Phil also lives in or near Salem and will make trips up to Portland
when he can.
You know what also is good though? Get your friends to ride, get their
friends to ride, form a club, get media attention. You should be able
to bring in a few more people who will actually stay with the sport.
Tell the bastards they arent truly bastards until they skip the wimpy
stuff and start with some trials. Cause only a real bastard can
pedalgrab a historical monument while anyone can ride a coker.

Yeah, he is the aforementioned other 1 of 2-in-2-million. I've ridden
with him a couple times and he is quite talented. But he's rarely
available and I can say with fair objectivity that I'm not really
challenged by his trials skills. Freestyle is certainly another matter
but is not a great interest of mine.

If Phil is Ducttape's friend then I did meet him once but like you say,
he lives in Salem. Not exactly convenient.
It would be great if more Bastards rode trials but with a majority of
them living the life of a working-parent, few posess the time needed to
really get into trials.
What I need is some college students (a demographic I like to pretend I
still fit into) to take up the sport...or as mentioned, move to Portland
if they already ride.

Just ride with bike trials guys. Most of the anti-uni stuff is just
online. As soon as they see it in person they're pretty chill about it.

Hey Jerrick - why don't you come out and join us on our next wimpy ride
next weekend. It's a short and flat 50 miler, a little training ride to
stay in shape between centuries over the coast range.

I live in Salem too. Phil has my number but never calls. That seems to
happen with unicyclists. Most tend to ride solo unless you seriously
harass them.

dude, I stopped at ducttapes house and spent the night on my way back
from NAUCC. I wish that I knew that you were in the area and I would
have stopped by for sure. I think you might be challenged by my
riding. I dunno though for sure. I will ride with you if you provide
a spot for me to stay and pay for half of my train ticket. ok. at
NAUCC trials competition I did 27/30 lines and got 4th place. sidehop
is 39 inches with 36 inches pretty consistent. I will "move" up there
for a week or so...
sounds good?
you can watch my video although its a little outdated.
its on my myspace page.

A 50 mile ride sounds pretty fun. I dont think ill be able to get down
there next weekend though.
I do plan to go down to Portland again soon, so ill let you guys and
Madison know when I come down.

Who do you mean moved to Eugene? I do trials and I'll be moving to
Eugene this Fall for college and I'm really hoping to find some
unicyclists there to ride with. I'm a lone rider in my town right now..
