Some of my best memories as a little kid, teenager, and young stupid adult were at the BMX track. I really have a hankering to go back

 

[MattiThundrrr]

You should, it's a hoot. Great leg workout too, completely different burn than trail riding or road grinding. I'd love to try a paved pump track too

To the big map and back with @ingola and his new Typhoon.

Hope I didn't lead you and that beautiful old bike down the wrong path, buddy. I don't always remember that not every bike is Duck Norris. Thanks for the beverages, the radlers hit the spot

The old bike would go right back down the same path.no problem

The Norco 18" is too big, but he won't stop.

Lap after lap in the scorching hot sun, but we could barely get him to take a break for water. After an hour and a half of clinics with the coaching crew, he asked if we were coming back tomorrow. When we got home, he asked if he could go out for a ride before he showered. He's found his "thing".

If you stood in the doorway last night, you would have been witness to Lil Thundrrr learning to attack

Jr Thundrrr was working on fancier stuff, he's pedaling no hands now

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Halfway there

Halfway there

Girlfriend in highschool lived right on that line in long sault

 

[MattiThundrrr]

I had my tires in the river
My feet back up on the banks
I looked up to the lord above
and said, "Hey, ma'am thanks.
Sometimes I feel so good I've got to scream."
She said, "Matti, baby, I know exactly what you mean."
My memory is muddy, what's this river that I'm in?
The modern world is sinking, man, and I don't wanna swim.

Paraphrased from the Tragically Hip's
New Orleans is Sinking

 

[Couch tater]

Dadnabbit, now I need to blow the dust out of my speakers with some Hip

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Seriously folks. Right in the city.

It's a ski hill too.

Or at least it tries to pretend it is

Dropping in

Looks like a perfect place to add in a bike park.

I was surprised to find a secret outdoor hockey rink back there... Didn't take a picture, they look so sad in the summer

Has to be secret in the city shuts them all down kind of reminds me when when we would through punk shows in back alleys in Toronto. We've done this in Cornwall once your brother played.

"Why would one need to die in order to attain heaven?"

I know where that is great spot

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Here's another nice spot

Beware of the occasional dragon:
