We loaded up and headed out on a Sunday morning with Kaden ready to try out his new CRF70 (with an 80cc kit) that Santa brought him last year.  He just grew up past his crf50 and was super excited to be able to keep up with the 450′s.  Pretty soon this kid will be outriding all of us!

Out of the hours of awesome video I collected, there were a couple great shots that really took the cake.  One incident I just happened to catch by accident.  We were gearing up for a ride, and everyone was on their bikes waiting for Jeff to get ready so we could roll out.  I had luckily happened to fire up the camera a few minutes before, and was just waiting to get riding.  I heard Jeff fire up his YZ250 and heard the two stroke whining like a little bitch.  Next thing I know I hear the the thing redlining, and the bike comes flying into my peripheral vision and then right in front of me, almost hitting Aaron who was just sitting on his CRF450R.  Don’t ask me how I managed to get this awesome incident on video, but luckily I did (and in full 1080p glory!).   Check this out:

This is why god made HD cameras!

Before we started riding, the guys were ripping on me for getting a camera.  Saying that since my crash at Gorman a year or so ago, I was a huge pussy, and  I just needed the camera to prove it.  I said thats exactly why I got the camera, so I could document all of my crashes.  I later came to regret that joke, because I seriously ended up using it to record my crashes.

Evan and I passed a group of FJ’s who were wheeling on some of the trails, and came to the top of a pretty steep mountain.  We began creeping down the steep side, and that’s when disaster struck.  I hit a soft patch of dirt and loose gravel and went straight down, jackknifing the front wheel.  To make matters even worse, the kill switch on my 2004 CRF450R had been shorting out, and causing the bike not to start.  So I had the kill switch unplugged so the bike would run.  However when I fell, the bike fell on me, pinning my right knee and foot down under the bike, with no way to move.  It took a good while to turn around and get the kill swith plugged in so I could stop the bike, and then luckily Evan was able to come back up and pull it off me.

Anyway, check out how stupid I am…

I can’t believe the shady shit that Sirius pulled on me.  Again. It blows me away that this shitbox company can stay in business.  Just the fact that they were supposed to be commercial free radio and now I spend more time listening to ridiculous erectile dysfunction ads than I do Howard Stern says enough about the company.  Not to mention their horribly inadequate customer support.  I don’t think I’ve ever been so offended by someone than I was with the piece of work I spoke to today.

Despite the fact that my account was set to NOT auto-renew, as usual they charged me yesterday for $83.76.  Full price for 6 months of their shitty service.  When I called in to find out why they were charging me, I spoke to the rudest bitch imagineable.  She repeated over and over that they always auto-renew and that I must be lying because no one would allow me to have an account that doesn’t auto renew.  I explained that I had them send me an invoice, and I paid a one-time payment through my debit card.  I did not consent to have my card kept on-file, and was assured that my account would not auto-renew because they wouldn’t have any credit card on file for me.  Well, I was young and naieve because of course, Sirius ripped me off and auto-charged me for $83.26.

Now for the good part…

I finally get her to cancel my account (I can just call in and set up another promotional rate with a new account for like $20 for 6 months).  She puts me on hold for an hour, and finally comes back ready to cancel.  She then lets me know that she is only able to refund $82.78 of the $83.26 that they charged me.  She said the other $.48 they will be keeping.  I ask why – they were able to charge me the full amount, and I want the full amount refunded.  She explains (?) that she can only refund in whole dollar amounts.  I explain that she is already refunding $82.78, so that clearly is not the case.  I’m laughing at this point, because it’s only $.48 and I don’t really care about it – but its the principle of the matter.  Why would I give this corporation $.48 of my hard earned money?  She tells me that I should be grateful I’m getting any money back, as its my responsibility to call and cancel my account, and they don’t owe me anything.  She then says that if I care so much and want my $.48 that I should call corporate, and then hangs up on me.

Would you be offended if a Sirius customer support rep insinuated that you are cheap?  I am.  I’ve already launched my twitter offensive and hope that I can get someone over there to actually give a shit about their customers.  I’m sure they won’t care – as I’m just one disgruntled listener, right…who cares?
