Even further back
This picture explains why there are so many women in the pictures below. Two words: bike jumping skills.
I lifeguarded during the summer of 2001 and spent my spare evenings practicing mid-air bicycle tricks. Keep smilin', because, yes, that IS me. You can even check my references at Lifesaving.net.

Shocks ... pegs ... 5 meter high-dive ... luckyyy!!!
Oh. My. Word.
You are *inSANE*!
I'll show this to Braden tomorrow. He loves jumping off the high dives, but that particular one scares him. Wait until he sees you biking off of it!
mad skills, my friend. mad skills.
you have such a special place in my heart paul bedore...well at least the picture of you posing with my musical ballerina and wearing my red sweater does :)
...and you were able to get 30 girls at a time because it was valentines day and we were all desperate. ...or maybe it's because you have such an amazing heart for god...i'll let you decide :P
What kind of bike do you have? Is it a Sledgehammer? Dang! You got quick release, carbon fork, and a gel saddle ... Lucky! You ever take it off any sweet jumps?
Well, you have a sweet bike. And you're really good at hooking up with chicks. Plus you're like the only guy at school who has a chestache when brewing Sweaty Belgian Ale.
You gotta learn to discipline your image. You think I got where I am today because I dressed like Peanut Butter in those pictures?
Yea, that's right - chestache.
I recommend Chia Chest for a fuller mane and more Belgians in your Ale.
I'm pretty speechless at this picture. I believe the word I can't describe goes beyond "skills." Heck, it even goes beyond "mad skills."
In NY, the slang word for chick-picking-up-abilities is "skillz." This is differentiated from mad skills, like acrobatics and underwater bike riding. And don't even ask about "hooking up."
Chest/leg hair is an interesting topic. It gives me a glimpse of what cleavage must do to guys. lol, I never thought I'd say that out loud. Let alone to the internet.
As prompted by NYC and j9, I'll most definently have a future post discussing chesthair, including some tasteful pictures.
Cover up, man!
We need more decent pictures like this one!
"bike jumping skills" is 3 words
Who's counting?
Decency? Pray for cold weather.
Atleast Dan doesn't complain. I did DDR in spandex today, it was ... sweaty.
"Decency? Pray for cold weather." What ever happened to modesty?
It's funny how Christian women's showcase of their sexy bodies is seen as cheap and immodest, likely to "cause a brother to stumble," and neglecting to "save themselves for marriage." Meanwhile, Christian men's parallel acts are trivialized as funny, or praised as glorifying God for His blessings. But sisters are no less inclined to the sinful desires of the flesh. Or at least I'll speak for myself.

I do pray for cold weather. I like cold weather. I'd rather feel cool than hot. And I would like to learn to snowboard and ski. Plus, I prefer Sweaty Belgian Ale with less sweat in it. When are we bottling and practicing salsa?
I'm not complaining. I was encouraging you (and me) to be modest & aware. While nearly naked men don't bother me, you, or Dan (apparently), it might affect others. I need to be aware too and think before I post a link to your chestache.
Thanks for honesty j9, I know I and much of 5000c reading public appreciate it. Men don't often think about tempting women with indecent displays of their own body. We complain often enough about the cultural norms "allowing" women to wear whatever they please. Sometimes this is also the case in the Church, where I, we, often don't link the soul with the body. Is this a result of dispensationalism?
Maybe mark_5 can offer some insight on male decency. He's been cycling, in spandex I think, for a while. While I may joke about it, I'm not out to put my body on display. But, again, me don't think about this part of holiness as often as we should.
*we (many men in the church) - in that last sentence
Good comment, Mark_5. If you cast the status quo onto all of my postings, my past messages can be misconstrued. I'll continue to give the readers insight into my background so that your conclusions are drawn from a wholistic context.
I'll tell you right now, though, I'm not a first century Jew obsessed with Torah.
Actually, all of the women in the pictures below are very Godly women who have greatly impacted my life. I don't mean to trivealize the purpose behind our friendship by making some jokingly reference to Napolean Dynamite. These women have pushed me toward Christ and helped me see the centrality of Jesus Christ in my relationships.
Great conversation, everyone. Men's modesty is a very interesting concept, especially in light of the ongoing theme of "gals like guys with mad skills." Thanks, Paul, for letting us use you and your spandex as a discussion prompt for inquiry into Christian gender stereotypes. I hope you don't take this too personally. As Christians, I think it's oftentimes hard to find the boundaries between honesty, modesty, and lots of fun!:) :) Have a wonderful day
