Sweet... I used to ride some Trials when I was in High School. I had one of those TL 125 Hondas

nice bike . worth a tidy sum these days too !!! ;)

you know how if you think about your riding your old trialsbike , and say doing a small jump at the top of a hill . land , then carry on riding .......

..... its all smooth and dream-like isnt it ??
 but in real life the honda would be a big heavy boneshaking rodeo ride !!!

next time you see a newish sherco , just ask if you can have a go . the new bikes are like riding that day-dream ;)

Hell NO. My wheels are made for concrete.

That's what I do 5-7 days a week when I'm not surfing. Keeps me young and in shape. That pic is at the Glendale skatepark in the 11' oververt section with pool coping. GOOD TIMES!

Y'all have fun playin' in the dirt and heat.


 ;D

Mark, how come there's a big X on your head? That's not where your planning to fall is it? By the way, REAL cool photo!

On that helmet, I took some orange electrical tape and with three pieces, I tried to emulate the pattern of Eddie Van Halen's first guitar from the late '70s. The tape's been removed since that pic was taken. It's all black, now. There were actually three Xs... which can't be seen at that angle. Thanks for the kind words.

Anyway, back to D.K.K. Ride Day... is there already a set date?

Same day as Clyde Berg's Drag-In. Bummer. I'll take pics and post 'em on The Lounge. Might actually show my car, too.
