Back on the Horse
I managed to successfully fight off the urge to sleep this morning long enough to hit up Duncan Creek at 6:50. Oddly, I was not the first person there. It was odd being back on my bike after a, what, 7 month lay off. Felt good though.
Sadly, Duncan Creek was full of trash two feet away from the trash cans, which are located about every 5 feet. I think teenagers are why we can’t have nice things. There was also the first spot of graffiti on a low ledge. Classy those Gwinnett kids, I tell you…
On a completely different note.
You know, I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with the half a bike’s worth of parts in my garage for a while now. I wanted to do a throwback 80’s GT homage build. Then I thought about doing a completely unhip build (you know using strictly parts from companies that aren’t in fashion in BMX. I mean, I ride an Eastern, but, besides the forks, every other after market part on it is from a company that people like like Animal or Federal or, good Lord I have a lot of Odyssey). But, you know now that Subrosa has layback seatposts, you can find chrome frames and there are Generra Hypercolor Odyssey Chameleon parts, the throwback, non-GT, bike might be the way to go…
I was kind of bugged out when I saw the graf at DC. I kind of felt like, okay, now someone has started it, so its going to just turn into a mess in a few months. Don’t get me wrong, I dig some graf, I just happen to like it more on walls and trains than on -professionally built parks-. My entire teenage life I DREAMED of riding a park that nice, and now that it is just down the street it kind of bugs me out to see how people just treat it so casually as far as trash.
I remember last summer when we all used to get there early we would try to go around and pick up all the crap that was left behind. I guess I am just an old fart woodsy owl or something.
Glad to hear you got some riding in.
