Bro'in down

If you're wondering what life is like during the off season for the Warren Wilson Mountain Bike team, it's pretty diverse. Some of the nerds are using this time for road riding and interval work, while others are using this time to ride some sweet jumps at our super secret training facility. Here's a good picture of former Wilson rider Pat 'I eat logarithms for breakfast' Hurley-



And here's a decent one of A 'Captain Barspin' J-


The Super Secret Training Facility has a wide variety of riders. While during the Fall, it was just bmx, we've actually had more guys on dirt jumpers show up in the past week. One of the smoothest is a dude named Peter. He's from UNCA and rides a sweet 1 1/2 inch travel steel dirt jumper. He whips this thing around like Indiana Jones-



I've been taking more pictures than jumps down there in the past few weeks. The last time I rode them, I caught a bar-end to the side of my knee, and I've been a big old baby about them ever since. If I don't get on the bike again soon, I'm afraid some of the 12 year olds are going to be better than me, and if I want that experience, I can just go to the BMX track.

Speaking of which, if you like blogs, you should check out Lexy 'I'd race blog my bowel movements if I could' Lewis'. He writes a surprisingly good blog about his adventures in the world of BMX racing, and what it's like to cream pre-teens on a daily basis. Check out our sidebar for the link.
