You absolutely should !!!

For rides like that you carry everything you can without making you bike completely unrideable.

As far as mods and what things to bring, it really depends on the bike. The only way to know is to ride the bike enough that you learn what breaks and wears out. The guys in the video have enough experience to know what they need. Nobody can give you a shopping list, because it's different for every bike/rider.

Also, only bring parts/tools you know how to use. A spare part that you can't change in the trail is just dead weight.

The most important thing to do is have your bike in top condition and try not to abuse it too badly.

Also if you have common tools that you know others need or might use it's good to coordinate so only one person has to carry that item.

They didn't really go into significant enough detail. I mean, would it have taken any extra time to detail your injuries, the distance between you, or the fact that he was vested up and armed with a rifle and you hit him several times with your handgun?

I also enjoyed the "neighbor dispute" scene.

Good luck.

Yeah he's in prison. Last i heard he was having bad medical problems. The 25 year sentence may end up being a life sentence.

Honestly I was a little disappointed myself but they did warn me it would be about a 45sec spot. I also think they should've used the crime scene photo I sent them of the marijuana instead of the stock footage. I guess that's why I'm a cop and not a producer on a national tv program.

I guess that's why I don't watch it anymore.

so, as it turns out, the "video" I took at Luke's on the day of the rail bed ride was actually a bunch of pictures...I had the camera in the wrong mode and what I got was 622 pictures spaced 2 seconds apart. 99% of it was at Lukes house, because the battery was weak. Got a couple pics leaving the gas station in Plain City and exactly ! pic of the rail bed, when we stopped to assess the water situation. I really was back-assward that day...got video from my still camera and still pics from my video camera at least I was able to keep the bike going in the right direction the whole day.

so anyway, I trimmed out a little more than half the pics and added some lame royalty free music off the web and slapped it all together to create this cheesy video. remember, you were warned that its lame:

Making pancakes out of lemon aid. Sounds like all our video had some issues.

Really quite tonight.

a few of us met up at Southington Off-road Park yesterday.

Cool place considering the neighborhood. Sort of a small bike or big balls kind of place. Lots of sand and tightish single track.

Any picyures/vids from anyone present?? Gorman ?

Just this one of our future racers.

Riding with the kids yesterday made me realize we gotta get a Go Pro helmet cam.
