January PoTM (Photo of The Month)

[The Ken]

A moment featuring me 20 years ago :shock: on my first mountain bike during the week I got it.

- ramps were big back then I must have been landing a 6 footer going by the look on my face.... anyway much higher than the 2 brick high ramp I remember building.

Shot on my Pentax MX on Ilford 400 and badly hand dodged & burned to bring up the wheels - (photoshop was a few years off at that point.)

Thanks dude. Lets see:

Big Rock Shox sticker? Check.
Stacks of useless forks waiting to be torn apart for seals and bushings? Check.
Cute 'shop' dog with cool name? Check?
Oily rags nearby compressed highly flammable liquids? Check.

The bike shop life.

All retro except the v-brakes. Will have to re-install the original XTR m-900 cantilevers one of these days.

Fort Collins. Did 7 years in Summit County, but the riding season was too short. (Did get 223 ski days in one season, though!)

Nice, I remember racing on the oval against CSU and ripping singletrack in Beaver Meadows.

Hitting up Purgatory tomorrow. Stoked.
