The Graveyard!

The trail behind our apartment is called The Graveyard!

Its called this, not because so many people have died riding it (though it's rumored that some have) but because you have to ride through a graveyard to get to it...


Theres a saying in Taiwan that the dead have the best real estate...


Looks pretty good to me...and so does the riding...

This is MARK! riding on the 'Moab' section...


MIKE! riding on the 'Moab' section....trying to land on the 'X'


MARK! getting some 'air'


Me, getting some 'air'...note the steely coil, cat like pose...and the err, rather large amount of armour that I am wearing...


MIKE! showing us how it should be done...


Bastard...I hate him!

In fact MIKE! showed us all how it should be done, all of the time...

I mean, why take the stairs when you can just jump of a wall?


Why bother walking your bike down gnarly bits when one can just ride effortlessly down them?


In fact why bother even getting off of your bike? Unless its to show people exactly how dangerous the section you've just rode is...


And why bother the neighbors with the clanking sound of bicycles, when you can just ride down their front stairs...


And see that bike he's riding? The Demo 9 weighs about ten thousand kilos...



The road climb up to the trail head takes about an hour...

My bike weighs about 2 kilos..

He still beat me...

Did I mention that I hate him?
