    If a trail has an "O" in the name, you can bet he helped make it. RickOshay, PanOrama, etc.....

    I will call on the wisdom of Anthony Kiedis for a hint...

    Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging. Celebrity skin is this your chin or is that war you're waging?

    The culture of superficiality is (ironically) deeply entrenched in southern California, be it bro trucks, tattoos and pit bulls in the IE or boob jobs, lips and facelifts in the OC. Appearance seems to matter more here than in most of the rest of the U.S. - as twisted as that appearance may be.

    And while we are pondering, has any one among us made a purchasing decision to enhance the appearance of a mt. bike rather than the function of it?

    Yes. Ano blue presta valve caps- which serve absolutely zero function (not even esthetics I think)
    Oh, and those “finned” brake pads. I thought they looked cool, but I didn’t notice any difference in performance with my skills/needs

    Me too. Green grips when I already had the exact same grips in grey. Green pedals ('though it's because I had a choice in colors - it's not that I got pedals to get green). Changed stickers on my fork from orange to green. I swear these are things I never would have considered when I lived in CO.

    And now, back to Barby's face.

    I couldn't wait to get rid of my old pedals. They were blue. My bike is black with white and yellow......

    Then I went with white grips.... They look rad when clean, for all of five minutes... Poor color choice for a mountain bike....

    Cool! I’m planning to ride this Wed, last time we met at P12 about 5:45pm. Rick was the lead rider that day and I learned a lot about the trails, so that was cool! He’s a good guy!
    Maybe @CBone can chime in re the ride time since I’m not on FB ;)

    My bike that just broke is the bright orange version of the Ripleym i have blue and white stars under the downturn and other similar decals across the frame and wheels. Then on the fork tubes there are stickers of Boss Hog. So it is likecthe General Lee version of a mtb. Except obviously it doesn't fly through the air as well. Haha

    I remember just a couple of months ago when Gunner was in that condition. What a great trail and so float it was. Now it is overgrown and you can see the exit of the turns. Rode it the same day I rearrange my face. Needs a weedwaker

    Oh I’m sure it flies through the air just fine. The landing, though... :p:) Glad you are well enough to post up. Reap the wisdom of a good biff. Speedy healing, Barby. :thumbsup:

    Healing vibes!

    If you bite through your lips, the good news is... that you still have teeth!

    My son did a face plant while running up some icy brick stairs at college. It was a cold day, and like all smart college students, he had his hands in his rear pockets, so nothing to break the fall as he ate the bricks. His teeth DIDN'T make it :( But the good news is, with the miracles of modern ortho surgery, he looks better than new today!

    That's as good as my younger one who was celebrating a kickball homerun... And ran into the back of a parked Toyota Camry. His knees hit the bumper, and he doubled over onto the trunk- leaving half of both Bugs Bunny teeth embedded in the metal. I was nearby and heard the impact. He was so shaken that he was holding his knees, and didn't realize that his teeth were embedded in the trunk. That was an interesting conversation with the neighbor. o_O

    That was actually the second time he broke them... And there were two more after this one. For the last couple, we had the dentist's personal cell. o_O

    I lost nine teeth when I got hit in the mouth with a baseball bat as a kid... but they were baby teeth.

    Needless to say... I needed braces when my adult teeth came in! My parents gave me the choice... braces, or continue to play hockey, LOL. They didn't want to pay the ortho bills if I was going to continue playing :)
