All the moisture is good for the wood in your bass guitars...

I'm going to brave the snow and ice tomorrow, blast down some cross country routes and get PROPERLY muddy it's my skatepark riding that really takes the backseat this time of year, it doesn't rain all that much but it's never warm enough to dry out properly, so i've barely ridden for months

Skateparks? With a BMX or a skateboard? I have changed to longboards a long time ago but did some miniramp riding last summer. Since then I carry a board with me in the trunk of my car but barely ever get the time to skate.

I wish I could, but skating and most important falling is harder at 35 than it was at 16.

5 inches of old snow plus the two we are going to get today. Too cold to enjoy being out to play in it.

What is an inch?...... where is my converter. What is that in centimeters? Seriously, there has been no real snow here this year (not like last year), and we get early springs on the left coast of Canada.

Snow is fun and cool in its own way. I don't mind driving in it (4x4 or an AWD Ford Edge). It was super fun watching my 2 year old discover it and become a snow work plowing through it in his new boots.

But, it can be heck on a gig schedule. I already had one job (Dec 19) snowed out this year. I have 6 gigs in January between the two bands and am wondering if they are all going to come through.

So - a two edged sword as they say.

Oh thats cool. I stuck with hardtails and ride a felt six race at the moment. Really light and nice bike.

last summer, Riva del Garda:

my street ride



and my trail monster!



i tried skating once, i think i spent more time on the floor than on the deck...

Man, some of those trails are tough! But Riva is a great place for mountainbiking.
