Rad! Those are some great snaps. Reminds me of living and riding in Seattle BITD. Ok... Maybe not that intense.

Refresh my memory. When were you here and where did you ride?
Cheers,

I am sure we crossed paths at some time. There just wasn't that big of a community riding those trails on bicycles back then. At least not until later towards the 90's.

...guess i started hitting it pretty hard when Mt Bike Spec was open in a little shop next to R&E down from the Knarr Bar. Later they moved around the corner into the basement shop. I had a couple friends that worked there that I raced with. Used to do some little races at BCC. I used to have Dave Levy do custom stems and stuff for me when he had a shop downtown under Post alley. Then he opened a bigger shop behind U Village on the Burke Gillman. A friend of mine worked at the little bike shop on Mercer Island... then I found the rock at UW and started rock climbing more, and more...

I worked at Fiorini Sports in the Village and got to know Dave around 96.
He built my first Ti Cross frame.
It is always nice when you can work out a trade for stuff.
