666 Purgatory Chasm ride

[Bryan]

I have a day off work tomorrow and nothing to do with it but ride. Who wants to ride purgatory chasm on 6/6/6? :)

[trauma100]

all who ride will be cast into the bowels of hell for eternal suffering







I would.... been doin some book learnin... I get an hour or two a day to ride...SOooooooooooo

[KeepRollin]

If I were to come, I would want to get there pretty early and be back by after lunch. So I would want to get there at like 9:30? Ride 2 hours ish and head back?

[Bryan]

I can do 9:30.

[KeepRollin]

Then I'm in.

I haven't been there before, is there anything special I should know about parking/avoiding park rangers or anything? I found a site for it online so I figure the directions shouldn't be a problem.

9:30 actually works for me too. That'll give me time to come home and build obstacles. weeeeeeeee

Parking is easy, I think it's the lot on the left (Bryan will know better). No rangers that we saw.

Just watch out for rock snakes. They grab the front wheel of high bb bikes throwing the rider onto nose breaking rocks.

Uh oh camera man is coming! Seriously though, we need a video camera man. I used to make vids 2 times a year at least. I haven't made one now since last August :run: I need to do some technique watching!

[Bryan]

I can bring my old vid camera if nobody else has one? I can edit stuff too, well enough to watch technique.

Damn those rock snakes. Park in the first lot on the left.

[firewrx612]

I'll bring mine too. We can do a multi-angle dvd, like porn.

Im coming! Hopefully traffic won't be too bad. Be a little wary riding right in/around the parking area. When we rode there years ago, we'd get kicked out all the time.

[KeepRollin]

Yo guys, killer ride. Trevor, you gotta get out riding more. Get you to do more trialsing and you get me to do more kickers...ing? try and smooth my riding out a bit more too!

[tybikes]

I know, its tough to get out for rides though, especially when Rockport and Beantown are so far away for me now... Places like Purgatory and some spots in RI are easier for us western mass folks (I think just Ed and I) to get to.

Definitely gotta do some more riding though. Its good to have someone with a completely different style push me. I was having too much fun with the kickers! Its just one of those things I've learned over the years to use to make up for lacking skills elsewhere, but I think I need to spend more time working on the trials moves. Its just easier to take a 30' run in and moto up stuff.

Erik, we didn't get to chat much, but I noticed that you have improved since we last rode. Hows the demo setup coming? Completely forgot to bring the side cut-outs for the kicker I told you about...sorry.

I know, I thought about that after you left.

Demo is coming along nicely. I'm almost done with the big box, I have two smaller ones to build. I think I'm going to get some pallets and reels and paint them up to complete the obstacles. I think I may bring some 2x6/8
s as for some skinnies too.

Thanks for the kind words. I've been riding a lot lately and it seems to be paying off a little, finally.

I'll post a quick little vid from the day in a few minutes.
