Thanks for the comment on my Boston Terrier vid. I see you're into downhill - nice! What kind or rig are you riding? The "Suicide Trail" vid you subscribed to I've ridden twice. It's a pretty crazy trail! First time I did it on an xc bike when I was first starting out, then I was loaned a demo downhill bike and road with some semi-pros. Have ridden it? I just sold my xc bike but am planning on getting another one soon.
@Jaebird82 yeah i got into dh about 6 months ago... i have a 06 morewood shova with 07 marzocchi 888 forks and marzocchi rear shock... i've done Suicide twice too... it was fun... long and steep hike but way fun on the downhill... two of the trails you see on my videos were just shut down but they were awesome trails to ride...
@carspidey nice. Yeah, the hike was a pain in the a@#, especially if you want to do more than one run in the heat (which we did). I couldn't clear most sections, but at least I tried. Lol. Did you do that drop? I didn't have the balls at the time. Im debating on whether to go DH or XC for my next rig, or maybe all mountain (like the Specialized Enduro). Not sure yet, but I need to get back out there. Gotta get back in shape!
@carspidey If you haven't ridden Chantry Flats (I think it's Upper Winter Creek to Lower Winter Creek), that's some nice single track. Not really down hill riding, more xc, but it's fun. twisty single track, lots of switch backs, meandering a creek, through dense forest and a few little drops. Lots of logs, etc.
Does take a lot of time!I have a BT that is obsessed with his Kong (and sticks).He eats them too on hikes and carries them around.Put "Can Small Dogs Rule? YES!" in the search to see his 'bee vid. =)
@Jaebird82 when he goes out for walks or when he goes to that little corner (shown in video) to play with her... i teach him to fetch but then my wife goes out with him and plays tag with him...
@carspidey Lol! Sounds like your wife is ruining it for you. But, they rule, and you kind of just gotta go along with it. As for the sticks and plants, same. He definitely eats plants when he has an upset stomach.I try to stop him though because i dont know what's poisonous or safe. he'll dive for sticks when he's swimming. Check out my vid when you can, youll be surprised how high a little dog can jump and how athletic Boston Terriers can be if you spend enough time with them. =)
@Jaebird82 Snickers will also chew, eat and carry sticks around all the time... and he loves pinecones and there is this one thing he likes but i don't know the name of it... it's also a plant...
@Jaebird82 Snickers (we used to call HIM snicker (no s)) is a boy... :D he never really learned how to catch the frisbee in the air... and i did not have the time to teach him anymore (work and the park is not that close to us)... he does know how to fetch tennis balls and other things... the thing he likes to fetch the most are sticks... he's go this thing for eating them... glad you liked the video... i may post more vidoes of him to show you how big he is gotten...

@Jaebird82 like she'll throw the toy for him to get it and when he does she chases after him saying "give me the toy" so now he runs with it... lol

@Jaebird82 and because of that sometimes he is really confused and he doesn't (or can't really) learn you know?...
Sorry for the multiple replies... :D
