Morgan 'Morgman' Taylor's long awaited Part II has arrived. Morgan continues to document his first year as a mountain biker through words and awesome visuals. If you have not read Part I, I recommend you do.

The pics are WICKED! Definitely get me stoked to ride.
Also made me want to go on a little adventure of my own to find all those trails I've seen but have yet to ride.
I must ask, will this be a trilogy (or never ending would be good too :P)?

Nice work, once again MoTay! You're writing makes me do the "lolz", and that's something that I can truly appreciate.

Morgman, gotta say that is an awesome read. You really have nailed what riding is all about. Like previous posters have said you've done in a year what it took me 10. I'm f@ckin' green with envy…btw mad props on your photo skills…keep it up…

I actually did a double take when I saw who the story was by. Nice job.

It is a small world after all ;)

No kidding! Brilliantly documented evolution - the photos and words ring so true. Pretty amazing to see such passion. These bikes and trails just get under your skin - living and breathing bikes and trails. This dialogue is fits perfectly in to the far to common discussions my friends and I have pretty much daily about bikes and our lifestyle.:martini:

Great article, Thanks for spending the time to write all that up!

BTW Morgman, you need to post in this thread so people can send you rep.

One small typo though, this line is posted twice in the last 2 paragraphs.

Ah Morgan, what can I say, it was your first year riding MTB's full time and you did it with us! I read your story and it gives me shivers thinking about all the hilarious, fun, scary, intimidating, crazy, fast, long, dirty, sweaty, flowy, twisty, bumpy, teary-eyed (high speed down the bottom of 7 Summits) gong-show rides we managed to get under our belts. Can't WAIT for your second year summary and all the amazing rides we're going to have to do to help make it happen.
