    Meh, most of stuff a lot us in the club can do... and others you can peer pressure Krud to do even though he'll insist he can't. Do a few trips with these guys and see what FORC riders are really capable of. It's always the same... "we're taking it easy today, right?" and someone else responds "oh yeah, nothing crazy today"... and then when we're shredding down a hill thinking to ourselves "well, this isn't safe... so much for taking it easy" all while having a huge smile on your face you'll know just how good everyone has become from riding with others in this club. I swear, I got my descending skills in the Midwest (along with everyone else), not Colorado.

    yep. just a little peer pressure and i could ride a 50 ft log 20 feet in the air. I just don't like to show off.
    I may have to grow old, but I'll never have to grow up.

    ah yes...the amazing Krigg pre-busted leg.

    I across a vid a few weeks ago of him re-habbing the leg and his skills by getting back on a trials motorcycle. You can see the guy's mind is way ahead of his body...takes time to come back.

    I remember seeing that Nicolai video BEFORE that horrible music (if you can call it that) was dubbed in. It was a much, much better watch then. Those dudes can RIDE!

    The sound is always off on my comp so I missed out on the crappy music.

    Anyone else think they look like jockeys in the still image?

    ....

    Wxcellent video- at times I thought- that looks like syllamo, that looks like landahl...

    However Gunch has apoint- I've seen Squirrel, Ken and a couple other doods ride front wheels around a corners, I've seen Augie, Kings and Neips ride up steps and I've seen k-rud and others ride stuff too dang high- and there a bunch of doods who ride crazy stuff any time we can find it!

    Dood in the 2nd video- yeah... mad skills!

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

    Ditto- Videos like this always make me want to imrove on a specific skill. this one makes me want to learn how to hop my tires around better.
