I any of you see me heading for a feature in the future, knock me over and don't let me do it, thogh I may any way.Thanks to all that rode and tipped a beer back with us, already looking foward to next season, that is, after I heal up a bit mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Did you see who made the Bomber homepage? When you look at his photo and look at the Silver Surfer, you realize that he IS the Silver Surfer. When I grow up, I want to carve like Kevin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big mario Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) The pic of Kevin's replaced was of another LCI rider Mario Edited May 7, 2013 by big mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Who did he bump? Was Kevin's photo taken at Loveland (or A-Basin)? Interesting that they credit the photog but not the rider. I love his stance - almost touching - but not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Sorry that I didn't credit the rider. I can't do everything! Well, ok, I can. My apologies to Kevin! I just figured Kevin is so uber popular, that EVERYONE would know who it was! Sorry Mr Mario for bumping you! Fin makes me change the photos every once in a while, and since that photo had all the SES info, I had to remove it. If someone has another awesome pic of the big man, please send it to me and I promise to put it up. AND credit everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big mario Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) No worries Michelle, it was an honor to grace the home page as long as I did. Ace took a bunch of amazing pics that day at lovey, any one of which would not be out of place on the home page. I just happened to be on my game that day. John, that was shot on roulette, which was awesome even though it wasn't groomed. Here is a link to the thread with some of the pics and a video: http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?34336-Brilliant-short-video-of-some-Loveland-carving&p=350053#post350053 Edited May 7, 2013 by big mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big mario Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Got in a quick ride at the big green mound today, and in my less rotund shape it was a relative breeze. Planning on another tomorrow night, and one on thursday. P will be in Boston next weekend, so planning on rides both days. Venues not determined yet, if any of you knuckleheads are interested let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.T. Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I might be up for a mellow ride on Sat. Trying to nurse a sprain back health this week, so I don't want to push it and re-injure myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big mario Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Don't wheel drop a curb with your flat barred road bike after having a couple(3) of >9% beers after your morning moutainbike ride.

big mario Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Been out twice so far between driving on the wrong side of the road, deep sea fishing, where I caught 30 lb wahoo, dr inking too much rum, and basically being a bum. Caught a wave on my own yesterday, and manageged to stack as soon as I stood up, got to far foward and managed to stuff the nose and pitchpole. The instructor and i where chatting after that, and I quote" maybe someday I can come to your mountain and be the kook" it was awesome. Heading out again on monday for one last session before I leave on Tuesday Mario:biggthump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishrising Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) Forewarning, in case anyone wants to meet up potentially for a ride.....I will be in Denver / Greenwood Village June 24-26th or so and may bring my mtn bike. I am a fairly new rigid singlespeed rider, so just getting into singlespeed shape. Been averaging rides of 6-10 miles with up to about 1300' of vert (@ ~400' above sea level) to give you some general fitness level info. Might look to do a nearby night ride or two and maybe take a day off to go exploring. Link to my MTBR post. A local ride of mine on Strava. And I will not be offended if you do not want to ride with me due to our varying fitness levels, as I am the slow guy in my normal riding group of riders...

big mario Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Ben if you have a double squishy id say bring that, or your geared bike, altitude can and will whip your buttocks. Our front range trails tend to go ftom 0 to 110 per in a few hundred yards, and I have seen a few uber athletes of less than manly stature such as yours (less than 200 lbs) really suffer on a single speed(, Ink, that would be Mike Drummond) and our trails tend to be fairly steep and rocky. Pm me and I will be in touch in a few days when I get back in the states mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkaholic Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 For rentals ask that one on mtbr. My guess for best bet would be Golden Bike Shop but others on that forum will have better knowledge. I too may be able to join you for a ride. In other news, we the RunesOhana, have been evacuated for the night as the Blue Bell fire is just on the other side of the Mtn from us. All Virus boards have been evac'd as well along with 4 bikes. We're all good and staying in Centennial for now. Ink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
