Here are a few pics from Jingle Cross yesterday and today. I'll try to set up an account somewhere to share more of them. As you can guess from looking at today's muddy pics, it was a blast!

The Infamous Mt. Krumpitt. This was Saturday's run-up.

A closer look.

The weather turned nasty for Sunday. This run-up was shorter than the big one on the other side of the mountain.

The real run-up was on the other side of the mountain. You can guess how hard it was after seeing this picture of the nasty descent.

A close up is definitely needed.

This is what greeted you at the bottom of the hill. There were some close calls as people buzzed by it. Myself included.

I have some video I'll try to link to also. The Grinch does a belly flop down the monster downhill and slides almost completely down it, a few moments later Todd Wells comes zooming by too

2008 Jingle Cross was one of the best so far. I have some pictures and videos up on my blog http://unattachedsnoop.blogspot.com/ as well.

would that happen to be a planet bike skinsuit?? dude was going so fast, i think getting a photo would have been nearly impossible.

actually, yes, that would have been a planet bike skinsuit

i like to use the term "sneaky fast"

"deceptively fast" works as well. sometimes you'll see a blur of white down course, then you'll look away, and a minute or so later you'll see it again, a little closer, and you'll think "holy crap how did he make it all the way around already? it looks like he's barely moved, but surely he couldn't be so slow as to have only gone that far since i last looked over there."

something like that.
