Found object. No idea why the raccoon is in a bag in the middle of the road. Looks like an inside job.

So, what do boys do? Jump it.

The shutter lag on a cell phone is brutal. I had to press the button while he was still off frame.

Near the end of a glorious ride from Stanford to HMB (Arastradero/Foothill Park, Huddart Park, Purissima). It was warmer on the coast side than the bay.

  2. Rock the racoon… (or Rocky Raccoon for that matter… a poor loser racoon whatsoever)

    "…Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
    He said "Danny boy, this is a showdown"
    But Daniel was hot – he drew first and shot
    And Rocky collapsed in the corner

    Now the doctor came in, stinking of gin
    And proceeded to lie on the table
    He said "Rocky you met your match"
    And Rocky said, "Doc its only a scratch"
    "And I’ll be better, I’ll be better Doc as soon as I am able…"

  3. You definitely don’t want to miss that landing!

  4. @Gi : Racoons know how to swing, and jump, and sing and go for a hell of a ride O=)

    "It was warmer on the coast side than the bay."
    Haha lucky you.
    Here we had our First Wave of Snow Particules =P

  5. Looks to be 30-40 miles each way …. up hill both ways! That’s a trek. My hat is off to you. Now, about that poor procyonid….. 😉

  6. Good rarity value and pleasant landscape.

  7. It’s an especially impressive hop on a full suspension frame. Always seems harder to get off the ground with all that squishiness going on. Kudos!

  8. Using a full suspension bike, it’s more of a bounce than a j-hop (BMX term).

  9. Sure, no point riding over it. Hopefully you had a proper burrial afterwards? As a secont thought, you probably brought a stuffed animal along and planted it there, that’s at least what I would do. But I loved it even if it is the real thing 🙂

  10. It is totally real. no photoshop or stuffed stunt doubles in my photos….

  11. …gives a whole new outlook on "buying the farm"

    ….same cost, but a few feet short.
