66, is that first shot the infamous Pine Tree drop? It looks so small in that picture.
Glad to hear you're healing up.

It was Girlscouts fault.

Here's another perspective. The problem is that you're carrying ludicrous speed into the drop, and you end up landing in the corner.
Rider is mtb_rob_nc from the monkey:
On a bad note, Chris got jacked up hard out at the kudzu farm today - still haven't heard anything for sure, but he went to the ER and suspects it's a collarbone.

here's a couple more but it's still not the same as being there.. I was doing some tweaking on my shock today and with the speed I was going,the drop and turn felt as good as I've ever done it. I just pinned that turn it was gooood.

Went out for a ride on the trails by my house...basically just to work out any bugs of the recently put together Rockhopper.
The ride was warm (10C) but the trails were slick with mud and ice. And after not having ridden a HT with only 80mm of travel for almost a year, it was a bit of a change. No pictures from during the ride but here are a few after shots:
Me:
Simon:
Rockhopper:
All three were spotless at the start of the ride...

I wish I was riding there today rather than the same ole local stuff.

First MTB ride ever today. Sullivan Canyon in the Santa Monica Mountains using an old Rockhopper that I got for $100 off of the craigslist. Man, I had no idea that MTBs go so fast, super fun. Only one big fall.
