biking rules for sure. Just found this on pinkbike:

old skool. Imagine hitting all that stuff w/o armor or suspension? I can't either. Biking is better now.

Not really sure, but that ground looks hard. I am too clumsy and will stick to water. Sick shots though!!!

Lol. Kiteboarding will have been canceled for you because you'll be in a full body cast.

From the guy towing into monster waves in frigid pacific water a looong way from shore.

Thats the mtb. if it gets too extreme, you just step off the bike...or into the ambulance.

It is only a matter of time before you end up in the emergency room with extreme mt biking. That is when everything fun in your life is cancelled including kiteboarding!

But yeah, your right, I think I'll sell my bikes and get some awesome scrap booking and stamping stuff.

Down Hill Mt. Biking is fucking GAY! I mean really. Look at the pads you have to wear, it looks like your are a fatty that just shit his pants.

Good times for sure Brian! I love all the people talking about body casts and ER and shit. Thanks Captain Obvious' mom. Guess I should stop driving or leaving the house too just to be safe. Didn't think there'd be so many people afraid to enjoy life on here.

Jeff, if you wear your pads over your butt you're probably not doing it quite right, haha.

Great pics boys! Charging it!! Wish I was out there with you!!

To the nay sayers... yeah, I got into it just this year. It's like the addiction kiting was in those first years. And yeah... I got a bit confident and ended up in the ER... that was in early oct in Whistler and I still can't sleep through the night due to the pain in my ribs- almost 3 months later.

And yet, I get up everyday thinking about riding the bike and learning more! Bummed I'm not at the level yet to hang with the boys...

I got into mountain biking two years ago. Love the ride! Nothing better than being in the air. No ER visits for me, but I have run into two trees, and strained a muscle in my shoulder.

Great pictures guys!

The mommy discussion is hilarious! Just wear pads and stick it.
I've found it's mostly mental. And if you do end up in the ER, take the time to recover properly and you'll be back at it better than before!

Keep posting pics! Stoked.
