Healthy Back Tips

I got a bunch of documentation to go with the staples down my back. I will not bore you with the first eight post surgery healthy back tips. I will give you number nine and a shot of my not so healthy back.

9. Sexual activity can usually be resumed while your back is healing as long as it does not cause pain. Please discuss this with your surgeon. You may need to wear your brace and try different positions to see which is most comfortable.

So try some healthy back sexual positions … tonight …

Crankworx Colorado Course

It rained all night last night, making for quite a muddy mountain this morning.  Qualifiers got postponed to tomorrow, so we took it easy today, rippin the luge track and watching X-Games.  We got some sun, and once things started drying out we grabbed our bikes to get a little practice in.  As soon as we got out the door of the hotel to cruise to the course, it started pouring!

I snapped a few shots of the course if you haven’t seen it.

I got my new 2010 Banshee Rampant all built up and dialed in as well, with new X-Fusion suspension and Geax tires!  Got to test it out in practice yesterday and it’s amazing!  Slope machine!

Val di Sole track walk

Brayton is back getting the inside scoop at Val di Sol, showing the secret hucks, treehouse veiwing platforms and local wildlife... what else do you need? Oh yeah... a Track walk before this weekends WC.



Good luck Adam, we will all be chearing you for you on trackside and on freecaster.

Acurate Alpine?

I feel that Horst's riding style almost merits yet another name for type of riding... it is epic and intense... where slow speed accurate and controlled riding meets big mountain... pretty crazy, please suggest what you would call it? Is this just true all mountain?

What ever you want to call it I find it inspiring and epic.

It's been a little while since our last blog post, so here's the latest and greatest about Team Geronimo:

The Journey to Colorado!

Justin Wyper, Brendan Howey, and I made the sad departure from Whistler the other day, to begin our journey to Colorado.  One of the CoC campers, Grant Minishred Schnell, generously showed us around on some awesome trails when we were passing through Washington, and further let us spend the night at his house!  Thanks again buddy!  We made the long haul to Colorado the next day, and 24 hours later (with some interesting experiences), we made it!

Once we got here, we hiked up the course to check it out.  Looks pretty sweet, except the Tower of Terror (double whale tale) looks a bit daunting.  I suppose we’ll see tomorrow in practice.

Right now, we’re killin some time hangin out at Starbucks waiting for $2 tacos to start at 3:00 at Lime.  They’ve got some interesting power outlet placements here!

Red Bull Dirt Pipe

About 3 months ago i received a phone call from the editor of [R]evolution magazine , Australia's leading gravity mag. The mission was 5 riders 3 photographers and 3 days at Redbull's famous Dirtpipe. When we all first rolled into the place and looked at the giant pipe the first thing i noticed is this thing is way bigger then any picture or video makes it look. Its a lot steeper then i thought it would be. The owner Mitch built the pipe as close as he could to a snowboard super pipe. So to see it in dirt was an amazing site and huge props Mitchell Smith and his crew that built it. The speed needed to get out of the pipe and make the jumps was also a surprise, you had to be going warp speed at some place especially the hips at the bottom which were the most fun. I spent most of my time just hitting the hips cause there is nothing better to float over then a huge boosty hip. Anyway the magazine is out so here are some shots of the trip. Get [R]evolution v20 for the full story.4 5 6
