Newsletter Invitation



Let's start by saying that Kanker is a term that originated three years ago when I, Barella, we met at the Mill and Superdino Pasquilio to create the now famous, PFP (Free Pasquilio Park). During these meetings, where pouring our energies on the routes (in the first place and all the "stop"), was born That period was directed to the structures that we make. Jumps, catwalks, and more that were built with everything that nature gave us and not quite to perfection (Kanker Park).
Yesterday, after so many years since I saw mill and Superdino, we stood to make a thunderbolt, and rode on this occasion I felt Kanker is a philosophy and to say what it was enough to see the bike Superdino (one On One 456) fitted with all the pieces at his disposal but making it functional for half the use to which they are concerned, but there was just this during the day and if you follow this story you will understand.

I sveglio alle 8.00 ed in modalità zombie mi dirigo in cucina per prepararmi la colazione e quando raggiungo la meta vedo una cosa allucinante. Una miriade di formiche si sono impadronite del pavimento e del seggiolone di Arturo; mi appresto quindi ad eliminarle il più possibile, ma non riesco a toglierle dagli anfratti che ci sono nella seduta (posto di comando ) del mio boss e preso dalla disperazione decido di mettere in terrazza questo ingombrante mobile. Il tempo passa inesorabilmente e quando mi accorgo che sono in ritardo ormai è tardi :-), ma come al solito non sono l'unico.
Superdino ci comunica via telefono che Macinino sta arrivando e tra breve li vedremo comparire dall'incrocio; proprio at this juncture a chat with the Electrical and three shady characters who are with him (during the ascent to the Folgorito find out that there are two policemen).
finally arrived and off we go.
grinder comes with a full freeride beautiful and weighs more than all single crown, but I'm pretty happy with his choice because my physical condition and are not at the top to keep him company are more than willing to get off and walk . PS: The three strangers realize that if they're behind us come home late, so, without even saying goodbye, pulled straight to the goal.
reached the vicinity of a house and Superdino stops to make water supply and appears here kanker first kit of the day: a bag of water that is stuck in your backpack after coverage through a Nylon bag, looking back now, however, say that's not a bad idea. grinder on the other hand is devoid of any type of container for water, while I, I have not as clean as it should be the bag are provided with a bottle of / 2 liters. The climb
runs slow and calm (for me and Mill) and occasionally I'll see cars pass by (Pick-up) full of bikes. My partner (the Electric and Superdino took off) told me of his outings with mechanized lift with Lorenzo Bridge and his skill in cycling, but not I must say this especially because the Master is the Master.
reaching the point where part of our descent, we wear the protections in our possession and we do accompany the boys in recent years have become the new Folgorito the locals and that, moreover, have committed ; to create new lines. The descent
lungo la sassaia miete la prima vittima. Superdino infatti buca la ruota posteriore e qui ecco di nuovo la kanker filosofia. Partiamo con il dire che la gomma posteriore ha una spalla talmente dura che non riesce a farla uscire dal cerchio, ma per fortuna ha con se vari tipi di cava-fascioni tra cui uno che non mi sembra convenzionale. Si tratta infatti, come mi spiega lui, di una L in ferro usata come spessore per i componenti della cucina e poi c'è la camera d'aria bucata che è già pluridecorata da toppini che viene rimbalzata tra lui e Macinino quando uno dei due rimane senza.
Finita la riparazione si riparte e raggiungiamo una nuova variante. Il ground is very slippery because of ice that is melting (I do not remember a similar situation even during a full day of rain) and when we see a walkway in front of you turn right for the variant, but the ground and does not take wrong path leading to tamponade. We stopped to assess and decide to try this drop, but before doing so we must go is the hardest thing. The first word that comes from the mouth of Mill is, "but kanker is a jump? "no, the structure is good with nice wooden tables and thick landing descent. The first to try it I am, but arrive short run due to poor and so they date back to try again. Macinino Party and close properly, the test (and I was hit) and also the electric comes a little too short, but close only after that do not can keep the bike up because of the mud and goes straight to the curve in support, I'm back at the second attempt and the speed is right, I land, but like my predecessor, I can not keep the vehicle and slide.
We move further and yet another jump and this time there are no problems for anyone (PS: we avoid some jumps because the fund is too slippery), but in return the locals have abandoned us and the rest of the descent will be the "classic" Folgorito now is much faster than once because of work that have been made for the acquedottto.
conclude the tour and I'm happy the day I think about Folgorito was, as it was and it is now with the work that made these new loclas and I say we return willingly. I think also to my desire to change his bike and I remember the kanker philosophy that makes the bike a practical way to turn, maybe a little weird if you think of some solutions that are used, but the important thing is logical because fun (Superdino: look, however, to adjust the rear brake!).
