Wing Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Will Arnold is starting Uni there this year too, so you'll have at least one riding buddy, plus he's a BEAST. I'll point him towards his thread next time i speak to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxwellduryea Posted September 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Good news to me....A little bit about me...Im Maxwell Duryea. Im 21 years of age. I was born in Tijeras, NM. I got into trials when i was seventeen, did it for a year, got discouraged, came back at age 20, and been into it since. Lately i have been also doing a lot of fixed gear riding/trick riding as a cross trainer, and seems to be helping my trials. I have done every type of riding, had over 20 trials frames until i landed a Norco Moment. I got interested in photoG late 19years old, and been doing it aggressively since. I have a been a bike mechanic for the past three years, wrenching on all kinds of two-wheeled machines. Boring story, right? Ha. Here in New Mexico the trials scene (well the U.S. in general) is dying. I know one "pure" trials rider, two other urban riders, and myself in NM. Its itty-bitty. This is another factor that makes it hard to practice trials here; there is no one to ride with, to push you, to get feedback. I hope this changes in Swansea. Im looking to ride everyday or at the very least every other day while im there. Ill be arriving September 19th..finding a place to crash, move in the 22nd to the Student Village....ride the 23rd hopefully!If you guys are on myspace, check out my photography page and add me as a friend! I think there are a few of me riding (dated). myspace.com/maxdphotographyIll be shooting a ton during my stay, and look forward to riding/shooting with all of you. So how do i become a member? It would be really beneficial to be able to PM you guys, but seems ill have to wait! Ill be doing nothing but building my bike on the 20-22nd------if you guys get bored, hit me up. mduryea1@unm.edu. I would love to check out the town and get a tour of riding spots and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
