Soooo, I know its been ages since I last blogggggged, but it seems I like to have an event to write about. Since winter has set in, I've been sitting at my desk at work daydreaming about going riding and ACTUALLY doing a jump, drop or something that was out of my comfort zone. Our friends Collins and Kayla Mason were over here on the wet-side this weekend and we were able to not only ride, but have a couple fun dinners and catch up a little bit... i won't go into the topic of our dinner discussion at Ivar's on Saturday night, besides to say it mainly consisted of discussing what happens to our bodies when we get sick.... and how bodies decide to react by unleashing every ounce of liquid inside....it was quite entertaining.
We just got back from a few hours at the Sea-Tac flow park, and it was some of the most fun I've had on my bike in a long time. I was FINALLY able to do some drops and jumps that I've been wanting to try for a long time. It's a lot of fun to ride with people that can help you push yourself to overcome your boundaries. In biking, I have a mental block when I come to the edge of a drop. I have a hard time getting the guts to just DO IT. But today, Collins helped me get the guts to hit some new things and it was a blast. Anna and Kayla were nice enough to tough the cold weather and numb toes to take a little video. the movie clip is a little bit of what we did. Sorry the pics are so crappy, i took snapshots from the video....
Sorry to not write more, but i felt like it was worth a good blog post. I've had a big grin on my face all evening just thinking about how much fun i had this weekend.
