yep... although far less jumps these days as I am not quite as young as I use to be.. and I have a hip issue... The "cost of failure" during a jump attempt has gotten a bit too steep for anything too big... mostly just drops now I will hit a couple foot drop no worries. But yeah trail riding is the absolute best.

commented on Biblical rain in SoCal... so took a minute to clean DW5600 ·

Well, The problem isn't the rain exactly (although there is a lot of it like 9" in 72hrs... which to be fair I think would mess things up most places?).

the main problems are Flash Flooding / standing water collecting in feet of water on low sections of roadways... Landslides... every time it rains anything like this here, there are huge landslide risks...
