Dirtvert coined this phrase today and I thought it was brilliant. What is Second Hand Stoke? It's the stoke you get from someone else's stoke.

IE, Dan (aka d-bug) rolled up to Emma today as we (Dirtvert aka Doug and I) rolled up sporting a brand new Ibis Ripley...maiden voyage; first dirt run and we all headed out together. Dude was killing it! Ripping up and down all the many treasures there about and his stokage was contagious, I tell you what! Man, I dig Second Hand Stoke! Like showing someone a new trail or being there for a first ride on a sick new machine or building a kick ass new trail to share with your buds or seeing someone hit a wicked jump/stunt for the first time. That's when rides become really, really good. Today's ride...really, really good.

Second Hand Stoke...dig it man. Nice one Dirtvert!

Some time's second hand stoke is better than first hand.

I have to admit the Second Hand Stoke™ was more of a Contact Stoke™ for me, since you guys were generally far ahead on the trail. But it was a sweet ride on a perfect day! Thanks, fellas.

For anybody else looking to get the Stoke 411™, look for d-bug in his Stokezilla™ kit and his big blue Ripley on a trail near you. Or you can probably find squashyo working on the new Stoke Flow Trail™ at Demo.
