that's it. i went to my favourite place today and it was actually fun again. :)
if anyone wants to ride (preferably ssc or loops) i'll try to find time away from my busy schedule of doing nothing.

ride a horse! 1200 pounds of raw muscle, power, grace, and sweat between your legs…
but riding bikes is still fun!

not sure if that was a serious question or not but a combination of too many doctors lecturing me, family that was constantly lecturing me, groms were definitely a factor, just getting bored and at the same time not wanting to push myself. oh… and remembering how fun horses are. especially mine. :D it actually happens to a lot of people believe it or not. :P
but after nearly a year off and a super fun rip i'm pretty stoked again. wooptydoo. :)

according to the urban dictionary…

4. grom
A grom or grommet isnt necessarly a biginner surfer but a YOUNG surfer… usually under the age of 15. Most of the time people that are called groms are youngins who RIP (are good)

substitute "surfer" with "biker" and that's pretty much how it's used here

I kind of know how ya feel bunny but for me it was dirtbiking. Ive done it since I was 10. It felt like i had taken it as far as I could go or at least as far as I wanted to go. Mountian biking for me has been a breath of fresh air. I am not that great at it but I am getting better with every ride and to me thats part of what makes it fun. Ad the fact that I have met so many new people it makes it all good times. Another aspect of it that I have jumped in with both feet is the building part of it. Its like creating art that has to be functional. Creating something that has to be somewhat safe but still challenging,diferent than the stunt before it, and nowing what is realistically doable while still scaring the shit out of ya.
