So who's down for atleast one trip to Highland this season?

Pretty certain PowBumps and Trev are game, 2knees says he won't go back as he too afraid he will kill himself next time. But I am pretty sure we can talk him into going. My riding buddy Jamie ( aka crazy trials guy)is also down and I think Austin also wants to go. Anyone else?

I'd guess around May for opening. Powbumps, 2knees and I went last year and had a blast. Really looking forward to getting back.

We are also going to have to do an AZ Lynn Woods ride. That place is Fg insane! Technical doesn't even begin to describe it.

Did Vietnam for the first time last fall, it was a blast. Though I could have done without falling off of a pretty high skinny and landing on my face. Thank god for full face helmets, I was assured by those present it was really funny. I plan on getting back there a couple times this year.

Try falling on your butt crack. The butt armor I picked up does look pretty gnarly though...

I just found out about this place on another forum and I've been out of biking for 15 years but this makes me consider getting back in. They don't operate as a ski hill in the winter, do they? I can't help but wonder if it is poachable?

lol, when you get launced 60 feet in the air by one of the hundreds of huge kickers laying around, you'll probably find your answer.

I'm in...

... I'm in all summer! I have been riding the place since before it was open by helping on work days. This place has brought my riding to a whole new level. Hellion is going to bigger and badder this year. While its not pow turns its not a bad substitute.

Got a card in the mail from Highland the other day. Opening on May 7th. They are opening an indoor training facility this summer. Looks like it has a foam pit.

I'm just here to point out the fact that you bailed on Sunday :p.




No really though, the sooner the better. I want time to heal up before ski season.

Where's the "knock on wood" smiley?
