im converting my street bike to flatland,
I used to ride alot back in the day as a youngin.   looking to pick it up agian.
im right above ft lauterdale area.  - pompano - deerfield - coral springs -margate, ext...
any one know of some dudes around my way?

I saw a dude riding a breakless setup 0 deg ofset forks and stem
at my local hockey rink down by federal hw and copans. - when I was skating.
he was a cool dude - let me ride his setup and all.

hope I run in to him again.
there is lotts of stuff I need to learn.  and its harder to do by yourself.

You see, Kendall may be a bit too south for the folks coming down from north. (So far i know 2.) We gona try and make it happen around central east coast miami like Bayside, so its even for us to drive to. As for that shopping lot spot, would you be able to snap some photos so we have an idea of the scenario?

I WILL BE SCOUTING MY DESIGANTED AREAS TOMOROW AND WILL PROVIDE PICS FOR YOU ALL TO CHECK OUT.

in case anyone wants to reach me. my celly is 786 252 0517 -dont hesitate to call

Thanks bud. I like that Kmart lot, pretty wide. I hope its not at a slope if you know what i mean. Lot by my crib is sloped and its annoying. Wait till u see my snaps of paved dome and tennis courts.

Unfortunately no one met up Saturday. Although I hit up an old spot at elementary skool around my corner. Soon i'm gona paint my pegs and go crankless for a bit, something i wana test out.

Whats good yall???

Post by: brian84corvette on April 28, 2008, 05:22:31 AM
me and my friend drew met up with Julian ( rician rider ) today and had a sesh
at the free park by his house.     nice big smooth roller hockey arena on a verry slight slope.
had a good sesh.    nice place to ride - and centraly located for all us south fl guys to get to.
turns out I know julian from when I worked at the skatepark in coralsprings.  small world

95 get off at sheredan street - a little west,   
and head a little south. - food and drink is avalable close by too.

what time do the lights stay on till out there? 
I bet we could organize 5 or 6 guys to meet up one day there.
its definately not the kind of place you would get kicked out of for riding.
Title: United weekend summary
Post by: RicanRider on April 28, 2008, 10:10:09 AM
 :beer: :beer: :beer:  Cheers brothas,
This weekend has been most active flatlanding for me. Saturday I met up with (Rick 72) and with his buddy Bruce, brought them to my fav open spot just in broward. Say we rode for a good 5 hours!! Yes a long day indeed since these guys drove 2 hr trip from naples just to meet up. Talk about unity :beer: ...I could learn alot from these guys, as i have already.

Sunday, as Brian tells the story. Fun riding at our new spot, which by the way I posted it on 'spot map' (mad info on that, go check it: stan goldman free park) Onward, sunday's blazing hot session burned for 4 hours :mellow: thank god for the mini stores next door and the most expensive slice of pizza i've ever eaten. Including the extra hour i rode myself resulted in my legs cramping and got tangled in bike :wub:. Skies the limit my ass!
The park lights kick in prior to darkness and turn off just after 9. Its true, we might just have our ultimate location for jams. I will shoot some pics a/s as i fix my cam.

PS - Brian, your techdeck bike is so f*cking light a baby can use it. lmaooo

Stories anyone?
Title: The experiment was success
Post by: RicanRider on April 30, 2008, 12:28:59 PM
 So I ened up making my own BPS wheel (balance point setup), haha. You know...the front wheel, fork, stem and bar. NO FRAME. it took a good hour 30 min cuz installed brake and also my first time throwing it together. Its actually fun to cruise around in elbow glide stance. at least thats what i do. Rick had mentioned it to me, but it wasnt until i saw it in "The Byke Project" slideshow to show how it looked built.

Title: Re: Flatlanders in South Florida?
Post by: brian84corvette on July 07, 2008, 02:16:35 AM
me - rick72 - bruce - and emerge (drew)
all met up half way across alagator alley - and rode the blazing hot sun
on the fourth of july.   was a good session.  even on the sandy slick tarmac we had to ride.

every time I ride with rick he teaches me new stuff to dial in.
I doubt id be progressing as fast with out his help.   rick is the man.

but dang it was hot.  I managed to suffer a little heat exaustion,  and sunburn  but it was worth it to ride with guys as good as rick and bruce

so what up FL ?   where are all you other flat peeps at?   lets go ride!

will come down to meet up.

can probly convince flatland chris to show,   me.   vince is taken out right now with a torn bicep mussle ( ouch! )    and im shure Tik will show.   maby his friend also.

would be cool if we could get seba and jose to come up from miami,   or rick and bruce from
naples area.

This is a bit random, but do any of you florida locals know Gerry Smith. He was pro many years ago and lived in Tampa and rode in wynn dixies parking lot. Damn , he was good. Has he quit, coz I haven't heard anything about him in years?

Gerry actually bought a new bike about a year ago. He lives in NY now.

damn...i was really hoping to take the trip down with Tim.
hope u all have a great time...im sure u will. :beer: :mellow:

used to live down there in the mid 90s.
dont remember exactly which # streets it was between but it was just south of North Shore State Recreation Area in N. Miami.B between Harding and Collins.

it was nice down there, and much cheaper living than NJ.

South Beaches nightlife changed my life. NYC always treated me good, but South Beach treated me BETTER. :beer: :mellow: i used to walk from where i lived to SB almost every nite on the beach. good times.

Ive just gotten back on my bike after a two year lay-off due to injury and personal garbage. Im from JAX, but living in Cocoa now. Your scene looks awesome. Your pics from recent gathering look great and looks like fun was had by all. Is it a regular thing for your group to get together like this? If so, thats awesome. If not, no matter. Im just happy to be riding again and would make the trip to ride with even one person. Hit me up.

Your pics from recent gathering look great and looks like fun was had by all. Is it a regular thing for your group to get together like this? If so, thats awesome. If not, no matter. Im just happy to be riding again and would make the trip to ride with even one person. Hit me up.

MIKE

idk if its a normal all the time thing, but i come down from chicago about 3-4 times a year to ride w/them

went and rode again today,  this time at my local hockey arena
with a roof over the entire place,
it rained,   we kept riding.

my self,   tik , luis , and my homeboy gustavo ( aka gabe ) from miami came up
we had a good session for a while.   I got tired and bailed first.

riding every day this week + work = me tired.
but also I learned a bunch of new crap.

now I can do hang 5 with one hand off the bars,  and also make super small circles
in hang 5 -     and cliffhangers are scarry still but I deal.

I finally registered. Well, I had a great time with Brian, T, and Luis at the hockey spot. That's the best place to ride. No complaints. Chris showed up after everybody had left. I give the place 5 stars. I'm probably going back this friday (off from work) to ride. So if anybody is available, I'll be there after 2pm. Hopefully by that time the maintenance guy will be off and won't kick us out.
Peace,

along with rick , tik , and drew
was a sweet basketball court session.

the local hockey arena was taken by a whole pack of soccer guys.
but the session was still sweet over at the b ball courts.
just not as fast pavment as the hockey arena hybrid surface.

hope to ride with yall again soon.

Ive been noticing alot of you guys getting together on a regular basis. Is it pretty random, or like a weekly deal. Im only off on weekends and it looks like a lot goes down thru the week for you guys. Im in Cocoa, so its a tiny drive. Kinda hard thru the week unless I play sick. Of course Ive NEVER, EVER missed a day of work just to ride my bike. LOL If I know in advance Im gonna call out, I just dont schedule apointments for that day. So its not that big of a deal. Let me know.

Hey Brian. Been meaning to give you a call. Had an awesome time going down and riding with Rick, Bruce, Terry and everyone else at the park in Lehigh. Ive been nursing this torn shoulder but I go to the surgeon tomorrow. Anyways, Thanks to Rick and a few others, My KGB Is up and running and I was able to retire the Militant I was riding. Im figuring that while Rick is up North will be a good time to try and come your way and ride also. Ill get back with you soon and see when we can set up a session. Hopefully tomorrow afternoon, Ill have a little more insight as to how long my shoulder needs to heal. Im trying to find some way to stabilize it so I can ride until it heals. As of now, it completely gives out on me as soon as I put ANY stress on it. Time will tell................. MIKE.

OK I GOT A FEW QUESTION FOR YA'LL

I KNOW RICK AND BRUCE LIVE IN NAPLES
HOW FAR IS NAPLES FROM MIAMI DRIVING WISE?

I SEE WHERE FORT MEYERS IS..WAY UP ABOVE NAPLES
ON THE CALOOSAHATCHEE INLET AND HOW FAR IS FT MEYERS
AS I SAW 1-2 RIDERS THERE.


WHAT ARE THE DRIVING DISTANCES FOR SOUTH BEACH, MIAMI,
FT LAUDERDALE ETC.

WHY I AM ASKING THIS IS IM THINKING OF COMING OUT FOR
HOLIDAY IN SEPTEMBER AND I WILL BRING MY BIKE AS I GOT ONE
OF THOSE DANS COMPETITION FLIGHT BAGS. I HAVE BEEN TO MIAMI
A FEW TIMES BUT DO NOT KNOW MY WAY AROUND AND I WILL BE
RENTING A CAR THERE WHEN I GET THERE.

I NEED A PLACE TO STAY THOUGH AS THAT WOULD REALLY MAKE THE
TRIP POSSIBLE AND IM STAYING OUT OF SUBURBS DADE COUNTY AS MUCH
AS POSSIBLE AS I DONT LIKE BIG SNAKES BUT I DONT MIND GATORS AS
WE HAD THEM OUT BACK IN THE CREEK ON THE PLANTATION IN GEORGIA.
YA'LL KNOW IM A SOUTHERN BOY AND IM USE TO GATORS AND MOCCASSINS
AND ALL KIND OF CRITTERS BUT NOT THE ONES THAT ARE NOT NATIVE AND
CAN EAT YOU THOUGH GATORS BEEN KNOWN TO TAKE A PERSON OR TWO!

THOSE BIG ASIAN MONITOR LIZARDS SCARE THE JESUS OUT OF ME TOO WHICH
YOU HAVE DOWN THERE ALONG WITH AMER.CROCS, IGUANAS, 3 TYPES OF MONKEYS,
GECKOS..WE DONT HAVE THESE TYPES OF CRITTERS HERE IN CALIFORNIA AND
WE HAVE GECKOS AND PARROTS AND THAT IS ALL! OH IGUANAS IN SO-CAL OR
LA LA LAND!

IM LOOKING AT SEPTEMBER 6TH-SEPTEMBER 21ST AND IF EVERYTHING GOES
WELL I MIGHT START MAKING FLORIDA A VACATION SPOT TO GET AWAY FROM
HERE AS THE WEATHER IS IFFY AS HELL LATELY AS WE HAD A HIGH OF 62 F
TODAY AND THE WIND MADE IT IN THE HIGH 50'S...BRRRRRR IN LATE MAY!!

I HAVE WINTER BREAK DECEMBER 14- JANUARY 3RD WHICH WOULD THE
OTHER TIME TO COME DURING THE YEAR!

HERE ARE THE RIDERS I KNOW RIDE DOWN THERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA!

-SEBA
-JULIAN
-TIKA
-LUIS
-COREY
-ALEX
-JOSE
-GUSTUVO
-BRIAN WHO DRIVES A CORVETTE???  WTF!!
-EMERGE
-RICAN RIDER??/ AKA JULIAN
-BRUCE AND RICK IN NAPLES!

HEYA IS KNIGHT BIKES STILL OPEN IN SOUTHLAND MALL?

GET BACK TO ME!

I GOT TO BE BACK IN UNI ON SEPTEMBER 24TH AND UNI BY THE WAY
IS NOT A BLOODY SHORT SEAT BUT SHORT FOR UNIVERSITY!

I GET AN 3.925 GPA AT EAST BAY UNIVERSITY AND GET ON THE DEAN'S LIST
EVERY QUARTER!

ok, as the chicago transplant of south florida, i can tell you that miami is about 45-1hr from ft. lauderdale depending on time of day(up I-95).  naples is due west of ft. lauderdale i believe about 1.5hrs away(down whats known as "aligator alley" or I-75).  the rest brian could probablyy help ya with.  my work usually sends me down there so i stay at the laquinta business suites in doral(just west of miami, but i've also stayed in miami lakes and up at brians girlfriends house in margate(by coral springs). aligators dont scare me at all...lol just ask brian how i walk right up to them ;D but the lil lizards they have crawling all over can get anoying cuz they startle you when ya dont expect it.

all the wild life I ever see here are gators and lizards.

snakes dont come out.  I have yet to see a snake over 2 ft long around here
and I live by the everglades,  and ive been here 10+ years.
also have never seen a monitor or monkey.  haha.


daily riders list my area :
me
gustavo
tik
luis
drew

south of me by about 45 min drive in a car:
gustavo - he lives south but comes out to the hockey rink on sundays so he is my crew too.
seba
julian ( aka rican rider )

and west of me by a little over an hours drive :
rick ( aka rick72 )
bruce
and I think there are a fiew more riders out west
maby a bit more north,  but I havent got to meet those cats yet.

it was awesome riding with johnu773 from chicago one weekend,
and riding with david debueno from NY. the next  at the covered hockey arena.
realley its my favorite spot to ride.
wish I could get the miami guys to come up and ride it once.
they would be hooked.   its smooth and flat - pretty grippy - and it has a roof
and its huge -  rain or shine = good to go and there is lights on till 9pm.
what more could you ask from a spot.

BRIAN AND SOUTH FLORIDA RIDERS

SO YA'LL KNOW

-THERE ARE SOME 30,000 BURMESE PYTHONS ON THE LOOSE IN
SOUTH FLORIDA AND I WONT TELL YOU ALL THE COUNTIES THEY ARE
FOUND BUT RURAL DADE COUNTY IS ONE OF THEM. THEY AVERAGE
14-18 FEET LONG AND ALL THE BIG ONES AND THAT MEANS UP TO 27
FEET LONG ARE STILL IN THE EVERGLADES. THIS IS INFO FROM
NEWSPAPERS, AOL AND ONLINE INFO.

NOW I AM NOT WORRIED ABOUT BEING EATEN BY ONE OF THESE
BURMESE PYTHONS AS THEY HAVE TO BE 3 TIMES PLUS 3 FEET YOUR
SIZE SO 18 FEET IS NOT LONG ENOUGH AND IM 5'9'' 1/2 SO THE
SNAKE WOULD HAVE TO BE 15 FEET PLUS 27 INCHES WHICH IS 2 FEET
3 INCHES PLUS ANOTHER 3 FEET SO IT WOULD HAVE TO BE AROUND 21
OR 22 FEET LONG SO SAYS THE HERPETOLOGISTS.

THE SNAKE WOULD ALSO HAVE TO BE TWICE YOUR BODY WEIGHT SO
YEAH 185 X 2 =370 LBS AND THE THE 27 FOOTERS ONLY REACH 250
POUNDS MAX......NOT EVEN CLOSE AS THEY ARE SLIM SNAKES.

THE 27 FOOT SNAKES THOUGH ARE A BIT SCARY THAT ANYONE UNDER
5 FEET TALL AND 125 LBS CAN BE EATEN BY ONE OF THEM AND THIS
MEANS CHILDREN AND EVEN TEENAGERS OR SMALL PEOPLE. I KNOW
THIS GIRL WHO IS 25 YEARS OLD AND SHE IS 5'1 AND 120 LBS SO YEAH
SHE COULD BE SNAKE FOOD.

WHATS REALLY SCARY ARE THE ANACONDAS AND YES THEY ARE IN THE
EVERGLADES, AGAIN RELEASED BY SOME IDIOT HUMANS LIKE EVERYTHING
ELSE IN FLORIDA THAT IS NOT NATIVE. THESE SNAKES CAN REACH 32-33
FEET LONG AND 350 LBS AND ARE VERY BULKY AND YES ANYONE PRETTY
MUCH IS SNAKE FOOD FOR THEM AND THEY ARE WATER SNAKES.

SHOULDERS BLADES YOU SAY..RIGHT AND THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR
THE JAWS TO UNHINGE AND GET OVER BUT ON YOUR SIDE IS ALOT EASIER
THAN YOU THINK TO GET OVER IT..ON YOUR BACK OR STOMACH BEING EATEN
WONT HAPPEN BUT IF YOUR ON YOUR SIDE..NO PROBLEM FOR THE SNAKE TO
GET OVER THE SHOULDER BLADES SO YOU KNOW!

WE ARE PREY AND FOOD AND WE ARE ALSO PART OF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM
SO WE ARE BOTH PREY TO A FEW AND PREDATORS TO MANY!

I AM SURPRISED NO ONE SEEN THE BURMESE PYTHONS AS I SEEN SHOWS
WITH PEST AND WILDLIFE PEOPLE CAPTURING BIG SNAKES AT 15-17 FEET
LONG IN BACKYARDS OF PEOPLE IN SOUTH FLORIDA! THEY AGAIN SAY THE
REAL BIG SNAKES ARE STILL IN THE EVERGLADES AND WE MIGHT START
TO SEE MORE OF THE BIGGER SNAKES AT 20 PLUS FEET!

BY THE WAY THE SMALL LIZARD YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT ARE ANOLES AND
THEY ARE AGAIN INTRODUCED SPECIES AND MIGHT BE EITHER THE GREEN TREE
ANOLES OR THE CUBAN TREE ANOLES AND THERE ARE SOME 3-4 SPECIES OF
ANOLES NOW IN FLORIDA AND THEY ARE AGGRESSIVE LITTLE FOOKS!

THERE ARE ALSO MEGA AGGRESSIVE GREEN IGUANAS(IGUANA IGUANA) AND
BLACK TAILED IGUANAS(TSAURANAS) TO DEAL WITH IN SOUTH FLORIDA ALONG
WITH AMERICAN CROCODILES, CAIMAN ALL INTRODUCED AND JAMAIICAN MONKEYS,
CUBAN MONKEYS ALONG THE 3 SPECIES OF MONKEYS FOUND IN FLORIDA.

I WONT EVEN GO INTO THE 6-7 FOOT ASIAN MONITOR LIZARD ROAMING AROUND
IN 7-8,000 OF THEM IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND THOSE ARE SCARY..THEY ARE BIGGER
THAN ME IN LENGTH AND HAVE A VICIOUS BITE TO THEM..TAKE A HAND OFF!

OTHER INTRODUCED CRITTERS IN FLORIDA
                                                                                     
FRICKEN PARROTS!!!

-15 GENUS OF PARROTS, MACAWS, LOVEBIRDS AND TOUCANS(FOLLOW YOUR NOSE..)
-13 SPECIES AND 5 GENUS OF GECKOS..4 ARE FOUND NATURALLY THERE
-JESUS CHRIST LIZARDS AKA BASKLISKS..3 SPECIES!  THEY WALK ON WATER
- AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON

FLORIDA IS NOW A ZOO WITHOUT THE FENCES AND ENTRY FEES...LOL

ONLY PLACE ON EARTH WITH TWO SNAKES THAT REACH 20 FEET PLUS IN
ANACONDAS(14-33 FEET LONG) AND BURMESE PYTHON(14-27 FEET LONG) 

FLORIDA ALSO HAS 3 SPECIES OF CROCODILIAS THAT ARE CAPABLE OF
EATING PEOPLE BLACK CAIMAN(12-16 FEET LONG), AMERICAN CROCODILE
(9-17 FEET) AND AMERICAN ALLIGATOR (7-12 FEET)

FLORIDA IS TRULY TROPICAL IN ALL SENSES!!

The only animals I see near my house are cats, dogs, and a few spiders inside my room. No wild animals except for those wanna be gangsters that hang around my riding spot selling drugs. Those animals!!!

Post by: flt trix rider43 on May 27, 2009, 11:19:59 PM
DAVE,

WHAT KIND OF IGUANAS AS THEY HAVE TWO SPECIES DOWN THERE
GREEN IGUANAS AKA IGUANA IGUANA OR THE BLACK SPINEY TAILED
IGUANAS AKA TSAURANUAS..THEY CAN BE VERY MEAN AND VICIOUS AND
TAKE A FINGER OR TWO OFF IF PROVOKED..THE ASIAN MONITOR LIZARDS
ARE THE REAL VICIOUS LIZARDS DOWN THERE REACHING 6-7 FEET AND CAN
TAKE A WHOLE HAND OFF.

THE ANOLES ARE REALLY AERIAL AND CAN CLIMB TREES VERY QUICK AND
JUMP FROM BRANCH TO BRANCH SO YEAH THEY CAN SCARE THE BEDEVIL OUT
OF YOU IF YOU ARE NOT AWARE THEY ARE AROUND.

I WAS LOOKING AROUND MY PROPERTY AND SAW 10 BLACK WIDOW SPIDERS
AND THERE IS ONE THAT I SWEAR IS THE BIGGEST BLACK WIDOW I HAVE EVER
SEEN AND THOSE ARE VERY VERY VENOMOUS SPIDERS AND I ALSO HAVE WOLF
SPIDERS WHICH ARE HYPER AGGRESSIVE IF YOU MESS WITH THEM AND THEY
WILL GO AFTER YOU AND ARE MILDLY VENOMOUS. THE LAST SPIDERS
I SEE ON MY PROPERTY ALOT ARE THE WESTERN BROWN DADDY LONG
LEGS WHICH ARE THE MOST VENOMOUS SPIDERS HERE BUT THEIR FANGS
ARE NOT LONG ENOUGH TO PENETRATE HUMAN SKIN AND THE WESTERN
MARBLED ORB SPIDER WHICH HAVE VERY MILD VENOM.

I GOT QUITE A COLLECTION OF SPIDERS HERE AND THERE ARE A FEW OTHERS
LIKE THE WESTERN CRAB SPIDERS, CALIFORNIA TRAP DOOR SPIDERS AND
TARANTULAS WHICH YOU CAN SEE ESPECIALLY ON MT DIABLO DURING MATING
SEASON AS THEY ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THEY ARE TOO HYPER
AGGRESSIVE.

I go fishing in the everglades once a month.
I see the following....

fish that look like alagators.  called "gar"
(http://frank.itlab.us/silverglen_2004/small/gar_fish2.jpg)
and are terrafied of humans + big things like a human.
when I catch them,  I use long needle nose plyers to un hook them.
they have alagator style mouths.
 :huh:
I see a bunch of alagators,
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3018/2763228504_cca2deb485.jpg)


and they are ultra annoying when trying to fish,  as they want to eat your lure also.
I have hooked up with about 6 gators that actually bit on to my fishing lure
and had quite a good time realing them in,  as they fight like all get out,  practicly spooling
my reel at times.     some how they always manage to let the lure go,  or the hooks dont set in well in their mouths maby as they have tough skin,    cause I dont realley know what id do if I managed to reel a aligator up to the bass boat.
probly freek out and cut the line.

and there are turtles,  and lizzards on the banks.

I have yet to ever see a snake in the everglades.
they are there,  no doubt about that.   I have never seen one = and im there alot.
maby they blend in well or something.
one intresting fact -  they are constrictors.
and you will have plenty of time to fight off a constricting snake if attacked.
a simple pocket knife will completely ward off any snake trying to wrap around you
to suffocate you.    just one or 2 jabs in with a pocket knife of any sorts,
and that snake is out of there.     no poison fangs or anything to worry about like that.
food is plentyful in the glades for predators like snake and croc,   so ppl are not viewed as
food source.   
dont be scared of FL.  due to that bro.

come down and ride with us.
 ;D

YO
I HATE FLYING AND I WILL BE FLYING TO EUROPE AND BACK
so i am thinking amtrak and i can get to the Bart station which
is our local subway system and get to the Oakland Coliseum which
has an amtrak station within it.

i still need to check up on all the particulars but i dont know many days
it is to South Florida and then the cost and i will have about three weeks
between getting back from Europe and the start of the Fall University on
September 23rd.

dates i thinking of are September 4th-september 21st or if that does not
work out then i can come down another time when i have the whole summer
which looks like 2010 looks like that..i know it is the rainy season but hell we can
always ride in the many overhang areas you guys have.

YO GUYS

YEAH I GET BACK FROM EUROPE ON SEPTEMBER 2ND
AND MY FALL QUARTER AT UNIVESITY STARTS ON SEPTEMBER
22ND AND FOR ME TO TAKE AMTRAK WOULD BE THREE DAYS EACH
WAY AND THAT WOULD LEAVE ME SEPTEMBER 4TH-21 AS 17 DAYS
MINUS THOSE 6 DAYS FROM AND BACK AND THAT IS 11 DAYS AND
I THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER IF I CAME OUT THERE WHEN I CAN
STAY 3 WEEKS OR SO THAN JUST 11 DAYS!

ILL GIVE YEAH A HOLLAR WHEN I PLAN TO COME OUT THERE!

Whatup to all. Just came from physical therapy today. My therapist has released me to do some light riding. After two n a half months off, I need some kind of sick session to throw me back into the swing of things. When is the next time you all wanna get a bunch of people together? Ill drive where ever.
BTW spoke to Alex down in Miami, (Well texted) Rumors abound of a possible jam down there. He even has some outside help. May be awesome.
Anyhow, get at me. Im gonna spend a couple days getting back on the bike before I ride with anybody, but would love to meet up for one huge sick session sometime in the very near future.

I am living in Miami for the next 4 weeks (Hialeah area)

Who all is riding still and where? Enjoyed the pics from yalls jam a few pages back!
