A heritage of awesomeness...

I wanted to dedicate a post to some good times that Jay and I have had, specifically in the biking realm. Since I am always the one behind the lens there are not a lot of pictures of me, and the ones that I am in I look TERRIBLE, I am not kidding I was still working at Pioneer and was at my heaviest... moving along.

I'll start with a picture where I look like a cupcake (in a bad way) and Jay looks like a mountain man with strangely white teeth. Let me also note that I am wearing some very extensive body armor underneath my jersey do to the fact that we had been down-hilling all day, if you don't know what that is I would love to educate you.

Here we are with our full face helmets. For those of you who had my last e-mail address, (blackeslash26) the name stemmed from this bike here, a black eastern slash size 26... a little trivia for you.

Yeah not my cutest moment here, my face looks as round as a bowling ball but I will drop it. This is us at Keystone about 2 years ago.

Here is my friend Janet and myself flexing our guns, note my sweet pink body armor, I can't tell you how much that stuff saved my you know what!

I like this picture because it is a rare picture of me actually on my bike. This was my Kona Coiler which was a pretty sweet ride but just a little large for me. I had just finished chasing this guy down the mountain because he almost hit me and my friend Janet and I was going to make him pay. I think I may have set a land speed record that time. 

Ode to the best bike ever... This is a Transition Syren which is a women's specific freeride bike. I LOVE THIS BIKE. I sold it for a few reasons which I won't get into now but I would give my left arm (not my right) for this bike again. I have made Jay promise me that I could get it again one day. Look at how BEAUTIFUL she is... tear... okay I have to talk about something else or I will be sad about this for a while...

Now let's check out Jay's sweet skills!

This will look familiar since I used that as Jay's profile pic on the blog. This was taken at some local jumps by Keystone. The area is called Wildernest. This was a pretty sweet jump and Jay was able to throw down some pretty clean moves.

Another view, he was getting some pretty good air. 

This is another jump at that same place, as you can see there are jumps everywhere. He got pretty high off of that one, and yes that is another table top. 

And what have I been doing this entire time some might ask... well I have been sneaking around taking pictures, I think it was put best by Lady Gaga in her song Paparazzi...

Here is a little jump at a trail that we are usually playing around on called Palmer Park which is located in Colorado Springs. He hits this one every time we ride the trail so I had to get a picture of it. 

This picture is from a 4 cross race that Jay competed in at Angelfire NM. We thought this would be a much more fun experience than it was but oh well. Jay is the second from the right, the one who is wearing jeans and staring down the camera.

This is a cool picture that I took at the Castle Rock skate park one fine evening. 

This is Jay at Redstone skate park in Highlands Ranch. He is doing a mighty fine table over the spine. 

Same spine, different angle, different day... still cool. 

I also want to post two videos, one is Jay doing a 360 over a gap at the Sunset trails, and another is a compilation of all the biking footage I had that I put together for a project for my digital art class. I will warn you that my movie editing software would not allow me to change the length of the song so the song goes way longer than the video so it is okay to stop it when the video is over.

That is all for now. I really miss biking especially when it is snowing outside, and I cannot wait for the weather to get warmer!
