Slightly have buyers remorse but whatever I’m sure it’ll be worth it. Managed to get this for a little under 7 Hundred and there’s not a speck on the lens so I’m super happy with it.

Been dreaming of a servo cam w a century lens since I was like 15

After many demo days and testing friends bikes, it's time to get rowdy on my first mountain bike. I'll be riding in Baltimore MD area.

The shoulder pads seems pretty uncomfortable so probably wont use those but hopefully I can get used to the back/chest protector.

For skiing? Honestly I could have used shoulder pads a couple of times when I crashed,

No for downhill biking. I hoped the shoulder pads would be more comfortable as its one of the most common injuries biking but I know if I keep them on I will just end up not using it at all.

Climbing membership at my local gym

Trying out for the youth comp team in September so I gotta grind

Don't worry, you'll "make" the team. The gym makes a significant amount of money off its team members. There is no chance the coaches will not take you. The gym owners wouldn't stand for it.

Just bought a one way ticket to France in October... anyone have any recommendations for where to go?

If you're flying into Paris, I would spend at least a week there... I used to be a hater, but my last trip was so epic. Then work your way to the mountains in the south east, the med is going to be pretty lame in October IMHO. Then work you way by train back east and hit up Spain and Portugal, weather will still be fairly decent.

Good for the gym for having that well-established of a base. I'm sure those who don't get on the competitive team will be told they have a lot of potential and need another year on the non-competitive team. Or the gym will field another competitive team. No chance they are letting that potential revenue slip away.
 
Mt Shasta season pass. Dude I talked with pulled me up in the file and told me last time I had a season pass was in 2006, about the time I moved away from the area. For $350 bucks even if i do move away come November I'll be back and get a couple days in. Supporting the home skiing community. Lol

Hyped to finally put an order in, lucky to have a nice hookup in the family, next up is a float pack I can get for pretty cheap. Checked my old beacon from the 90s I think, still can find and be found with this new one surprisingly. Wish I did this sooner cause cant really put either to use right now lol.

Dude. Get a new beacon. No joke. It might seem to work properly in your home in ideal conditions but that thing is outdated and the signal can drift over time. I would definitely not be comfortable going into the backcountry with a friend who, in the case of a burial, would be searching for me with a beacon like that. Even with new ones they say to replace them every 7 years or something like that because of signal drift. The new ones are also much more intuitive to use. You dont want to cheap out avy gear. Float packs are great and reduce chances of a burial but still will not stop blunt trauma from trees and should be considered a last resort. Are you planning on taking an avy 1 course?

Pretty sure he said this tracker 2 is his new purchase and he just tested it with his old one from the 90's. It's a perfectly fine beacon too.
