beniflas 6 Posted May 14, 2015 Went out to McCain last week on Friday, got a little wet but that's a small price to pay for some great riding conditions. We got out there about 9am rode till 1pm..it was sprinkling/drizzle most of the time. As soon as we left the sun started coming out and the rain pretty much stopped. Oh well. This is what the horizon looked like the evening before. Pic was taken looking west from Jacumba. Got to make some fresh tracks. And here's the pain...

bikeslut 1 Posted May 15, 2015 The boulder is what usually knocks the rider off...looking down at the line and the granite fist gives you a bump Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulmbowers 236 Posted May 15, 2015 The boulder is what usually knocks the rider off...looking down at the line and the granite fist gives you a bump I did my best to move that boulder a few inches to the right by hurling my body at it with great speed, using the technique as described. I'm nearly certain I was successful. The force of which was, when my bike finally landed, creating a parallelogram out of the nice square-cornered rectangle that was my left Fastway footpeg.

paulmbowers 236 Posted May 15, 2015 there's one explanation Just pointing out that Beniflas had received the benefit of my efforts. Had I not moved the rock previously, he'd have had a much more tragic crash. On video. I'm a hero. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertaccio 408 Posted May 15, 2015 I haven't crashed there but I sure have scrubbed off some speed with my right shoulder in an ugly form off that thing. If I ride past it now I usually do the handlebar push with bike in middle and upper body off to left, lessons learned from hitting immovable obstacles. Oh yea and never ever look at the immovable object, it creates a sort of gravitational or magnetic force that just pulls you into it!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
