My two 26-er hard tails. Bought the first one (polished swirled aluminum frame) back in 1999. And the Para-Trooper model (used by the 101st and 82nd) back in 2005. Both are full sized folders and full aluminum frames. I've added a few parts to fit my needs. Got a set of Fin-Grip Pros for the Para model so I can carry a bow or shotgun on the bars. Also have two sided pedals with flats on one side and SPDs on the other. Para has rapid fire 8 and the swirled has twist grip 8. Both are kinda dusty.

Those are awesome folding bikes. I’ve never seen one in person, but have seen them in videos. Too cool!

If you live in Arlington, and are looking for a newer trail to try out, DORBA is joining a trail steward in south Arlington at Red Kane park to help establish a 6 mile course. I rode the trail the other day and it had some good potential. A few technical areas, some good jumps/drops, but mostly a pretty flat and flowy trail.

Today I learned the art of the fall. I rode Oak Cliff Nature Preserve, and realized that I was a little too confident on some of my jumps and descents. That resulted in a few washout landings and a true-blue over-the-bars. Chock it up as a learning experience, be glad it wasn’t worse, and move on.
Note: Helmet, gloves, knee pads, and water bladder saved a lot of bumps and cuts. Bruises will definitely be there tomorrow.

Just picked up a brand new ride yesterday. My old Kona was going to cost more to fix it up than what it was worth so my wife said lets go ahead and get you a new one. Man did I luck out in the wife department!! Cant wait to start bombing down the trails in this badboy, and to start losing more weight!!
