New people

Anyone new out there?

Florida Mtn Biking? Really?

Yes, Virginia, there is "mountain biking" in Florida. I hit up a small trail in Sebastian. Pretty cool. You will be able to check it out on the ole' youtube channel. mtnbikesouth. Get your sh@# together and visit it. tbone

Good mountain bike everyone.

Hey now! First, a thanks to the servicemen. What do they say? Freedom isn't free but the military will pay for most of it? Second, great weather we have been having. Check out my silent review of my Marzocchi 55 on youtube right over there on the right. Just got done climbing Paris Mountain, the road part. 19 mins on my hardtail. Shooting for 15 next time. Proroad bikers do it in 9 minutes. Peace tbone

PS: What a great looking bike, huh?

WTF!

How come only Jay has subscribed to mtnbikesouth on youtube? I know you guys are on youtube all day long. Come on people. Let's get it together.

New Youtube

Changed my youtube channel to Mtnbikesouth. Thought it was more fitting and memorable. It is linked to this site also. Check it out, you might be famous......Almost anyway.

New Guy!

Everyone say hello to Jay. He is a bit spent in this picture. 10 miles on flat pedals, ouch.Very worthy of being in the group. Guys got more bikes than I have jokes. He says he is always up for a ride. That's Tommy boy under the power lines. Also, check out the new videos on the tbarjr85 page. Peace. tbone

Well, hello there!

Good morning. Check out the new Paris Mountain video of my man Tommy "lightning" Boy racing down Kanuga on my little youtube channel. Peace. tbone

Good morning

How is everyone out there? Busy on the homefronts? My new Marzocchi 55 is nice. The fro lite Intense tires are sweet too. Friday, Paris?

My boy's famous.

Check out the October issue of Mountain Bike Action, page 40. I sent in a couple of pics last year of the boy. They printed em this Month. Proud papa. tbone

Matt has a plan

Matty H from Greenwood has a great idea for this fall. An invitation race at his house in Greenwood. I believe he is using his new track ho today. I will be there, knee or no knee. tbone

WV lovin

Snowshoe was a success. Thanks to all the home boys who went and put up with the rain and whining. Let's do it again. tbone

The hills of WV

Shipping out tomorrow with the crew. Keep an eye out for pictures of coal miners and moonshiners. tbone

Friday

We still in for Friday? tbone

Clock is ticking

In many ways, it's ticking. Till Snowshoe, 10 days. In life, always. It's funny how there is never really a "Groove" you get into. Just when you think you are back on the horse, it kicks your ass off. Weird in that way. I guess you just keep pedaling and doing your p90X, for those of use who are and enjoy the ride.......

Still getting it

Got out this past Friday with some pals and the "Baby momma" as some may call her. Great ride up at Bent Creek. Snowshoe is coming, quicker than you think. Get your forearms right, your tire pressure correct and your sh_t together. Tbone

We have a winner!

Simple as that my friends. CB takedown, aka, thor, wins the 10$ e gift certificate. Asheville PD in the house. tbone

Wow!

Well! I didn't realize the picture I posted was that hard to guess. Either that or my "blog" is so dam boring nobody really gives a shit anyway. Ha! Hmmmm. I don't know if I should change it or just leave it until it fades away. Oh well. Just thinking out loud. 23 more days boys. We have 9 going. Can't wait. tbone

PS, that picture, right there, is Scotty sliding down one of Snowshoes' finest!

Hot in the city.

Another good ride with home boy Josh "Demo" soon to be "Uzzi". My man just sprung for a 2010 Intense Uzzi. I'm jealous.

One Bourbon, one scotch, one beer

Well, hello out there. Went for a toasty 96 degree ride today at Paris. No, not where those dudes in spandex are riding, Greenville Paris. I think I don't mind the heat so much. You guys paying attention to the game of the month? Not that it is up yet. Just making sure you are out there. tbone

Happy 4th

Happy late independence day to my 10 forced email subscribers. Ok, the game goes like this, all of you on the email list and any followers, be the first to comment on a certain picture and tell me what it is, bam, 10$ gift certificate to a known mtn bike supplier via email. Keep an eye out, once a month this is gonna go down. The more people I get to follow my little blog, the higher the dollar amt. Tell your friend. tbone

Bust a move

Snowshoe is coming. Anyone else psyched about 2 days of lift assisted downhilling and drinking. (Not necessarily in that order) T

This must be just like living in paradise

Well, it is possible. Tommy boy and I rode yesterday up at old faithful, Bent Creek, and, I did it on a day or evening rather that I had to work. Squeezed it in. It was a night before decision but sometimes aren't those the best ones? I was psyched to try out my new Tachyon camera mount courtesy of Haynes Machining but had a bit of a malfunction. Not with the mount, but with the piece that snaps to the camera. Greens Lick sure would have been cool looking from the new view. No sweat though, a little epoxy and should be good as new. Hope you guys are riding and remember August 13th is only 53 days away. Peace. T bone

Jockin' Jay Z

Went out for a burn yesterday. 97 degrees. Good hour spin at Paris. Applied some anti persperant to my chamois. Works well.

French ride?

Tommy boy and I hit Paris today. Great 10 mile loop. Hot low, cool up high. Good to be in the USA! Also, July will be the first giveaway by rsb.blogspot.com. Yee haw! Yeah, that's me with Missy Giove. For those of you who don't know her, google her name. This pic was pre, ummmm, troubles.

Good day

Great day of shooting and riding at Matt's joint in Greenwood. I am surprised that no one has responded to the prize thing except two guys. Interesting......

Yup, prizes.

How bout a monthly 10 dollar gift certificate to a different mountain bike parts site? What other site gives away free prizes without having to guess what a picture is? Let me know what you think.

Prizes?

I'm thinking about giving away some sort of prize every month. Keep an eye out. T

New Video

Check out the newest creation. It's the Black Mtn run with Matt. Just click on one of the other videos and then, once it's up, click on the name of the video thats up. It will bring you to my video page on youtube. Check out the Black Mountain Bike video. t

Black in the saddle

Matty and I hit up Black Mountain trail in Pisgah. Great ride. 12 minutes of dh. Check out the pics and keep an eye out for the new video. T

Back to the future.

Alright, feeling good again. Heading out to the Black mountain trail Sunday with one of the RSB brothers, Matt, don't call me Han Solo, H. Check out the new video from Bent Creek over there on the right. I am still working out the uploading bugs and with dial up, it takes a while........T

Flat footed

Hello out there to the 10 viewers of my blog (albeit forced viewing with the emails). Don't you hate that word, blog? Sounds like something that happens the morning after a good night of drinking and eating wings..... Anyway, been under the weather a bit, trying to get my sea legs under me. August 13th is closing in. Check out the youtube link for a new video soon. I'm trying to make you guys famous. T

Are you man enough?

I'm thinking about getting my lazy ass in gear. I have a wild hair to do that 63 mile Mt Mitchell off road race in July. Who's with me?

Sneak Peek

Check out my man Scott's new free ride rig. All custom. 90% finished. Go Sox!

Bent Creek Boogie

Hit the famous Bent Creek trails in Asheville Sunday. Chad and Thomas showing me the ropes. Tommy boy showed off his newest tattoo and Chad showed me that police officers aren't just good at busting the bad guy. Good day.

Don't forget the videos

Hey gang. Check out the newest mtb video on the video link right over there on the right. Matty was a good sport. I did get his permission to post it by the way.

Use the force, Matt!

An on purpose ride in the rain brings back some fond memories of not caring what the weather was. If we planned a ride, it happened. Rain or shine. My man Matt came up from Greenwood to test out his new Jedi while I spun the One. It was like a Canfield party. If you can, you should join the party......

Getting the poison out!

Well, first race in the bag. The Spartanburg Stump Jump, for me, was a success. I hadn't been able to really train, at least that is my excuse, I hadn't eaten right, and, I rode my new Canfield One 6.5 inch travel trail/ all mountain bike. I got a respectable 6th out of 15, and yes, everyone in my class finished. It was a great course, fast, rolling singletrack. No major cramps as I didn't take off like a bat our of you know where. It was good for me as I know I can get better. The poison is out, time to get my shiite in gear.

Clear for take off

The video is pretty darn good with the new cam. I will chop something up soon and stick it on youtube. Keep your eye out. Anyone else in for the Spartanburg May 2nd xc race? T

We have video evidence

It's here and ready for a test run. I haven't put rides to video in a loooong time. Can't wait to use the Tachyon XC. Waterproof, shockproof, and ready to roll. Keep your eye on the youtube bar my friends. T
