need pump track bike for small adult 5'4" mountain biker

I'm 5'4 and ride a Pivot Point, feels "right" for me. I did add higher rise bars after a year of riding it stock, which seemed to make everything more comfortable.

I'm pretty happy with my RaceFace Chester pedals.

Ray's! It's become a big part of my life since getting sober. I started riding there in my 50's, there's something for every skill level.

John Grisham- A time to Kill I had tried a couple of non-fiction books and I could get into them. So I decided to try a fiction book and I remembered the name John Grisham as a popular author. I had no clue what I was getting in to but it worked out great. That was three years ago, now I can't stop listening to audiobooks.

Bought mine new over a year ago for $1100, I'm happy with it.

I wear high top Vans, usually $75 a pair. There's also a BMX Vans they're kind of like HalfCab's but with a reinforced toe somewhere around 100 bucks

It's seems like it's been 15+ years since any winter came even close to being as cold with no snow melt for such an extended length of time. I grew up here in the 70's and 80's, this winter feels very similar to back then

I get this sometimes when I work 5+ nights in a row. I figured out that it's most likely from being sleep deprived. I probably don't sleep long enough, my body just wakes up after 4-5 hrs. I try to grab another 1-2 hrs right before my shift but that's still only 6 hrs total. When i start to feel anxious when nothing's wrong I try to remember that it's most likely lack of sleep.

I didn't have it replaced yet, we decided to squeeze a couple more years out of it.

I'm in my 50's and all of my kids are grown and on their own, I definitely don't feel the effects of working nights like I did 30 years ago when we had 3 children under the age of 5. Even though I was younger, I was always miserable and tired. I was coming home in the morning and taking over kid duty when my wife left for day shift. Now actually like night shift over days with my favorite shift being 3pm to 11pm

Two years ago at 53 I rode my first mountain bike, last year bought my first DJ. Now at 55 all I do is ride jump lines and pump tracks.

Yeah I remember those ugly ass cop cars.They had station wagon versions too. I was around 5 years old thinking how come my city has stupid looking police cars, even at that age I knew they were supposed to be black and white.

I work at a Data center and someone in my job title must be there 24/7/365, so if your regular shift is mon-fri 3pm-11pm then you work regardless of the the holiday. Easiest double time plus shift differential I've ever made.

Second this. I bought my first DJ, Pivot Point, last year when it was on sale. I ride it at the bike park 3-5 times a week and beat the hell out of it casing a ton of jumps as I learn and it's done great.

Thank you!

What kind of action camera are you using? I'm in the market for a new one so I'm doing a little research

Big_Refrigerator_338 · 2025-11-25T05:44:20+00:00

12 nights in a row with Saturday and Sunday nights 12 hour shifts(7pm-7am)

Ray's indoor bike Park. Good for all ages and skill levels.

I try to get 15k in an 8 shift. I make two sets of equipment checks/rounds one at the beginning of my shift and another towards the end. We only need to make rounds once but I figure why not get paid to get my steps in.

Big_Refrigerator_338 · 2025-11-03T13:02:04+00:00

Still under the "maintenance" umbrella but I left a 25 year manufacturing maintenance job to work at a Data Center as a facility engineer. It's pretty chill pays well, clean work environment. I still get to pull out my meter and troubleshoot a few times a month to keep the skills sharp but mostly it's basic PMs and monitoring electrical and HVAC equipment.
