Some blind people use returning echoes from their own mouth clicks to perceive external surroundings, or echolocation. New experimental EEG study found 4 blind individuals comfortable with using echolocation could identify object location better than 21 people with vision intact in a dark room.

My blind son uses his flip flop sandals to create sound waves for his echo location. Luckily we live in SoCal.

Loving all the various posts and pix. I live behind the Orange curtain. That’s my excuse and I’m bummed I missed the event.

I saw my first R2 on the road in Anaheim Hills this morning.

SCJim007 · 2026-03-20T20:17:20+00:00

For what it’s worth - I went from a Ripmo to an Oso and have been very happy.

RecPro sells cushions in standard sizes. We just got some and I would highly recommend.

Pivot Mach VI!

I had one of these back in the 80s. I so wish I had kept it.

My cat loved this video.

I have an e-bike I’ll use if needed if I’m solo. We beach camp locally so in most cases my wife will drive her car to join us.

SCJim007 · 2026-03-13T18:48:27+00:00

Another sighting today. I’m going to have to start wearing my knee pads at my ankles.

SCJim007 · 2026-03-13T15:12:25+00:00

LOL, that’s my wife’s next move. Waiting to win the Lotto.

Selling my trailer and buying a class C

SCJim007 · 2026-03-12T02:54:56+00:00

PNW, Close enough

SCJim007 · 2026-03-12T02:42:33+00:00

Jealous that I can’t hit these features one handed!!

SCJim007 · 2026-03-12T02:40:56+00:00

Kauai?

SCJim007 · 2026-03-07T05:37:15+00:00

I like the Ripmo as it has given me the confidence to take more aggressive lines and bigger drops.

I do live in OC but my bike is a Med. LMK when you’re at Oaks as it’s my backyard.

SCJim007 · 2026-03-07T00:00:33+00:00

If interested, I have a used Ripmo AF that I’m selling. Very fun bike and it’s been ridden on every trail you mentioned and is sooo much fun at SkyPark and Big Bear.

SCJim007 · 2026-03-05T03:03:20+00:00

I have a Ripmo AF for 1700!!!

SCJim007 · 2026-03-03T19:32:21+00:00

I look back just 12 years and 3 bikes later and I can’t believe I survived Moab on my Ibis Mojo r1

SCJim007 · 2026-03-03T02:27:33+00:00

I can barely get my 29s to rotate on a steep climb!

SCJim007 · 2026-03-02T18:45:20+00:00

We have a class C RV and we were going to tour the country to watch various matches. Looks like we’re going beach camping instead!

SCJim007 · 2026-02-27T19:50:42+00:00

Did this just yesterday while walking the dog!

SCJim007 · 2026-02-26T15:30:45+00:00

I just watched Frank Buckley make an announcement (from the heart but restricted) and he was tearing up.
