The last time Judy and went to Joe’s Valley, we weren’t able to spend enough time there. There’s so much good bouldering at Joe’s that several more trips there were easily justified. And the last two times we were in Moab, we didn’t get to ride the famous Porcupine Rim trail. A return trip to both destinations for some good bouldering and mountain biking was long overdue. Since St. George was on the way (Judy and I drove to Utah from Orange County after my mom’s funeral), we decided to meet up with Ryan and take a short detour to ride the very fun Gooseberry Mesa trail again.

Although we did run into some inclement weather, we generally had nice, sunny weather for the majority of the trip. During our rainy day in Moab, we killed time by enjoying the all-around preferred Moab pastime of… bowling! Ryan, Judy, and I set out on a mission to prove that a career with the PBA was unlikely to be in our futures. We were unquestionably successful in fulfilling our mission.

Our new Garmin Nuvi 350 GPS proved to be handy. It did a pretty good job in helping us find places, although it did direct us one time to a residential house in St. George when we were looking for a place to eat. We assumed the GPS screwed up although we didn’t knock on the door to check if they actually served food. On several other occasions, however, the GPS successfully directed us to good restaurants seemingly in the middle of nowhere.

Armed with a new 4GB high-speed SD memory card, I was prepared to take lots of video, and that’s what I did. The videos range from so-so to pretty lame because, guess what, we’re not really that good at what we like to do.

Fortunately, Ryan was not content with regular, boring videos and wanted more. He wanted to spice things up and make things a bit more exciting for RohJuh.com’s visitors. While on the Porcupine Rim trail with Judy, Gary, Jake, and myself, Ryan consented to be filmed while performing one of his many magnificent acts of riding prowess. We are very pleased to be able to bring RohJuh.com’s visitors raw and unedited footage of the most spectacular stunt EVER to be shown on the site. Believe you me, this is one video that you definitely don’t want to miss.

Disclaimer: Kids, teens, and adults, the stunt you are about to see was performed by a highly-untrained, semi-experienced, non-professional rider under not very controlled conditions. Nevertheless, please do not try this at home.

If that doesn’t whet your appetite, I’m not sure what will so enough with the foreplay and on to the pics and vids! Please note that Quicktime 7 is required for viewing all videos.
