GETTING PUMPED UP
GETTING PUMPED UP for a ride is so fun. The music cranked, bass thumping, a little too much caffeine...
... coursing through our veins.
High energy.
The great MX champ, Mike "Too Tall" Bell, said it best one fine morning.
His son with him in his truck,
my son with me in my car.
Mike's window rolls down,
heavy heavy metal melts the air, and he yells...
... We're getting pissed off!
So funny.
I snapped the MTB out of the stand this afternoon.
The tires were way low,
the shock pressures even lower.
Time to pump up.
Once I arrived at the acres of single track,
started leaning into the berms,
unweighting and prejumping...
... I got to thinking.
Deathgripping,
muscle straining,
makes the brain think...
... This could be dangerous.
The irony.
When the grip is easy on the bars
the arms loose and flowy..
... more speed is easy and natural.
