First time at carnagie
Slow04WRX great photo, haha most people wouldnt get it focused! Anyways i dont know if you know, but you should be using your front brakes like 75% of the time/percentage. I know its pretty common sense, but most new riders only use rear, and its a bad habit.
You never go to Sandhill Ranch? i think its off Vasco, ive never been there but they have everything! not really trails, but dual slalom, mtncross track, trials area, and motoX.
you mean that place with the short hill climbs right next to the freeway? ive always wanted to ride there, it reminds me of Crusty Demons of Dirt 1 type terrain, but a little easier.
And is it legal? whats up with the law there?

Any advice? I'm a little worried (only because I want to ride this weekend).....I took my handle off......there is a little piston basically for the brakes that the lever pushes in...........pushing it in with my hand it did nothing.........I inspected everything external and opened up master cylinder, had plenty of fluid etc.......and still nothing from the brakes....................
Do you think I could have busted my master cy. from impact? It's the only thing I can think of as the area around caliper etc.. and the line are all fine and looked fine...............(the impact was obvious right next to MC as it broke the lever in half) but I don't want to order a new MC when I don't need it .......................heh.....confusing enough?
heres a really crappy shot of the whole bike

maybe take your brake pads out and put them back in?
Take your front wheel off and check it out, just dont squeeze the lever unless something is in there against the pads.
maybe crack it open and see if squeezing the lever even causes the fluid to move or not.

San Jose and East Bay have tons of motoshops.
Cycle Gear has places in San Jose, as well as going North on 680 on the west side of the freeway in San Ramon.

I hate Carnegie even though it's about 10 minutes from my house. Busted my tube the last time I went there. Freakin rocks. It's not that bad when the crowd there is very small. Me and some friends have a place we always go riding that you can see from 205. If anyone is down to come riding in Tracy sometime let me know.

the unofficial place is on the opposite side of the freeway. I dont think youll ever be able to ride that track in the pic, since its someones backyard.
but the other place mentioned is off the freeway, i couldnt find it on googlemaps though. Its a bunch of quick 100 foot hill climbs, stuff to mess around on i guess
