jonnypoach and myself headed up do a little downhilling....got up around 11... Hit trail 2 (which is really great eastern that swings by the top of bear) for a few warm ups. Really fun riding that and flying over all the water bars. Next gondi ride..we bushwacked under the gondola past the canyon quad and headed into the woods to visit coopers (no they didnt blow it up) VERIFIED coops is still there...Headed down the lower part of ridge run and back to the gondi..


a little short vid....

A group of my friends and maybe Austin will be up there the weekend after next, hopefully. I've been riding there for eight years... if you want any good trail recommendations, let me know... but almost all the black diamond and double blacks afre freakin real sweet. There is some inside beta on the lower trails though, if you want to avoid riding uphill much.

Gotta rent the DH bike and full body armor on the next trip......my brakes are cooked...even my brand new tires took a beating...best to beat on their gear

What days are you going for? I should be in.

I think I'm going to get some armor and maybe a fullface before I go though so I don't kill myself. Will this lead to me getting made fun of the whole weekend and wishing I just went with getting hurt instead? :p

Edit: I just got your email. So never mind on that date thing. Yeah, I'm in.
