yeah --- the place is dope!!! when they kids played there for the first time, they asked --- "is this a professional field?"

 Hahaa, that is cool.

 Sounds like it!! But is the outfeild turf?

 all grass --- infield was done a year or so after the outfield and it's some kinda different grass (l think).

 Oh coo coo! U still riding that transition?

 yep -- still pimpin' the yellow/black Tr450 and lovin' it. ------ unlike some of the kids on the baseball teams, it covers my butt when l make mistakes ----- DOH!!!!


mess up a little on the landing? paa!!! no biggie...

fun factor on a bike like that is super high

 LOL!!! Ya man I know what u mean I want one so badly! I wanna race dh but there is no lift acess or real dh trails/ parks where I live so i have to be content riding AM! Which would be amazing too... If i could actually get an am bike! I race 6hr races on a dirt jumper... It blows... And I'd modestly say i shred pretty hard too, so the dj is just not wrking for me lol

 chuckle --- yeah, l could do 90% of what l do on a AM bike or even a nicely built 29er with a little suspension. tiz funny, l used to do half the stuff l'm still doing on hardtails with forks with only about 80 to 100mm of travel -- getting beat up at it but l was 20 years younger then and didn't care. back in the day, suspension was still in the baby phase --- lots of people didn't like it because frankly, a lot of it sucked..

suspension in general is waaaaay better then it used to be, boyee howdy it is. l had a Dean Z Link built with a Hanebrink Zyzyx (sp?)... 6" travel fork with Vbrakes to give an idea of when it was made... a few Aeon Isis's and a whole bunch of other "cutting edge" designs which compared to how today's bikes are made, they seem like Kmart blue-light specials. They were dope back in the day but a joke compared to current designs.

well, baseball hasn't changed much... the balls are still round and the plates are still square --- only thing different it seems is the dumb ass shit the pro players are getting jack'd up on to be a better player.

 PREACH IT BRO!!! 100% true my dad doesn't even comprehend the cost of the stuff now a days and doesn't get all the derailuer stuff or the fork costs or anything he is from the age of the fully rigid trek 850 with a xt derailuer with a mechanical pencil streigth spring in it and climbing handles with like 250mm bars the thing is ancient and a true relic from the 90s! Now a days all i do is ride and complain bc i don't enjoy the bike I bought bc it isn't for me i love jumping but i race and it sucks for racing anything but dual slolum!

 jack just turned 12 --- he's pretty normal as far as height. might just be the view of the camera... the ump is around 15ish or so, about a foot taller than Jack

 Yeah whenever I'm behind the plate I never kneel, I'm always crouching. Better angle, etc.
