You hang dead dogs up! for everyone to see?

Jedi don't you think seeing that, might confuse and distract people? ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Jedi, that's part of who you are as a rider, take it down and have it made into a coat rack or a lamp or something useful ๐Ÿ˜€

It must be my age, but that woodowork looks hideous.
Total respect to those that have the nads to ride that kind of stuff.

And RIP that frame. I bet it has some tales to tell. ๐Ÿ™‚

I'd ride that, but not clipped in. Do people do it that way?

To be honest I'm amazed it lasted as long as it did. Isn't that the one that you didn't quite land a quarry drop on?
