Free Riding
I haven’t done any single track mountain biking in more than 10 years, and wasn’t very serious about it back when I did. So I’m really out of touch with the latest, but on Oregon Field Guide tonight was caught up with the free riding phenomenon: crazy jump stuff you would expect, but also this insane log traversing and over tiny laid track. Some examples in what follows - it’s really hard to find clips with tolerable music, not that I know who this is…
Wow, that makes me want to get RAD on the single track. Meanwhile the bike sits with flat tires in the back of my house…
I miss it too, and Portland being such a ‘bike town’ (front page of this weeks Mercury - “This is OUR town, you only drive in it”) has me thnking those thoughts of old again. Shit man, it’s been 15 years since we encountered ‘Uncle Jessie’ down there in the Oconee forest…
