High Balls (aside from the alcoholic drink) are boulder problems that are high enough to cause serious injury but probably not death should a fall occur.<br /><br />-bp<br /><br /><!--QuoteBegin-Sleepy_Floyd+Sep 26 2005, 11:26 AM--><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><div class='genmed'><b>QUOTE(Sleepy_Floyd @ Sep 26 2005, 11:26 AM)</b></div></td></tr><tr><td class='quote'><!--QuoteEBegin--><!--QuoteBegin-c2bill+Sep 26 2005, 11:37 AM--><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><div class='genmed'><b>QUOTE(c2bill @ Sep 26 2005, 11:37 AM)</b></div></td></tr><tr><td class='quote'><!--QuoteEBegin-->[attachmentid=81]rock climbing (bouldering and high ball solo's specifically)<br /><br />-bp<br /><br />(my local climbing area - 5 minutes from my house - looking into my little valley below) <br /> </td></tr></table><br /><br />what's High Ball Soloing? sounds like a drinking game too me. <br /><br />awesome view, I wish I lived 5 minutes from a view like that.<br /><br />SF <br /> </td></tr></table><br />

Haven't you seen Loris Capirossi and Carlos Checa this weekend???<br />Strange, strange...<br /><br />Regarding me: Gimme back my ol' XT 600 (kickstarter version), and all you'll see will be my stern (on or off road! ). I've also owned: Gilera 50 enduro, Kawasaki KZ 400 '77, Honda Africa Twin 750 and actually Honda XBR 500 '89 (well, this really is my wife's bike ). <br />I love most European bikes, and when I'm grown up I suppose I will end up with a "Gummikuh" (rubbercow or BMW).<br />Meanwhile, I'm riding an old Alpinestar mountainbike: it doesen't hurt as much when you fall off, and it's cheaper, so I have some money left to spend on my kids (Eric 9, Robin 6 and Pol 4). This year Eric is starting canoeing and he's looking forward to cox for our CEU-rem master team. He ist the artist who copied the drawing on my profile from a calendar pic about 5 years ago.<br /><br />Until end of november, we will be preparing the San Sebastian marathon, so actually I run quite a lot.<br />Ah, and I forgot: sometimes I kinda like rowing on the water (mainly 2- with Polaco, but also 1x, 4-, 8+, and sometimes 2x with my wife Berta)<br />Erging is some kind of strange (and painful) side effect I will never really get used to , but which I'm not able to leave... (someone knows the feeling??)

That's what we call a "mud scooter" here in DK <br /><br />/Anna

I What on earth is this bike for, Mr. Triumphant? I think it'll be as uncomfy to ride on both roads and off road as it looks <br /><br />I'm glad I picked a motorbike from a company with style <br /><br />/Anna

I like to put a photo here but don't know how to do it. I use 'imageshack" and I like to put a small version here, but I only get big images. Anybody can help?<br /><br /><br />Hennie

My passion is snowmobiling!! I live in New England and ride the snowmobile trails in Maine and New Hampshire. It's a great sport. Erging keeps your hands and arms in great shape for holding on when you are ripping down a trail at 50 or 60 mph!! Of course, I can only snowmobile about 3 months a year. So, there's lots of time to train.<br /><br />
