Monster Truck.

So since the Camaro isn't lifted like every other one of robs vehicles, we found this sweet monster truck. Its pretty rad but jessica did just get new wheels for her Avalanche.......Which is tuffer. you will have to decide.

(Monster Truck picture was bought to our attention from are friend Michael Smith, Thanks Michael.)

Here is a video of the Redbull 5000 Down. Rob, Jessica and I where just up in the great white north just a weeks time before this event went down. Its wasn't muddy or snowing. Merican Radness will most likely have to partake in this amazing race next year, it looks like to much fun to never go to a mass start DH race. Rob would kill it.

Going Faggot.

So over the weekend Rob, Jake and myself went down to moscow for some downhill riding. During which time Rob and myself learned that jake was going faggot on us. The Quote from the weekend was "I shut down that berm just like the Gay Bar Last night!"


I dont know what else to say...

He's not off the team but going to have to place well at the next events and meeting with the head guys here at MR..


till then here is this.....

Happenings.

2010 has been a dominator for the mainstays of 'Merican Radness Rob, Woms, Jake, and Jessica have all been flying the flag from Whistler to Hood keepin' it real the whole time cheers dudes, but a let down for myself. Without getting into specifics its time for me to focus on 2011 things happen in life it turns out, ask Sam Hill (congrats on coming back from a nasty injury to straight destroy everyone on a classic course), a 24" is being setup for some BMX race action a fork may finally get ordered for a neglected beauty of a cycle and the skis are gettin' dusted off, a custom 'Merican Radness Blog topsheet may be in order. A new team roster is in order, free agent Sean "Fully Pinned" Murphy, if you don't know who this is you'll find out. Facespace Race will happen you'll get the details if you deserve them. Let's get one thing straight, my retirement is far into the sunset yet but some of the bro-van-bro-downs involved in this here sport get a guy down from time to time, there is certainly more to life than a cycle. Every now and again you need to take a step back and figure out what is really important. Next year will see the return of the fire and who knows there is still a race or two left and an unused license in my possession... Keep gettin loose out there fellas (and lady) and if you're on the Radness crew consider yourself lucky, it aint comin' easy to any one, everyone here has earned it if you "sit on trannies", or Tag wheels you aint rollin with Radness. Without gettin too touchy feely I'll leave you with a little nugget.
Peace,

Vai Di Sole = Mans course

Marc Beaumont won somehow, he hasn't won a race since that one in Vigo back in 06 or 07 but now he and the nation of Great Britain are winning at life 'Mericans need to step up the game, Gwin show everyone whatsup with Merica at the World Champs, mans course Stars And Bars and a win what more could a Merican ask for? Kick ass video courtesy of Dirt TV. That's all I got, oh yeah I'm a dumbass for selling my fork before I had another one in my paws; I've done a lot of that this year, you'd think I'd learn. Oh well 2011 Fox40RC2 with that fancy pants Kashima coat should be here by the end of the month.

Things that are awesome

Now you might be thinking to yourself either " how on earth do you come across such a terrible picture" or "I'm only 17 and bikes and boobies r awesome!!11!!1" thankfully, their are answers unfortunately the bike in question is probably Canadian and certainly designed for riding skinnies, Peter if you're reading this, this bike has your name on it. Lets break it down shall we? Yes, yes we shall. Shiver, 3" rise bars with stupid useless moto inspired brace to get your elbones way up there for the sweet skinnies your gonna be riding, sweet 2" thick platform pedals cause bikes don't reach 55lbs with ease they are most likely connected to old school BMX cranks with a titanium spindle bro and an original MRP chain guide. I wish the photo had more detail so I could go into what is certainly the heaviest most retarded wheel/tire combo ever devised behold the Sun Rims Double Track and Nokian Gazzalodian 3.0" tire ahh those were the days. To round out the skinny riding combo dude was sure to include the Azonic Love Seat so big its constantly in the way and looks like it was designed by a blind person. The saving grace for the photo is the chick which begs the question, who on earth had the money to pay this chick to pose next to said skinny bike. We all know the last person to make any money riding skinnies was Richie Schley and even he has seen the light recently (sorta). Whatever the case may be I'm glad that Spokane is 10 years behind the times on "the scene". Instead we have to rely on dudes like Peter and Alec, who although in it for the right reasons, don't have the best grip on what needs to happen... Case in point, when asked about building a new DH trail I got the endless barrage of this, this, this, and this have to be done before we can clean up trash and do an environmental impact survey. Awesome. I don't really know what brought this post about, I just happened across it in between looking at boobies or radness like this:

and it reminded me of an important conversation I had with team Captain and all around dude Woms the other day. Recently I made the mistake of selling my fork without having another one lined up, that being said I was checking out my options and somehow in my delusional and other wise mentally incapacitated state I thought it a good idea to go with upside down forks instead of the tried and proven World Cup winning Kashima coated beauty that is the 2011 Fox 40. He quickly reminded me of why he had magic in his fingers, although rad; not by choice. Upside down forks don't win races, next if I'm not careful I'm gonna be caught up on the racecourse listening to Nickelback without a care in the world. Thanks for talking some sense into me buddy, and if anyone was wondering: if you buy an upside down fork, you're off the team.

I SIT ON TRANNIES.

Take that as you will but any way that I see it, its awkward. Before a few days ago I didn't really have any problem with it. To each his own and all that but then something strange happened, in an obviously 'Merican showing of patriotism I laughed at the offer of riding the outdated and overpriced peaches from north of the border known as "Rocky Mountain". Obviously any bike designed with skinnies in mind can't win races (Cam Cole, Ben Reid and ROB not withstanding) there is a reason Luke Strobel decided to change bikes for a 4th time in as many seasons and it wasn't cause he liked switchin' it up. Any who none of this really has any relevance until the man in charge of said demo day offered up a challenge (he suddenly feels he is the Sam Hill of Spokaneits a little tough to read but you can do it.) he quip's via Facebook that he can beat any one any where any time so I present a challange, The 1st Annual FaceSpace Canadian Bike Race: Location T.B.D. here's the deal were gonna come up with some sort of prize trophy like a buzzard talon or norwahl tusk, for the winner to hold onto until the following year (bragging rights included) no classes, no age groups, fastest time wins. If your not a pusssy put your money where your mouth is and meet the 'Mericans at the Rocky Mountain demo day!

Auto WIN! Anyone that ever tried to do anything sweet on a Rocky Mountain ended up in "Out There" magazine rambling about the future of "ladders and skinnies" why don't you ramble about the future of print media while your at it. They're one in the same.
I'm out.

Yep

So some shit happened last week. Here is the re-cap
1. Race got canceled, I still cant win cat 2 ( the nice name for sport)
2. Tried to "skid" a trail under a chairlift on a ski run while chris watched us go OTB
3. Jake got served a beer and didnt touch it. I raised that boy right.
4. Raced myself to get a beer with wams.
5. Sorry about the helmet and laughter nick

Thanks for being Merican,
Rob

Pretty sure this is in Canada.

I read the new Out There newspaper thing today. They had a interview with Peter from the Fat Tire Trail Riders. In the interview he talks about his 4 year old clapped out enduro and how he loves to build skinny's. So i found this video.

This Video = How I feel about - The Fat Tire Trail Riders - Skinnys on Beacon and Skinnys everywhere else.
