(Best fabricator I know. I really learned quite a bit living with him. Some days, I wish I still did.)<br /><br />This is actually fairly tame compared to some of the courses I've seen. And the bikes have <b>tremendous</b> amounts of suspension travel. Up to 20 inches front and rear. So you can take a pretty good drop and come out of it ok. And, well, yeah. They do get banged up quite a bit. He had some exciting road rash (or, uh, mountain rash, I guess) at times.perlhaqrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01920117742664645165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-15280064570053163722011-08-21T08:49:12.281-05:002011-08-21T08:49:12.281-05:00Wow...

From downhill skiing and snowboarding, to mountain climbing, riding crotch rockets off-road, etc<br /><br />And I'm a scuba diving instructor, after that became my favorite, though it's not(when all goes well) an adrenaline rush, at it's best it's exploration, wonder and calm. It's probably the closest you can get to being a space traveler and meeting alien species. Exploring "inner space".Mikaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04894602732468692375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-66079659976573728752011-08-21T01:00:11.458-05:002011-08-21T01:00:11.458-05:00Life without thrills, that are caused by dangerous...Life without thrills, that are caused by dangerous situations, is life not worth living.
