    Default Once upon a time...

    Me and K-rud built the log ride, and the character of Sunder was forever changed... I think that was back in about... oh... ott-6. On a trail called Palos, this was. A little while after that, the city moved the boundary fence and we had to make a sharp corner right after that log ride. Nowadays, that log ride has gotton a bits on the rotten side. We can still ride it cause we just jump over the rotten parts, but its not really safe no more.

    So, me and k-rud, why, we's gonna shoot out there today around 10:ish, and sees what we can do to make it bigger, better, faster, stronger and sexier. Not necessarily in that order.

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.

    I was lucky enough to ride it yesterday morning and it was nice and smooth. Looked intimidating at first but it was crazy fun.
