Bicycles........ leg power type

[xtremelow]

@Midnight- no they are a blue an white plaid short.

Also thanks to Kona I have just bought myself another pedally bike....... Love the dirt jumper bikes and it gives me something to ride downtown while Buellchick is riding her bicycle since my full susp trail bike really isn't the best for sidewalks and skate parks.

So I got myself a Specialized P1 , it is route, got it for a steal off eBay so I should see it sometime next week. Can't wait to go out and hurt myself on it

I had a P.2. Fun bike, though a bit heavy.

 

[xtremelow]

Yeah I heard they weigh 30lbs+ I know the P2 will weigh a bit more having the derailure, extra spockets, longer chain, extra brake, and what not. But I guess I could just lose a couple pounds or lift a few more weights so the weight doesnt play a factor, but none the less it should be fun.

Still have to see how I like the 26" front tire and 24" back tire setup. Supposed to be for faster accelerating and the 24" wheel is stronger than a 26" wheel.

Here is what it will look like, mine has urban tires front and back though.

Well road around downtown for a few hours today jumping and bouncing from obstacle to obstacle.

My FSR Expert isn't the beat but has it's high point, benounces to her Buellchicks Trek worked great to make a quick Dirt Junper after dropping the seat all the way. Gave me a real feel for what I am coming I to with my new bike on the way.

Oh and sitting down at the skate park, damn I am only 27ysr old but did I ever feel all of it plus sone with all the super cool 14-16 yr olds talking trash to each other and bummin smokes from one another. Well guess I will just look like that old guy wearing all my gear and riding slow once my new bike shows up. But when you have to worry more about making it into work come Monday I guess looking super cool doesn't matter as much anymore [smirk]

anyway think I am going to put together a small compilation video with me on my pedal bikes since my Buell won't be done till spring[up]

Yep, I know exactly how you feel. If you have kids it gets even worse. I walk my bike threw stuff for that same reason.

no offense but unicycles look like the dumbest things to me

To each his own. I really have fun on mine. It's a challenge, and not many people can ride them. Once I iron out some kinks I'm going to try doing trail riding on my unicycle with a nobby tire.

 

[xtreme6669]

I can make it from the side walk of my drive way across the street on mine... Haven't put too much effort into it because its been so freeking hot out but I think a few more hours and I should have it mastered!! Let me know when your going out on the trail with yours... I would like to see that and maybe give it a go.

 

[xtremelow]

Here you go Midnight and xtreme6669

 

[xtremelow]

Here is some of the trach I hope to be able to do in the not so need future[smirk][up]

 

[Kidder]

Roadbike - Specialized Allez Elite (2008) - don't ride as much as I should.
MTB - Gary Fisher Marlin (1997) - still going strong - try and ride 3x/week. I'm ready to upgrade to a Specialized Rockhopper Comp Disc. I ride single track so I prefer a hardtail.

No pics of either.

 

[konarider94]

nice videos extreme. i havent seen that second one before. if you want to be able to ride that good you will probably need to give up all your other hobbies. unless your naturally awesome but if your like me its gonna take a lot of hours of riding.

 

[xtreme6669]

this has always been one of my fav. bike videos.

[xtremelow]

Here are a few shots I got today while I had my GoPro taking some shots.

Didnt do to bad for having never dropped into a pool, half-pipe, or quarter-pipe. Didnt fall just had the chain snap at one point, must have been old, luckily there is a bike shop only a few blocks away so I just stopped in grabbed a new chain and was off again.

Oh had my gear on too, just got my elbow guards this afternoon when I got home, but I also had a back protector under the shirt. Love how the kids think wearing gear is old, lame, or funny. They will get it sooner or later.

And the bike, sorry for the fish eye effect but oh well

 

[konarider94]

thats a sweet park

 

[xtremelow]

Yeah the pics don't do it justice. I am going to have Buellchick video me attempting to use each obstacle within a minute or so. Should be fun and a challenge at the same time. Also it will allow for a view of the whole skate park, it isn't anything super sweet but it is nice.

 

[buellwanted]

that is a sweet park i ride bmx there sometimes

Short Clip

 

[kalifornia]

the park by my house has the entire surface painted. i cant get much traction. why would they paint it??

 

[xtremelow]

Looks??? you also have to figure most of these parks have been drawn up by individuals who know what needs to be where BUT in the end the city is who executes the build of the park. So you might have some city official who knows nothing along with the city workers who are building it, thinking they have a great idea to make it look better, doing more harm than good.

 

[xtremelow]

Here is the longer version, has a couple other clips in it

I still need to work on my bunny hops, the first one is flawless, but the second I start late and luckily the side of the rail is slanted otherwise I would have biffed it.
