Beacon Hill- some weren't so lucky
Unfortunately for Tyler Gilsdorf, his weekend ended on a pretty sour note with a broken wrist. But look on the bright side, at least his unhappy moment was well-captured by a bevy of photographers and filmers:
Here's some more pictures of my nose case to near-death:
And just remember folks, all of these pictures on this post are screen captures from this fine video from last weekend:
Also, enjoy lots of good riding, and my crash all over again at 1:09 in this video from Mark Brent over at bonesovermetal.com

Dialed whip
This picture is real - not doctored in any way - and was taken by a Transportation Supervisor for a company that delivers building materials for 84 Lumber. When he saw it in the parking lot of IHOP, he went to buy a camera to take pictures.
The car is still running, as can be witnessed by the exhaust.
The driver finally came back after the police were called, and was found crouched behind the rear of the car, attempting to cut the twine around the load!
Luckily, the police stopped him and had the load removed.
The materials were loaded at Home Depot. Their store manager said they made the customer sign a waiver.
While the plywood and 2X4's are fairly obvious, what you can't see is the back seat, which contains (are you ready for this?)
10 bags of concrete @ 80 lbs. each.

My weekend in a nutshell
I went up to Spokane this weekend with our local Giant rep, Paul Lacava for the beacon Hill Double Down Hoe Down race. Ben Tobin aka Caveman hosted us at his pumptrackaliscious house, and snapped a few pictures as can be seen below. I'd never been to Beacon Hill before. It was also my first race in my new, custom Splat Designs TLD helmet. Moreover, my new Evil was amazing on course. Really good bike. It was a pretty sweet weekend, but I'll let the pictures do the talking:
The Good (check out the sweet helmet):
The Bad (yeah, that's actually a 15 foot drop. I was stoked to ride out out of that one):
And the Ugly (yeah, I fell forever down that hill. I was stoked to walk out of that one):
The last photo in that sequence was also the last photo ever taken of my totally sweet helemt in one piece. The visor, unfortunately, has bitten the dust. But we at Team Robot will be doing a visor fix-em-up how-to special very soon, so expect to see that visor alive and kicking at a race near you.

Fun=this video
Dialed jumps? No.
Dialed riding? No.
Fun? Yes. Prepare for jumps that were not built perfectly, or maybe even correctly, and for riders that do not stomp every trick. Prepare for radness:

Fan mail
After three years of making your human lives worse, I have the pleasure to announce the first Team Robot fan site:
Teamrobotsucks.blogspot.com
Because that site will only be updated when i do something retarded or lame, you should be able to expect regular updates, so check back regularly.
Thanks Phil.
In other news, Phil is still really good at one-footers:
And he's good at raking, too:

Valentine's day
It took a while to arrive, but I finally got my valentine's day present in the mail. Check it out:
Last weekend we road-tripped down south to Bend to escape the winter. It was 68 degrees and sunny and dry and dusty. It was basically summer. If you missed out, your name might be Eric Loney, but you should definitely be bummed.
I've been told that name dropping on blogs is in bad form, so instead of brashly name dropping, I'll just let you know the meat of it:
1. Somebody's hand
2. Somebody's else toilet
Add those together, and you've got a sweet weekend in Bend!
