Re: Newbie, got slip disc, is it prudent to attend burning m
Slipped discs (multiple): story of my adult life. I still go to Burning Man. Bring pills for the pain if needed and try to ride your bike for therapy.

I'm not sure if Gate and LEOs would like this...Oldguy wrote:Seriously, watch out for the rock-road once you turn off the pavement. The first mile or so is made of rocks...not gravel. It will shake the shit out of you, if you ain't careful. You might even have to walk in the first mile to save your spine...no joke.

I didn't think so...
*starts inventing a way to sit on balls and isolate from the jerking motion...*
You know, if you're going to sit on balls to isolate from the jerking motions, have Figjam or Yggy invent it for you. I'm just a fish, and if you let me do it, you'll end up on the floor gasping for air.

What you need to do is retrofit with one of these anatomic relief bicycle seats:clocksnmirrors wrote:theCryptofishist wrote:*starts inventing a way to sit on balls and isolate from the jerking motion...*

Ventilation too! Although I imagine a shirtcocker may end up with playa breaded cajones
Now why can't I get that insipid "Do your balls hang low...." tune out of my head?
