw that really gets the feeling of a night ride across. Only wish it was longer, it gets so much momentum going...

 Looks like the NightRider Pro 3000 on his helmet. Lots of light, I can vouch for that. Halloween, raining cats and dogs, wind bringing down branches... zombies lying in wait, I need to go for a ride! Later!

 I have a simple NR 700pro that is fantastic when mounted on the lid. I can see little spiders and other crawly creatures on all the rocks. Sadly, I only have another 250 lumens on the bars for static position lighting.

 Alright. That was bad ass.
