who is this obama cat i keep hearing about?

Sly Fox at 8:40am February 25
people think the pres, whoever it is has control, but he has little to no control. hes a puppet installed by the men behind the curtain, to look nice, shake hands and make people feel nice about the decisions he has no control over . the guys behind the curtain stealing all your money have the control, and tie his hands, he cant do anything. he just talks good and everyone likes him.

that's about as spot as i've heard. glad to hear not everyone is oblivious to the real "operation" going on here.

photo time with ali g

the cav doesnt mess around, i think boonen is washed up, its early and tommy is a classics rider so im sure he will do some crazy rides next month, but the cav is a pure sprinter and tommy boy cant hang with the speed so i say suck it.

spring fever is in the air, seems just like last week we were moto pacing up emigration, ali and tiff want some pain so i say BRING THE PAIN

i was bookin around on the mo ped yesterday with no gloves, it was like 60. and the snow is all melted out of the front yard which is north facing so to me thats a big deal.

sunday night i stopped by chipotle for a chicken burro, i started to worry when i walked up to the door and there was a big pile of puke no less than 10 feet out of the front door out on the sidewalk.

some one got sick, this is the first red flag not to eat at this particular establishment on this particular day.

anyway i proceeded to buy a burro, and stuff it down the pie hole. we went home and i was sick no less than 30min later, oh it was ugly.

the location of said establishment is chipotle 1400e fort union.

over past 36 hours i have thrown up no less than 7 times, i will leave it at that but i should have taken some pics as i have not thrown up since 24hrs moab 2001.

it was ugly

in search of bikeman

this is my weak attempt at a weekly post. the www has not been calling lately.



hes world famous

white line fever

frozen lake at snoqualmie

idaho truck stop.

get some.,..... errrrr

found

24 hrs drive time up to seattle and back, 10,987 miles 567,897 vertical, 4 days lots of parts and the fixie hippie types are more dirty and dramatic than the slc brethren. long dreds, dirty clothes, sitting out with the coffee in a rare sunny seattle winter day.

seattle has deep bike culture, its a way of life.

other cities similar to them are portland, san fran, denver, madison and nyc. but noticed less waist long dreds on the east coast. maybe its the tree hugger pac northwest feel.

bike swaps are sight to be seen first hand. the best ones are in denver, madison, t-town, tucson, san fran, cow palace, north bay-marin, or south bay cupertino, seattle. i go to these every year. some are held twice a year, spring and fall.

the slc swap is way smaller than these and features more buyers than sellers. the slc swap is good for me to unload some jerseys so i will be there selling high end jerseys i have over 400 items of clothing to sell there. its on march 7th at the slc county fairgrounds at 9 or 10am.

if youre in town stop by and check it out, they charge $5 to get in but if you come to my space i will give you $5 just for coming by.

but remember you have to come say hi and say give me $5 bucks and i will gladly kick it down.

no obligation to buy.

maybe team rico will show up with his wing in a sling

aldo nova

north bound white line fever

less than 48 hrs i'll be driving the man wagon up to sea town, 12 hrs 1 way. gotta connect with my roots.

anyway seems like the racing season is under way, lots of races all over pres. weekend. road and mtn.

most impressive i have seen so far is miss wallenfels with the solo 1 speed victory at old pueblo. that girl is hard core.

she did more laps than all the solo guys, and this year she didnt break her collar bone.

good job
time for some R&R.

dang thats impressive.
you wont catch me riding any where for 24 hrs. my new limit is 3 hrs. thats enough.

old pueblo results here

time for lunch

60 pound rice krispy

cheese brick

the meat ship

dedicated to the samurai.

i'll tell bart to pack this for you next trip up the wasatch summit

its sunday so go to church

self imposed joke

i've been getting emails from some readers about my parental advisory label on this blog. its kind of a joke, i think its mildly humorous.

i installed it myself, since there nothing bad on here any way.

im sure i can offend a few mormons here and there with swearing but thats about it.

so thanks for the input but i can take it off when ever i want

we hit up alta with 18" of fresh, its too cold here im going back to the beach.

turbo isnt going

i hope to be back next weds in time for iron mike tysons aka the nuge has the premier appearance on survivor next thurs. i should make it., so dont worry.

if any of you dont know this guy you should watch and see if he wins, cuz hes not telling. its about contracts and stuff. hes sworn to secrecy. any way i dont think he knows since the final prize is given live in a few months.

you cant miss the kid at the races, sometimes he goes to the snowbird hillclimb other times hes mixing it up with chris holley at sundance and soldier hollow, hes very handsome and very famous, well at least he hopes so.

maybe turbo will go to the pizza party, but i hear linde and kenny jones are. so thats a good time right there.

sitting on the beach all day is boring, good thing i brought the road bike, so we went out and ripped up the beach

i like the under dog but

i think arizona is going to get waxed today.

my predictions are always 90% wrong, thats why i dont bet on football anymore.

the easy way would to be to pick the team that i think will lose, then you will win.

so i like the under dogs, i hope arizona can win but i think they will get crushed today in tampa bay

call me vicente

we did the zip line tour and 200 foot rappel,

yesterday we took the aqua de motos out in the pacific and chased pelicans and sea lions

tuesday we went to todos santos and the hotel california.

tomorrow is the atv 4 wheelers in the desert/beach rip a thon.

i hope the snow melts by the time i get back.

when we go down to the outside restaurant for breakfast they say "whats your room number?"

its 2131, hola mr fox...

hola amigo, you can call me vicente.

im famous down here.

my middle name is danger --peligroso

this tunnel you have to swim to, its right near the arch, right through this tunnel you can swim to the arch but i didnt dare.

the waves rip through it

on this beach in playa grande, its on the pacific tip, its about 1/2 mile from this arch. its not accessible just to walk to. its seperated by ocean and cliffs that jet out into the ocean so you must wait till may or take a water taxi out.

there are big red signs on this beach not to swim. people die here all the time from the under tows are the worst in the baja. the beach is so steep the waves are big and the ocean will take you under and there you are with the fish, dead.

so anyway we swam out in the dead zone to get this pic. some old people saw us come around the cliff and they almost passed out. they were yelling at me and said i was stupid.

i said ya i already know that thanks, but see it can be done. they thought it was crazy but they are old and dont know about sly and how i roll.


this is the rock on the pic below on the far left, the big seal rock, the kayakers can paddle out from the main beach, its about 1/2 mile out.

this is the last piece of rock on the baja, you cant see them but the sea lions are out on the that lower part sun bathing.

heres a pic of the arch in may, every year for a few weeks the tides go out far enough to get on the tip of baja in the sand.

every other time of year its 10 feet under the ocean.

like this one

the big ass boat cant go close since its under 10 foot deep. come back in may and walk under the arch
there are condos within 1/2 mile up the beach where all the rich people live. were staying at a friends place with all the rich people and they want tips for everything. all the locals think if youre white and american, if youre here then you must be rich and they want to sell you everything and get tips for saying hola.

she crashed us, ship wrecked in mexico. good thing theres wifi


we took the buccaneer boat out to the arch

la playa grande cabo wabo

delta has direct flights to cabo from slc. thats pretty sweet. i have not been down here since dec 31st 2000, when me and bart rode down from san diego. we didnt ride the whole way but chippo didnt even make it 3 days. he went home cuz he couldnt hang with the kilojoules we were puttin out. back in 92, 93,94 i rode down here the whole way with a sag wagon. its around 1100 miles from san d to cabo. 1 road, old beat up paved road. lots of fish taco stands along the way. and lots of 100 mile sections with nothing.
its a good trip. you should try it.

but nowadays you have to skip riding through tj or you might get capped.



since i have long hair people randomly try to sell me drugs everywhere i go. i dont know if its for real or a joke. i cant believe how blatent drug dealers are. no wonder they get caught.

if you know alex rock hes in hawaii this week gettin hitched, wish him luck. seems he found a nice girl.
anyway his wifes parents hooked us up with this sweet condo on the beach of the pacific at the very tip of the baja. its way nice and they have wifi with cable.

what more can you ask for
wifi and cable, sun and blue skies with an option to head north on route 1 to la paz. i might get out and do some rides but im kind of busy workin on my tan, sleepin and gettin massages.

the whales are in view and we probably will take a tour boat out into the ocean tomorrow and spear some of them.

its been a tough day, i need to catch up on my beauty rest.

maybe i'll get some sweet pics tomorrow

mud?

it rained a bit down south, but you have to know where to go and where not to go.


if you dont want to ruin the trails or get muddy.





to the locals, i didnt ruin your trails. when i went on barrel, zen, green valley, jem, and VRRT. there was no mud. a few soft spots, a few small water holes. lots of open trail. i didnt pass one biker the whole 3 days.

thats amazing,


i dont understand it, maybe i was going so fast i just float over the top.

who knows, it will probably be sunny tomorrow and the water will dry up by tuesday.
nice timing.

i had to head out to catch a plane so i pointed the man wagon north and floored it.

the 3 step plan in is action

im on step 2 of 3 for the plan of death avoidance.

get out of the the salt lake valley.

went to alta tuesday to practice gs turns in the bumped out trees
then rode a snow trail in pc to see if i still had cat like skills. i do.
went to st george, stayin here til sat.
catch a plane to cabo sunday

whoever went to st george last week should come back, its still sunny and warm.


if you want to see how dirty the air is in slc go change your car air filter and see what youre breathing.

nasty

clear air

crackde333333

i went outside in the valley for a minute without a gas mask and didnt make it back to the house before i passed out.

they had to call the medic

so before i die, i have a 3 step plan.

im goin to alta today
st george tomorrow
baja sunday

by the time im back it will be feb and i will have a sweet tan and the air will be clear.

on the news they say stay inside, but the question is why is that better

its the same air, you have an open door to the toxic sludge, so your furnace has a filter. big deal, it doesnt work right.

they say on the news dont drive or light a fire.

do you think anyone really does this
no they dont give a rats ass

thats why there is this problem to begin with.

dont blame the weather

year after year the same problem, but it gets worse. everyone waits for the wind to come and blow the problem away.

no snow till next tuesday.
im outtttta death breath


















dv isnt deer valley, its darth vader

ho made pie

i like pie, and i like ho's.

td says its a i da ho pie shop.

if you live in salt lake you dont need to be told how bad the air sucks, and for the next week its getting worse. its already terrible so we went up to alta for a bit. its nice and clear, and packed, snow and people.

i dont really understand why they need to drive down the canyon in a big backed up line going 20 mph, the road is dry and its uncalled for. i want to ram them up rear like mizzy does best.

we'll go to pc tomorrow and rip dv. all day. sun up to sun down.

i dont want to be in the valley right now, st george sounds nice and i dont have a mtn bike so im not going down there.

cabo in a week, it cant come soon enough. im not riding in this crap air for 5 mins.

rip trail down south. you dont want to be up in this shit hole.

SUCK IT!

i like hores

sheep jumpin

ali g rips bc

last summer, of course.

happy cows are not in california

they are in wiscaaaansin.

we were up on the sears tower a few hours ago. just like ferris bueller. its on wacker street. i bet rod blagovich has on office on wacker street.


at 4am im getting up to drive to mad town, its a blizzard here and the 140 miles i hope wont take over 2 hrs. we got the prius, but the tires are bald.

nothin new there, i still can blaze it, no prob.

the happy cows are up north, they make cheese in the mid west, im going to pic up a dub of cheddar.

in case your wondering, thats a 20" wheel of cheese.

i like cheese,
do you like cheese

if you want some call me,

if you dont have my number,
too bad

its snowing a lot and the beach is windy and frozen so i wont be getting a tan here, but thats ok cuz were going to cabo in 2 weeks.

if you want to meet us down there go ahead, we have a spare bed.

everyone else i asked doesnt want to go, they all have lame excuses like

no money
i have to work
no passport
no time
busy training
allergic to sun
scared of getting killed by mexican mafia

dont be a crying wuss

busted up and beat down

i think i cracked some ribs today, stacking it hard a few times up at brighton with marky mark. its hard to breath and its not cuz its at 10,000 feet.

i chickened out on hard coin so we blazed thor, snake, crest and milly. then i had to go cuz i was blown

they opened up milly bowl today and i dont have the skills to rip that, so i watched them blaze the cork screw

this is moose, hes kind of fat and lazy.

he got this cable stuck on his mid section the other day. i had it rolled up and he crawled into it and then couldnt get it off so he just walked around with it on.

he was mad so he came and sat in front of me so i would help him.

i fell off the lift
