  1. hey guys!

    I finaly rode my 20" DX on some four wheeler trails out on my churches
    property. I have explored these trails before today on both foot and
    b***.

    It's a realy fun bunch of trail for muni but it's not good for
    b***ing.

    After riding off of the parking lot. There is a 300 yrd length of
    field to ride untill i reach and ooold overgrown paintball field where
    there is an ATV trail that runs through the middle of the paintball
    course and eventually spits out over a steep rock, into a fork in the
    trail. Go right and you're in a large puddle. I rather go left becouse
    after the puddle on the right you are pretty much on the highway.

    So, going left there is a long straight away with many rocks. If i had
    an actual muni i would have loved to have to have gone fast. but Alas i
    do not. So i rode nice and steady.... then fell flat on my face.... so
    i got back on.... then continued.

    When i checked out the trail in the past the next puddle wasen't
    bad... but it rained.... hard. Now the puddle took up most of the
    visable trail untill the next bend. i didn't want to get wet so i
    decided not to ride it. sooo i took another left instead. this left
    took me to a rigorous uphill line with some rocks halfway up.

    So i sta.... and then my phone rings in my camelbak. So i stoped, took
    my camelbak off halfway,and relized it was a stupid text. i walk down
    the 5 feat i covered before the text, and began again. on my way up, i
    look down at the ground, carefully planning my route as i go. it seemed
    that i was hopi..... ring ring eh? Another text, this time i answered
    and told them to hold off the texting. by now i'm tired. So i started
    half-way before rocks. For some reason the only thing going through my
    mind was the song "crazy train" by black sabbath. I finaly reach the
    top nearly out of breath. i started my way down the hil and eventually
    back to the fork where i began.

    coming to the fprk in the trail to my right is the rock i "rode in on."
    so i sized it up, and relized it was alot harder then thought it would
    be and took about 10 tries to get up it in SIF.

    That is when i looked at my hand and see a large blister under my
    pinky/anular finger.It was deep under the skin. I couldn't tell what it
    was at the time so i mindlessly stretch out my hand and a shot of pain
    runs up my arm. and that is when i relised why so many municyclers wear
    gloves. " well there goes my ride." i thought "my seatpost was loose
    anyway." so i started my way back to the church.

    well that was pretty much todays muni... in a nutshell i'll take some
    pictures and video of the trails i rode on later.

    I've used about every kind of bike glove out there. Fox gloves are
    pretty nice, but tend to be spendy and don't last too long. I've been
    using some mechanics gloves lately, and they seem a little tougher,
    plus have little grippy rubber dots on the fingertips which I like.
    They're slightly less expensive at around $15-20 msrp, although the
    ones I'm using I found somewhere on clearance for like $5.
