Devil Mountain Expeditions

OMG …

Apparently the driver of the truck was unaware (!) that this was happening.

Oh man, it’s a pretty simple equation:

Narrow bars + Steep head angles + Rigid forks + Weak wheels + Dowhnill race = CRASHFEST

Fun stuff–doesn’t really make me yearn for the days of old but does remind me why it was so much easier to crash back in the day. I remember riding a super gnarly babyheads run one year in upstate New York on my bonded fully rigid Trek 7000. Good times–fortunately I didn’t break any bones.

Well, fsck me … another day I sit on my ass. Shoulder is killing me, weather is dreary. One of those weekends … shoulder was feeling better last week, dunno what I did to it in the interim … but it wasn’t the four holes of golf I managed to play last week since it didn’t start hurting again until yesterday.

Would like to get out and ride–body not cooperating … yeah, that’s the story of my life the last year or so. To top it off, I’m between jobs and have all the time in the world right now. Murphy is a slut.

Fsck it … Link dump time …

• Predator decimation
• Dimaggio’s streak
• Y2k making us complacent
• Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics
• Lack of exercise not the cause of teen obesity

No one was hurt here amazingly …

Epic Muni FAIL …

Hard to believe the guy survived this … I guess forklifts are made pretty tough. Lends new meaning to the phrase “under the influence”.

That had to hurt …

Not sure how I missed this the first time around but Buzz showed this clown a thing or two. 72 years old and he still packs a good punch. Seriously, this Sibrel character is a very strong candidate for DME’s first annual Douche Bag of the Year award. The fact that this happened in 2002 is irrelevant as Sibrel is worthy of the award any year.
