Quick True Story by Adam

// December 18th, 2009 // No Comments » //

I received a quick little story from my buddy Adam the other day and thought I’d share it. He didn’t have a picture to go with the story so I put one below of another time where we went kayaking down the Chattahoochee, his dogs Buster and Boo-Boo swam the entire way, except when Adam let them sit in the kayak for 5 minutes. Two of the toughest dogs I’ve known.

Here’s his email:

True story: one time I was mtn biking in Indiana and I was railing through some sticks and one caught on my rear derailer and totally ripped it off. I had no gearing whatsoever. Luckily I had my dogs with me and the trail I was on connected to a concrete trail that connected back to the parking lot I was parked in. I took a vine off a tree and wove it into my dog Buster’s collar and he pulled me several miles back to my truck. No shit. Love that dog.

Got the chance to explore an unusual island in the salt lake. Here’s a recap of the outing…

Kayaking Causey Reservoir

// June 17th, 2008 // 2 Comments » //

Last Sunday I decided to checkout the Causey Reservoir located on the other side of the Wasatch Mountain range. It’s amazing how easy it is to get into beautiful country out here in Utah. I only had a couple hours before the sunset and here’s what I saw…

More Fun Around Every Corner

// April 24th, 2008 // No Comments » //

I went for a little mountain bike ride today but didn’t make it very far. I went back to check out this area I saw while hiking the other day, it looked like it had some jumps and I had to get a closer look. This is where I ran into Tucker and Andrew hitting some sick jumps. It brought me back to the days of racing BMX and building jumps of my own. Those days are long gone, and seeing that it’s been a couple of years (like 20) I decided to let them hit the big stuff and not embarrass myself. Maybe by the end of the summer I’ll work up the nerve to hit the big one. Here’s a couple more picts. The videos are alot better than the pictures I took. I’ll edit those when I get a chance. I think it had to do with the fact I’ve abused the Canon one to many times.

Man it was awesome watching them catch air and trick out. Good luck with the sponsorship guys.

Let’s Go Already!

// April 23rd, 2008 // No Comments » //

After watching this page for over 100 days, we’re ready to go! Well almost. It seems everyone is getting last minute items ready. From Chip fixing a oil leak, to Mark reinforcing his roll cage errr I mean saddlebag frame, to Adam finding bodily waste bags. But between the 6 of us we should have everything covered, but time will tell. Here’s how the bikes are looking so far. Malcolm and I have a little more packing and gearing up to do, Adam and Luke haven’t given us a sneak peak at their setups yet. If I get any I’ll post em here.

Testing out the frame welds…lookin good!

And he says he’s not not done yet. I guess he can always go up

Luke’s KLR650

Chip’s Dead Sexy Husky 610TE

Adam’s KTM 640 LC4

Notice the pelican cases, very official looking. Official enough to write off as a business expense? Sure why not!

Bad ass.

Malcolm’s Suzuki DR650

Beer & water. What else do you need in the middle of the Canyonlands?

I’m ready, let’s go!

Here’s a look at the route we have planned through the Canyonlands in Southern Utah.
