The Santa Cruz Chameleon finally showed up. Before I had the chance to plan my first ride I was contacted about a fundraiser for the Camp Fire victims. I was excited to hear about it and wanted to do what I could to pull people in. There were a ton of subscribers out there. I even signed my first jersey. That was super cool, but better yet it felt great to be part of trying to help some other people out.

Is your dropper too short? Are you looking for something new? Do you have a dropper that ryhmes with scam that just pisses you off? Well you have come to the right place, because those were the problems I was up against. PNW Components sent me their Bachelor 170mm dropper and the Loam Lever dropper button to see if they could fill the void in my life. This video takes you through the install and first ride in a little different manner than most review videos.

Have you ever had one of those rides that just got in your head? Maybe you weren't riding that bad but to you, it was just demoralizing. I felt like that for a decent part of this ride and this video was edited in a manner to capture that the best I could. I chose the music specifically to set that mood. I wanted to capture the way I was feeling and even though watching the footage I wasn’t horribly pathetic I really felt that way. My initial thought is this video will bomb because it’s not happy go lucky. We’ll see. Hopefully those of you that make it to the end will be inspired. I think we’ve all had rides like this and thought it would be unique to capture rather than pretend it doesn’t happen. Where was the last ride you had like this and what did you do to overcome it?

A lot of you have been asking since I started the channel how Moonlight Leatherfoot got his name. This is the story. As much as it may seem that it's been embellished, it has not. If anything I've forgotten some of the intricacies of the ride. As the ride started we went from completely annoyed to laughing about the whole situation. Sometimes things play out like that. At the end of the day riding bikes is about going out and having a good time. That mission was accomplished the original night, and the night we finally got around to filming the re-enactment. I hope you guys all enjoy this story, it's been one I've wanted to do for a long time. Nothing to see here JPG or PDF Moonlight Leatherfoot Coors Light Shirt
