They had success turning Johnny into likeable in Cobra Kai. So, this could work, no?

Its been a while since I've played. I'll need to sharpen my skills again because this will kill my mods. But it will be worth it.

I bought my son one of these when Covid first hit and everybody was buying bikes, but luckily Dick's had some in the store.
It has held up well. Would buy another.
This is good to know. Thanks for the input.
I know conventional wisdom says to not upgrade entry level bikes, but I think I'm putting him some entry level hydraulic brakes (I can get Shimano MT200s for like $50) and maybe a more modern 1x drivetrain, if he likes it.
Not trying to turn this into a cheap MTB upgrade thread, so I'll stop at that.
Thanks to everyone for the trail suggestions. I have looked at most of these places (outside of the Hot Springs suggestion) and would like to try to hit them over time.

I wonder if UL, McNeese or LSU start having aerospace programs for students?
UL has bene launching satellites into space for years as student projects.
I would imagine all Louisiana universities will start something that will attempt to feed talent to SpaceX.
Pretty good speech so far. Not what I expected.

You can start at the East Kincaid boat launch, get on the lakeshore trail, head south and get some beautiful trail riding in. Trail crosses a couple roads that you can take to Messina rd and back to the beginning.
This is good to know. The Kincaid trails seem long. We would need to build to these longer rides. Thanks for the info.
Sorry for dipping on this thread. Had a couple crazy days at work.
Thanks for all of the suggestions and the maps!

Thanks for the link. These look about my speed.

What is weird though is that IMO it wasn't that bad of a deal. Sure, you paid a lot for the CDs after the initial deal, but it wasn't like they were massively overpriced or anything.
Fair.
But they did send them out to an 11 year old, so there's that. What did they expect?
I probably still owe them money.

Chicot State park has some cool trails. I've only hiked them but I feel like I have seen bikes.
This I did not know. I will look into it.
I see a downvote. Would the downvoter tell me why? It may be helpful.

Bogue chitto state park has a really nice mountain bike trail setup.
Yea, we have watched some videos, especially the pump track. My kid is interested in these for sure.
Thanks for the link. I knew Alexandria had a few, but just starting out, some of these seem a bit intimidating. Especially the distance on some. I will look for some shorter loops to get a feel. We'll work up to longer stuff.

I just bought my son a cheap mountain bike (Nishiki Colorado) to get him started on some single track trail riding. We are in Lafayette and have done Acadian Park a couple of times. Those are ok. I have an entry level hybrid/gravel bike (Trek Dual Sport 1). Does anyone know of any easy trails (can have jumps, but need bypasses) or gravel/hard dirt routes I can take him on nearby? I'm willing to travel to LC, Alexandria, and BR if needed. I have looked on AllTrails, but this list can feel old, and have incomplete data at times. Thanks!

re: What industries do Louisianians actually want to boost our economy?
Posted by SaintEB on 8/3/26 at 7:15 pm to ragincajun03
So many people complaining about politicians. Rightfully so. They have been what was keeping industry out. Well, now, industry is trying to come here. Politicians are probably getting something but they are still coming. Why complain? Better paying jobs are coming. The developments are coming. Housing is coming. Its like you want it but at your terms (not you ragincajun, just the general "you"). Guess what, you are not bringing "your" industry here. You can't choose what billion dollar industry comes. So many misguided here.

Then let them pay for it. Do not pass this onto the existing residents
I get what you are saying, I do. But no company in its right mind will contribute somewhere to the tune of 3 billion dollars to generation plants and still have to pay a power bill. I just don't see it happening. Not to mention, if they are not using all of it, the generation company can sell the capacity on the market and make money. This is just not how business works. Now, there can be a middle ground where they pay some contribution and they get a good rate that helps them long term. Thus, the 20 year contracts. There is a way to do this and keep native load ratepayers safe. Like you, I do not trust IOUs and independent power providers to not look out for the investors.
