Oh. I don't mind falling (except maybe off of obstacles, so I don't do many of those right now), but yeah, I walk with a limp the past two years... definitely carries over to mountain biking a LOT more than road biking. Falling on dirt or sand or grass at 5-8mph I'll take ANY DAY over falling on pavement. I have a scar from just tipping over on the road 5 months ago, at 0.5mph, that's worse than the Great NJ Thornbush Massacre of 2012. **BRENT**

I know how to mtn bike. I know how to look ahead, I know what to do, how to clear/avoid obstacles... I just can't DO it anymore. There would have been some stuff I chose not to ride anyways, but some of it was just "I can't physically balance that well on a bike anymore." Road riding is fine, but even easy trails like that beat me up in a way that is more than just physical conditioning. The switchbacks aren't something I like in general, but between balance and having to naturally switch to a left-foot dominant riding position since I just can't put power down with my right anymore... it was just too much. I love mountain biking. I don't like swampy/sand biking, but that's a different story. I think I'll concentrate on the road stuff for a while and then revisit MTB at a later date. It's my first love with cycling, and, well, I have issues letting that kind of thing go (In the airport yesterday, I saw some Porta Pros, and as those were my first "real" headphones, I considered picking up a pair for a second, until I remembered MSRP). So yes, like Vicki said, more bike riding, not less... just will be the black bike instead of the red bike. That is, unless Zach comes down... then he'll make me get the red one out. I'm going to have to watch those videos when I get home tonight. **BRENT**

Yeah... I think I'm done mtn biking for a while. Don't have the cardio base or especially the balance to do it right now. Jeff, time to just work your magic. (Still haven't watched them, been hanging with the kids instead.) **BRENT**

Seat was low. Changed it shortly after battery died on cam.

Anyone wanna buy a Huffy? **BRENT**

I don't have time to watch it, but I hate you in advance.

Deja vu! **BRENT**

Jeff will enjoy the results of my ride much more than I enjoyed my showing, but it was great hanging out with friends today. **BRENT**

Vicki, a FL ride without you is gonna be sad, but you can come video me falling down for some good Biscuit Boy Goes South footage. Jeff thinks I will fall down enough that you can keep up with me by just walking, so if you change your mind... I hope to report on "mountain biking" in FL vs TN. I think they picked a "lazy Mexican" approved trail for me, so hoping I'll fare better than the NJ ride or the California ride where a 70 year old lady walked up the mountain faster than I could ride/push up it. Looking forward to it... Even if #s has me on a sleep schedule that pains my soul (it's before 7am and I've been up an hour.) **BRENT**

I hate you both. **BRENT**

At Carl and Bonnie's. The cupcake fairy came!!! **BRENT**

Needs i7 and 32 gigs of ram, but you can always upgrade when it struggles with your MP3z. Nice starter rig, Todd. I wonder if Colin will find this thread... **BRENT**

What are you wanting to do with the bike? **BRENT**

I dig my Suunto. I checked the altimeter on the plane. It was wrong (I need to calibrate it), but it amused me nonetheless. **BRENT**

This makes me so happy! **BRENT**

I just finished S5A. Can't wait to watch the rest. I need cable. **BRENT**

Jeff, those wheels just TOTALLY transformed that bike. That is stupidly hot. **BRENT**

Rape suspect gives up vampire fiction for reduced bond in Knoxville area Maybe he'd shape up if he came to "witness" the $700,000 crosses that went up 2 exits from me this week. http://www.wrcbtv.com/story/23087658/colossal-crosses-now-tower-over-i-75-after-years-of-planning **BRENT**

WIN!!! **BRENT**

So sorry for your loss, Mike. **BRENT**

Deepak = dead to me **BRENT**

Inside a bag of rice in the freezer? **BRENT**

Only in the 90s, my friend. Only in the 90s **BRENT**

Happy B-Day, Tom! When we going to get you a digital rig? **BRENT**
