sweet pics man, that wallride photo rocks.

North Carolina is great place if you ride bikes. The scene is pretty laid back, the season never ends, and riding possibilities are endless. I have only lived here for about 18 months; there is no place I would rather be. Here are some pics from one of our local spots. Thanks to Cliff15 and Mountaingeeker for the photo's:


I'll be 39 Nov.1. I'm just grateful to still be able to get out there and ride.


Joel boosts like crazy everytime.


Eastern Bike's Joe Haley is SICK!


Don boosting the Hollywood jump. He's a local celebrity.


Me and Don. Don wants you to see his teef.


Haley.


Me on the mainline.


Don on the mainline.


A couple more years and Geeker's boy Conner is gonna be a trailboss. Bet on it.


Alex jumping out of the pit.

Turnbar competition. Me first...


Mark trumps me...


Don wins Xgames turnbar gold!


Thanks for looking.

This is a pic from last night. You can't tell from the pic but this set is about 3 feet taller than my truck. My first try at it i endoed real bad on the landing. It was scary. I have had 2 back surgeries. When I got up from the crash my back felt so good. My back got tweeked in a good way crashing. It hasn't felt this good in 2 years. I did it a few times after the crash and then decicded I shouldn't push my luck (especially without my helmet).

Yay! Trails season resurrection!

Best thread on Vintage!

Kelly, I nominate you for the BMX Hall of Fame!

Here is a pic of Benny Baker. His birthday was yesterday 4-21. He turned 7. He is jumping and getting back side on this line of little jumps now. It is so great to be riding trails with our sons.

Super cool Kelly.

Father and son over under line.

Flaming rail at night.

We are having a camp out riding session at the trails this weekend. I'm really looking forward to it.

Fire Rail ride for the win!

Holy smokes Kelly that is so cool you and your son in that pic!!!! Now I need one of my 5 year old son and me Those trails are so TRICK hope you do ride with a helmet on!!!!that air is SICKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A update bump for the trail season thread. I have been cutting wood to heat the home this winter. I'm not that good at falling trees yet and this one is hanging over the wall ride now. This is my freind Snake and he doesn't seem to mind the tree being there.


A couple tabe pics. Sorry if I'm dragging this thread on too much.

I love it when this thread gets bumped.

Those last two are fantastic, Kelly!

are you kidding?

i can look at riding pics all day long but i love the fact that so much of your riding is centered around your family. it's a beautiful thing kelly. ride on man!

+1

If you consider this dragging a thread out, keep on keeping on. These are great picks from everyone who's posted!!

Thanks a ton everyone. Have a great fathers-parents weekend. I hope to ride with the family and freinds and get some more pics. I have a different idea for a trail pic. Maybe I'll be able to do it this weekend.
Bad dad or good dad? As far as saftey goes. He broke his arm on a trampoline 2 weeks ago and insisted that he could ride and I know he can. At least I made him wear his helmet. He told me today (no kidding) to slow down dad so I can follow in your footsteps. Fathers day rules when your a real dad. Sorry if that sounded jerkish.

i love that picture!

and no way kelly. you are an involved and caring dad and of course that makes "your" day mean even more. did your heart almost burst out of your chest with pride when your son said that?

This really is a great thread, and really great stuff Kelly.

heck yeat, drag it out. Trails rule. I'll take these pics any day over lame pedalling ones... lol.
I need to get some out of our trails... and all the ones in IN.
Vince Potter and the Harcourt trails in Indy are out of control... the best built they ever have been. Cant wait to get down there if they ever get unflooded... lol.l

One of our sets of trails locally. I haven't been up there yet this year so I don't even know if they are still up & running. They are actuaaly on county park land & there have been threats of the place getting plowed if the trash continues to be an issue. Cornfed, where are the trails you posted? I am considering a move to NC in a few months.

Kelly you RULE! What a father's day present........can't beat it. (Not jerkish at all.) I'm coming by this summer, seriously.

trail bump. kids get out there and get digging!! Click to view attachmentours are running real good in the NW.

18"jumping.

Mickey, 1988 Auburn wall ride in 2008.

Getting booted from Vintage BMX rail grind.

I see, a bad moon a rising.

Um...um....

I could have gone without seeing that one. HA!

Besides, that "street" anyway, isn't it? Wait a minute...what do you call a rail slide in the middle of the woods?

BS, I call the rail our "trail rail". I know it probably isn't a very good idea to be doing that rail without a helmet on.

too funny. when i responded above my system was moving so slow i thought there was only one pic. then when i saw maurice's post i thought it was some kind of in-joke. today when i saw bs' post i knew i hadn't gotten the "full" picture the first time so i looked at it on my cell. doh!

hey kelly - how about calling that the moon-o-rail?

There's a nice little trails video at ryanhoey.com. For those of you who are fans of grown men riding little kids bikes on dirt mounds like me.

Are trails freestyle? Or is freestyle trails?

Ryan Hoey, as mentioned above.

Keith Terra.

Pretty much an update after every weekend at a URL name which violates the board's rules and stuff but I didn't get in trouble, this time unless I go to a race or something.... Then there's a race update.

those are pretty amazing pics. did you take them?

Yea, I am kinda a photographer, but most of the time I am to busy riding, so I don't take 'good' photos. This day I happened to mess up the left side of my body in the first 10 minutes, so I did work.

Love the lighting. Is that some "commander mode" remote-flash wizardry?

M

Yea, I broke out the pocket wizards and stuff that day... I guess my blog name is to offensive to link, but you can get to it easily through ryanhoey.com.

Those pics are great.

trails are soooo fun and soooo good this time of year. Get out there and dig..and sweep...and water..and shred. Kids need to get off their arses and quit being lil biatchs about the parks being full of skaters and fruitbooters. BUILD your own scene. Here's a clicked lookback by hambone in the NW. werd.

and here's the pic..NW represent!

I have trails at my house that I've been working on for the last year. They are coming along pretty well. There are lots of photos and some video on my site. Click the blog and scroll down for miles. ha ha. At the bottom you'll get to "older posts" and the first one there has more trail pics. Here's the link to the video. I've built some of the jumps up since then.

I can't wait to ride your trails with you Towne.

all i can say is there better be somebody there with a camera

have fun guys!

you weren't kidding when you said scroll for miles but it was worth it.

where were annette and moondoggie in the beach video tho? and who was who? you gave names but i couldn't even see the faces well enough on my puter to know which one was you. there was green shirt, stripe shirt and white shirt. really good stuff scott. great production company name lol
