    Default COME CANYON-RIDING WITH ME!!! (video!)

    OooOOhHH i'm stoked!!! i went up to the canyons twice this week and was lucky enough to be in front of a guy w/ a video mount!!!

    so, hopefully now you can see a lil' but into what I do when I'm not dancing... (well, umm, besides school.. LOL) the clip is 6 min. long... we start out from a spot called "the tree" ('cause it's a tree in the middle of nowhere) and I'm on the bike out in front w/ the lil' green backpack... (hard to miss), and after 2 min 30 secs. you get a much clearer view. My friend who shot this is way faster than either myself or the other guy.... he should have actually been in front, but eh, who knew.... at any rate, thought this might be fun to share! I was also pretty impressed with myself as I've only had this particular bike for 2 weeks since my last one got totalled when I went down on someone's coolant slick leftover from a dui hit n' run.

    I'm not pushing it too hard as I'm still getting used to the new bike, but we were going at a pretty fair pace through most of it.... and you can see how gorgeous it is!!!! (although that day was SOOOOOO cold! i could barely feel my hands!) So... welcome to Angeles Forest/Angeles Crest Highway!

    Damn, CC!

    I would NEVER neglect you or your previous incarnation. I think many of us are just absorbed with holidays and the thoughts that accompany them.

    I used to hike & party off ACH back in day, and my late little brother (a lovable asshole if there ever was one) used to scream through those curves with his fellow biker boyz....

    Haven't been there in years but it still looks boo'ful!

    P.S. I actually saved your ride in my Yahoo folder when you initially posted it

    This reminds me of one of the many things I miss about living in California. Except... I'd go do that in my sports car, windows down, music blaring... talk about a way to clear your head.

    The video was awesome. Thanks for bringing back some great memories.

    A glaringly bright day. Cold air. Accelerations. Leaning into sharp bends. Open road. So these are things you love ehh. Thanks for sharing.

    The Carol Burnette avatar made me laugh every time!

    Very nice clip indeed, thanks! Although from the description I was expecting to see a mountain bike ride (the pedal kind). Perhaps we need a thread for everyone to post clips and photos of their various death-defying hobbies (other than strip-clubbing...)! I have some pretty cool home video of rock climbing, huge free rappells, caving, and mountain biking, but they're in non-digital formats. If others have stuff like this to share, I for one would love to see it!

    Nice looking place to ride. I have a Ducati, and with work and stuff I rarely get a chance to do things like that anymore. A bit of jealousy here on my part

    Just watched it on my spanking huge TV/monitor, which for me is as close as I intend to be to actually riding.

    But very cool! I liked the gear-shift sounds. But now I'm wondering how you'd feel about a version with a soundtrack? Maybe start with the gear shift track and ease into some kick-ass rock & roll? Just a thought.

    (i was being a schmear last night! yikes! 2nd post deleted. apologies!) and thanks everyone for making me feel better. it's really nice to hear this kind of encouragement. budai, you should check out asuza canyon right now- it's really eerie with all these skeleton trees that were burned down... kinda breathtaking in a way!

    ugh... went back up again today.... great ride, but saw some skid-marks on the road (car) and watched a fire truck go down into the cliff... heard it was a fatality. a little sobering. i guess kids think its fun to party up there and go race around in souped up rides...
