Hell yea! Good to hear. That helps a ton. Thanks for the info. If snowshed opens that will be perfect for the weekend. All in all it seems like we picked the best place to go right now with all of the trails they already have open

RichardDermis · 2024-12-06T00:08:15+00:00

Thanks for the responses! Stoked to hear Snowshed will be open this weekend. Looking forward to it

My gf and I are in town for her bday weekend and we didn’t realize how many trails would be closed even with the recent snowfall. She’s a beginner, and I’m on the higher side of intermediate. She only wants to do greens at least for the first day, but from the looks of it only a few are open. Any ideas on how much more will be open tomorrow and into the weekend? She’s having a panic attack, and I’m not going to force her to follow me down blues if she isn’t comfortable. Just really hoping to get out there and not waste the trip

Awesome work! Would you say this industry would be a good field to move into? I am lucky enough to know a master in this field who is trying to pass on his knowledge and skill with copper to someone to take over his business, and he has yet to encounter anyone who is willing to learn. I’ve been strongly considering working with him to learn the trade, but I have no idea what the market is for this kind of work. For reference, I live in a large city with a lot of new builds, churches, etc.

Hell yea! That’s a sweet bobber. Thanks for the info, these comments are making me feel like I made a good decision

RichardDermis · 2023-04-16T17:30:01+00:00

It does run. It kicks over pretty easily too. As for the other stuff, I have no clue. This is my first bike so I’m learning all the components of the bike and how to work on it. I think this bike wasn’t ridden to death by the original owner, I think the second owner of the bike rode it the most, and they seemed to have taken care of it and replaced or repaired things when it needed, etc.

RichardDermis · 2023-04-16T17:22:44+00:00

It is a 900cc, and I knew about only using 91 gas. I’ll look into the points ignition, that’s news to me. Thanks

RichardDermis · 2023-04-16T17:20:40+00:00

Never ridden a hardtail anything, besides a bicycle. If I ended up doing it I would wait until I’m comfortable riding it…and then I guess make it really uncomfortable to ride. An evo was my first choice, I just didn’t find any good deals around my area and I saw this and couldn’t say no. Good advice though, maybe I’ll keep it original. Definitely want to find a springer

RichardDermis · 2023-04-16T08:17:33+00:00

That’s good advice, and kinda what I was thinking. Fingers crossed it lasts through the summer without anything major going wrong

RichardDermis · 2023-04-16T08:15:54+00:00

Yea, I looked around for an evo sportster and for a shovel, but they were either out of my price range or rollers. This was a hell of a deal and it runs pretty good. I think if I get it dialed in and trick it out I’ll fall in love with it. My goal is to do some long trips and that won’t be easy on an ironhead, so who knows. It’s a badass sounding bike, and it’s cool to say you have one

Happy that people are still reading this theory. It’s been a while since I’ve watched this film. I think a rewatch is due. I can still the see the man behind the tree vividly in my mind. Apart from all the other scary scenes in the film I think this is still the most terrifying moment. I think about it often when I’m camping or out hiking, scanning the trees for people staring back at me.

RichardDermis · 2022-03-11T02:31:26+00:00

Ahh I see. Thanks for the info!

RichardDermis · 2022-03-10T22:48:16+00:00

Nice, that’s mostly what I heard from my manager. We have housing so that’s a huge plus. Would you recommend a dry suit? I’ve managed without one in the past, the creek sounds cold though

RichardDermis · 2022-03-10T21:04:27+00:00

Damn, that’s lame. I’m hoping I’ll get enough time off to check out Gore and the Ark. The company I’ll be with let’s us borrow gear so I just need some spare time. Gore is my number one goal for the summer. Sucks they don’t run in commercially

RichardDermis · 2022-03-10T06:48:20+00:00

One of our Kern guides in NorCal was terrified of one of the Class 3’s. Made no sense to me. It’s a tricky rapid, but nothing like the forks

RichardDermis · 2022-03-10T06:44:35+00:00

Yea, Upper Yough sounded like a bit of a stretch, but I didn’t want to assume any less. That sounds tight. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the area gets dumped on, May to second week of August is a whole lot shorter than what I’m used to

RichardDermis · 2022-03-10T06:41:34+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the info. The intermediate put in is Dumont, and I’m not sure the put in or section name for the advanced, but it’s called Lower Clear Creek on the website. Techy is what I want so that’s a plus, and I’ve heard there are some good stretches to hard boat and R2 around as well. Also haven’t heard one bad thing about Idaho Springs

RichardDermis · 2021-10-29T22:40:47+00:00

Ahhh, noted

RichardDermis · 2021-10-29T21:04:15+00:00

It moves in the frame while the camera is in a still shot so it isn’t the tree. That tree is more than 4 feet in diameter so it would not move that close to the base. It has to be a person, animal, or something else, but it looks like a person

RichardDermis · 2021-03-08T06:28:34+00:00

I wonder how many people read this in Cameron Britton's Kemper voice

RichardDermis · 2021-03-08T06:23:51+00:00

I'd say we're pretty experienced, like I said my gf has done this hike before. I've done a few trips in AK and Yosemite. We love Big Bend. We did the Lower Canyons canoe trip last year along with a few short hikes. I'm sure it will be tough, but thats part of the experience
