first ride

This is me on my Spot Longboard. It was our first ride together yesterday.

I think I'm just going to call him "Spot" until I ride him for a while and find a name that suits him.

Dynamo took these pics yesterday on the trail. Here I am coming down a hill...

And, here I am riding into the distance. Notice all of the big rocks. They are pretty cool looking.

Here I am going over a log (a little blurry).

Last trail pic.

And, when we got back to the parking lot a groundhog was chowing down on the grass outside the nature center. I snuck up slowly and hid behind the tree to snap some photos.

The ride was good. It felt good. We did a little over 6 miles. It's going to take a few rides to get Spot tweaked right, but the belt drive was pretty cool. It was quick to engage. The big 29 inch tires were awesome. I didn't even think about the roots on the trail because I knew I could go right over them. More to report after the weekend.
