Slacker Slackliner: Timmy O’neill

So this is what a mountain bike ride with Timmy O’neill turns into. Slacklining across Boulder Creek after sundown. The low light conditions were a bit much for the pocket cam to handle, but the shots are fun anyway. This was after we ripped out a Betasso loop, which was noteworthy for me because it was the first time I’ve ridden the Canyon Link on my geared bike since the recent trail work, and consequently I cleaned the Link without dabs for the first time ever. Pretty cool, despite the rumor I heard that Travis Brown cleaned it on his singlespeed. Damn genetic freaks.

    Dude, my wife came within about 2 feet of cleaning the link. You’ve been drinking too much beer, Steve Z, if that _is_ your real name.

    How close have YOU gotten to cleaning it single, Mr. I’ve Ridden Nine Days In A Row? BTW, I TOLD you I see you EVERY time I go up the canyon!

    I always run outta gas about 20 feet from the top of the hard section on the single, but I’m getting in better shape now, so I’m guessing I’ll get it before the summer’s over. I’m also guessing Travis got it on his first attempt.

    Did Fuentes kick y’alls asses like he kicked mine?

    oh yeah, he was gone. As in, out of sight after the 2nd pitch.
