Secret Mountain riding training course

April 09th, 2008 | Category: adventure/story time, bikes/bits, lots of pictures for the illiterati, rides, shit that rights up johnsons alley, warm and fuzzy | Author: JINX

So you may have seen a post last year about some training obstacles I set up in my backyard to help Christine improve her bike handling skills. This year I added another rock/log pile for her to crawl over and she tried it out today. Here’s the shots…

The course overall…over one pile, around the tree, and over another pile…(while dodging the bushes and clothesline)

This little training course in our backyard is an excellent lunch break escape…it’s really improving her bike handling skills and more importantly, her confidence.
Thanks to Casey for the bike on loan.
Please don’t let the fork comments outweigh the cheers of encouragement for Christine’s riding.

    I second the helmet comment. You never know when that crazy fork will rebound and fling you head first to the ground.

    Bonus points to Cory for the amp pun.

    She doesn’t need a helmet, Christine’s ample bosom will cushion the fall. There, I said it, I’m allowed to say it since I’m a girl. Go Christine, Yahoo!!!!
