Singletrack Photos Of Me?

[Chump]

So its been 3 months, I can finally cruise some single track. I have never had more of a smile on my face riding my bike. It has deffiantly refreshed me, and made me notice what this sport is all about again.

I can't really do any jumping for another 2 months but its just nice to be out on the bike cruising. Deffiantly messed it, was starting to go insane.

[Zion]

Good to hear your back to ripping it again.

[BrianPark]

Is it your shoulder Steve? I recently wrecked my shoulder, and I'm super scared I'll miss this whole season.

Why do you even wear a helmet if you dont do up the straps?

Ya it was my shoulder I had pretty extensive surgery on it.

[BrianPark]

Shitty. I just augered mine, and although nothing's broken, I have almost no range of movement with it after 2 weeks. Shoulder injuries suck.

Range of motion is the hardest thing to get back with a shoulder since it moves in so many directions.

Tip for you, sleep on your back as well, it will heal faster.

Steve

[BrianPark]

Yeah? That's actually a problem for me, I usually sleep with my shoulders out of their sockets haha, on my face kinda. In the morning I can't move it at all, but after a shower and a bunch of streching it loosens up a little. It's pretty hard being a bike mechanic with only one working shoulder.

Thanks for the tip though, I'll try it tonight.

[RITALIN]

Yeah second that. anyone please.... I need to cure my speed addiction

[Mountain Dewd]

Awesome man.

When i broke my humorous 2 years ago i went crazy not riding, i remember the first time i was able to cruise around. I just went sprinting around town on a xc bike, total freedom, one of the best time i have had riding. Then i hit a curb not thinking and my arm had no strength and colasped and i crashed, i couldnt even hold my self up. lol.

[Children]

the picture of your bike is a RED X, so now im sad i cant see it, good to see your back on the bike again!

[Chump]

The Faith, I couldn't be more happy with the bike, its amazing, I can't wait to rat bag it.

Steve

[hobo man]

awesomje to see you're back out on the rigger T steve

[matt shaw]

Why do you even wear a helmet if you dont do up the straps?

:werd:

way to be a role model


hehe

[Jay T.]

good to see you riding, hows the new bike feeling? i was just out for a month and was going crazy, i dont want to know how you felt without riding for three months

[VanIslandWarrior]

that is such a sick bike dude.... how does it ride?

[Mr Ripper]

Why do you even wear a helmet if you dont do up the straps?

agreed, not to mention he is coming back from a serious injury

[Wayne P]

I have a feeling that Giant would not like seeing a shot of a Giant-sponsored rider without the helmet straps done up.

[Chump]

Ok I am not even givin er, it may look like it cause the dust but ya. Ya ya I know it takes once but I was not even peddling just cruising down.

My skid lid is pointless anyways, my hard shell doesn't even stay in the plastic, nore does it offer that much protection to the forhead and face just like any half lid.

Giant, straps? Didn't see that when I signed? God why does everything turn into a huge topic on here. People care way to much.

but it protects your actual skull which contains your brain, which if knocked hard enough will turn you into a vegetable. If the helmet dosn't stay in the plastic, buy a new one, it's better than risking your ability to ride

[Jaysin]

Nice pics steve, Singletrack is absolutely unreal

:agree: :lol:

[bikesrfun]

SHUT UP! WHo cares he didnt' do up his Helmet straps, one person mentioned it already you don't have to restate the comment 100 more times. Don't pretend you have never not worn a helmet, or didn't buckle it.

[Loopie]

Nice pics Steve:cool:

I'll throw down a comment just for the hell of it.
I'm 100% pro-helmet, fullface only, strap done up etc...
But one exception I have is while riding singletrack just as Steve has pictured. I do not and will not use a helmet while riding some of the supremely BUFF singletrack we have here....unless my Daughter can see me, then I don the lid. Example setting requires a no exception rule.

MOST of the stuff related to what we do and the content of this forum in general fits under the umbrela of "wear the lid...there is some chance you'll need it"........but if you are genuinly in asituation where the chance of you needing that lid is basically nil.....pfft.
That'll be the day you ever see me wearing a lid while I pedal for 3hrs on a double track dirt road...or on our buff single tracl like Steve pictured. (unless my Daughters lookin' ...:lol: )

[g1mpy]

that would be a sweet hook up indeed! (giant)
the first pic is awsome

[wheeler]

nice giant faith steve
im glad u poste dpics of u riding before u post ur steed

HE did on pinkbike. He must like them better.
The pic no worky now though.

The helmet strap issue is not dead. As a sponsored rider, your job is not only to ride your bike well, but its more about professionalism and conveying a positive message to the public. No matter if you're riding "buff" single track or riding to the store to get the latest issue of "Big'uns" magazine. Even if it is a small sacrifice for you, you don't want to influence youngs kids to not wear theirs either.

Face it, people look up to you because you are a good rider, and as a good sponsored rider, you have to set an example. It might work in BMX, it doesn't fly in MTB.

[KHansen]

oh Chumper look at what you have done....sounds like this forum is filled with the dorks that show up at the local skate park in a full face and upper dainese ahahaha.

[Danny K]

give the helmet thing a rest. jesus.

[DaveM]

Pics look good, Collective-ish.

As far as the helmet thing.....

Too much http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v57/inkpay55/smilies/beatadeadhorse.gif

[Aldo Nova]

i wish i could ride nice open lines like that, all the single track here is in the woods where you are scraping by trees

[Chump]

Ha Davet that is the best thing I have seen on these forums for awhile. Singletrack throught the trees is amaizng, there is nothing like picking a line a zinging past trees i love it.

There are many young riders browsing these forums. Doing up your strap in photos posted for these viewers is setting an example.

Six years ago, I went on a guided bike ride down Whistler mountain for novice riders. It was mostly riding down dirt and gravel roads, and it seemed pretty harmless; however, about half way down the mountain on a gravel service road, I was sent flying over my handlebars. I landed on my head and then my shoulder, and slid about a metre. The damage: brutal road rash on all four limbs, and a fractured collarbone. There was a noticeable dent in my helmet from that crash. There was no obstacle that I hit, and I didn't suddenly pull on the front brake. It was just a freak accident. I'm glad I wasn't too "cool" for a helmet on that day.

No way did I imply I was too "cool" for a helmet. K to make everyone happy, I will just do it up all the time now, I will even wear my helmet to the local bike shop on the way down the street, I hope you do too, cause everyone always wears there helmet.....

I wear a helmet on my stationary bike cause you never no when the chain could go and you could fall or when there is a stress riser on the bar and it snaps and flys into a support girder with a minor fracture and the whole ceiling falls on your head.
