The trails are primarily mulched paths. This one time I almost rode into a puddle, it was scary!

mtnbiker66 05-28-08 03:40 AM

You still gonna make it this weekend?

cryptid01 05-28-08 08:15 AM

Yep, I'm a little busted up but I'll be there.

mtnbiker66 05-28-08 01:26 PM

Sweet, I just read Butch's post on RM and it sounds like its gonna be a fun place. I have lost your # please email it to me.

I picked up a Fox Transition DJ helmet. I was gonna get a FF but I will use the DJ helmet a lot more and it should do fine for my kind of riding.

Santiago, I would argue the point if it wasn't so funny and accurate. Thanks.

Booooooohoooooooo!!!!!! The new bike park had to push the grand opening back 2 weeks. I guess I'll just wait to lace up my gnarboots.

All the hip gnarboots use a ratchet system.

I just got in from Burnt. I was gonna get some good trail pics but I stacked it pretty bad early and forgot about taking more pic. They have put in a neat jump section early on the trail, but if you foot unclipps when you pop off the lip and you eat crap it's not so cool. So now my right shoulder is killiong me, my left arm,right hip,right leg and a few other places have a nice bit of trail rash.I had on my new Fox Transition helmet and I rode the Fox emblem on the front for about 10 feet. My glasses cut the bridge of my nose and I tried to bite my tounge off but other than that,I'm golden!The trail is a lot of fun but the changed the bottom and took out the big drop.

Only riding pic I got.........
