    What makes David Knight and Juha Salminen sooo good?

    They are Trials riders. How much of a difference does it make? Well last week a Calgary Trials rider named Paul Neumeister got a silver medal in an ISDE event in Chile, which is not bad considering he's never ridden the event:shock:. For those of you wanting to find out why it makes such a...

    So come on down Happy Valley Road to the VMC property and see what the "funny little bikes" with no seat are all about! Just be forwarned, they're addictive! http://www.vmc.bc.ca/

    The Darkside

    For those of you that missed the Family Ride on Sunday, what you missed was that I'd figured with all the kids, the riding may have been a bit mellow for us big kids on big bikes. So I also brought my Montessa trials bike out for those who were interested to try. Here are some of the results...

    My hardest day of riding on Salt Spring (or anywhere else)

    Well...... I'd never looped my bike before, but I have now! I'd never endoed before, but I have now! I'd never gone through 2 litres of water & a Rave and still needed more before, but I have now! I also don't think I've dropped my bike so many times before, nor had so many others down as...

    95db max at the Deadzone, So how loud are you?

    Just seeing if everyone saw that 96db or more means "No Ride" at the Deadzone? I'm not sure, but I think some of us may have some trouble here. As for me, I think I'll have difficulty with the working headlight. (Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't)

    What would you do to save $600 to $1400 off a new bike?

    I've been interested in a new bike for a while, and I finally e-mailed a dealer to find out about the one like with a bunch of options. After a week without any word back I figured my business wasn't wanted, and e-mailed another dealer about the same bike. It's now been a week without word...

    How do you know what level rider you are?

    I was just looking at the "Loose Screw Dual Sport" ride in Kamloops (awful tempting), and I can't help but wonder how we're to know what level we should ride? Was the "Dead Zone" last year a good benchmark? Am I : #1 - a "C" #2 - a "C" dumb enough to try "B" #3 - a "B" #4 - Just Dumb:shock:

    Anyone on a 2007 450EXC?

    Trying to get impressions about the new EXC. By all reports the new "Quiet" exhaust has taken a lot of the life out of it. Is it struggling to loft the front wheel? How would it's power compare to a DRZ400E?

    Islanders going to Deadzone etc....

    Just seeing who all is thinking of heading over to some of the DSBC events? With the limited time off I get, I'm thinking that the Deadzone might be best for me. Unfortunately, I really don't know a whole lot about any of them, so I was going to judge it upon who all else was going to what.

    Team Hare Scramble!

    I was in Duncan at the shop and noticed that they've posted up a Team Hare Scramble. I think it's in April, starting out from where they do the Sand Drags. I know I'm not quick enough, but I know many of you that are:hf:. So how about a few of you show them what DSers can do?

    Trail clearing Friday Feb 2 - maybe?!

    I've been wanting to get out and do my part for a while, but this weekend isn't looking very good. As such, I may be able to get out tomorrow providing something doesn't come up at work. Anyone interested? How about routes to check out?

    Quebec Driver's Handbook

    A friend just sent this to me. We're both originally from Quebec so we had a good laugh. Thought I'd share. ~ * Quebec's Driver's New 2007 Handbook* ~ >> >> 1. Turn signals will give away your next move. A confident >>Quebec driver avoids using them. >> >> >> 2. Under no circumstance...

    Area Work Parties for storm cleanup

    For some of us, this winter has been quite hard on our riding experience. If you've been out, you've probably noticed that there are lots trees down across the trails. What I'm proposing is that we try to get several work parties organized to help cleanup the main routes. Instead of waiting...

    Almost shown up by my son

    On Sunday, during our family ride, I found myself in a most unusual (but soon to be common) position - almost being out done by my son:hr:. In a play area we go to I discovered a log crossing that we'd previously not noticed (it was at the side of the trail in the shade). From the one side...
