by Cbaron            forums.mtbr.com
Hello all,
Everyone is invited to come join the Hammerhead crew for the Austin launch of the new Thumper 130mm travel FS bike! This event will take place at the Thumper trail…of course! It will take place at the house of Bill, the trail’s founder, who’s backyard accesses the trail directly. There will be BBQ, beer and half a dozen Thumper demo bikes to ride on a pre-set short-loop on Thumper. Bill’s house is in a culdesac off Yaupon and it perfect for this kind of event. Feel free to bring the kids and the family, the backyard has a pool too. …

About half way through our ride, we do a turn around on Spillway Road. After a re-group, we continue the ride. However, on this ride, as I started my turn around, I hit some loose gravel. My front tire went out from beneath me and I landed on my…
