    Nice work!! I recently found a very worn buffalo nickel under the front of the front seat. Just gave it a thorough vacuum not long ago. No idea how it got there or when since I've had the truck a while. It's so worn, can't see a date. No pic. 🤷‍♂️ SWAMP DONKEY!!!??!!:rofl::rofl::rofl::inlove:

    What have you been riding lately?

    Exactly!! My nearly 30 year old pump is kinda worn out & a workout on normal tires. It only needed 5psi but that's much different with that much volume 😂 😂 My friend's Cimarron is nice & freshly built. I like the fat ends of the top & down tubes at the head tube. Parts have little wear but...

    I've been wanting to ride Maurice for a while now & finally dragged it out to knock the dust off while the compressor built pressure for the 26"x4" back tire. (The only tire I use a compressor😂😂) Met a friend for a ride on warm windy Saturday!! With an upright, inefficient position Maurice is...

    What have you been riding lately?

    We've had great weather for riding the past few days but the high winds have made it unbearable.😳 I tried to get out early before the wind cranked up yesterday to get some time on my dirt jumper after a couple of adjustments. I took my Dad with me to have some fun plus the benefit of having my...

    Had the chance to meet a friend for more time at the track to end the day. Was too busy catching up since our last hang & didn't take any pics. Hope one from the day before will do..... 🤷‍♂️

    Tracker tribute

    I really dig this build so far!😎😎I picked up this '55 Raleigh Sports that belonged to a life long mechanic a few years ago. The aluminum SA hib was set up with a Shimano 600 arabesque derailleur hooked up to a thumb shifter. It's a lot of fun to ride with a splitter for each gear!!🤓 Just...

    I am fortunate to have 6 Velosolutions pump tracks within 30 min. Valmont Bike Park in Boulder, Avery(?) Park in Superior, Anthem Park in Broomfield, A park in Erie, new one in Firestone and newest is in Berthoud Bike Park. Highest concentration of pump tracks in the country and sooooo...

    Got some more time on the Redline yesterday in Superior where this bike really shines! I am really impressed so far. When I first picked up the bike to build for pump track use with a few parts swapped out I also came up with a full upgrade if it rode well enough to warrant the...

    ORBO GT - The Pigeon Roost

    The Quadra 10 & 21 were pretty simple tech that was fairly bombproof when properly set up. Very popular, easy to maintain & adjust that worked well from what I remember. Can't recall exactly with the Judy. If it's an air sprung fork, seals are typically the problem as with any air spring. They...

    What have you been riding lately?

    Thanks Lars! Still getting used to the bike, it's quicker handling, light weight, & how my body position affects handling in certain situations. Accelerates quick & was barely staying on the track coming off the berms. Probably entered a little high & couldn't overcome the inertia of the weight...

    What have you been riding lately?

    I had a chance to take an extended lunch break on the new Redline out in Firestone yesterday to get more familiar with it. Was having a great day in mid 60's sunshine so decided to really push it for a couple laps before a cool down. Had good speed coming out of a rh 90° berm & stomped the fast...

    Warm before the storm weather coming this week so took my new friend for a good flogging to get better acquainted yesterday. :nerd: I found the "pocket" early in our session & this thing RIPS!!😯😯 So much that I tried sitting back to absorb a set of doubles entering high speed 180° berms to...

    I normally ride my 1919 Mead Ranger for January OBC Bluz Cruz since I was born on the 19th but I forgot it had a flat tire. So I rode my one year only '39 Firestone Flying Ace instead. It's been a while.......... :inlove:

    Now that we're working out of the deep freeze I had a chance to meet a friend to give my newly built Redline Flight Monocog a run at the track. But my phone died as I tried taking a snapshot so here it is in anticipation after I did the brake again & pulled the handlebar back a bit. Very solid...

    What have you been riding lately?

    I got in a half hour of testing after getting my Redline Flight Monocog built up yesterday. Cold weather for the next week or so and was happy to get in a few laps. Got some fine tuning to do & figure out how to make it go fast!🤓

    Next build off………

    You're funny!!! :rofl: Sadly the matching rear went missing. They were attached to White Industries hubs/Mavic 517 rims/DT Revolution DB spokes on my race hardtail. Took the rear wheel to LBS in Denver for new sealed bearings & never seen again. Still have the front wheel & wanted to use the...

    Next build off………

    Not for this one. Just something I picked/mocked up this summer for another option for pump track. Thinking about SWBO project & if my other MTB for pump track qualifies for the ORBO. Been putting that one off for a while to ride instead. Or come up with something else. This is also a warm up to...

    Getting warmed up trying to finish deep clean/polish/protect a pile of stuff to ready for assembly..... Gonna try to finish prep today but it might get too nice outside this afternoon. May have to go for a ride....🤷‍♂️

    What have you been riding lately?

    I had planned to spend the day in the garage deep cleaning, polish & protect everything for a new build but since the weather was supposed to be the best of the weekend I decided to get the last laps of the year on my Commencal Absolut at the place where my journey to pump track fun began...
