4th of July- N* = Fun and Hot
How did everyone's 4th of July go? Hopefully safe?
Northstar was off the hook. Not crowded out all. Went up w/ two buddies in my car, then met a couple other buddies from the shop up there. Josh is now running Spangler's 07 Bullit, (sold his Prophet) and was ripping that all day. The trails were, SUPER loose, even w/ 2.5 Minions at like 35 PSI. Go too low in the berms, and your front tire washes out, and OTB! Crashed about a dozen times. Crapped the **** out of my pants on the double black diamond part of Karpiel! Walked most of it, some gnarly stuff for sure. All in all, it was very humbling. I went up there thinking I was alright at DH, but come back feeling like a little peon(?)

Went to stewart buffer zone with friend's dad, but it was rainy later that day after we got back. Single track is fun
