He is fast. That sweeper corner looked like it could have broke away from him at any time on the loose, sandy bits.

WTF, Over?

A pointer? Don't drive past the first yellow gate.

Please let me demonstrate the ride around; really it's no trouble.

Great stuff! I dig this day-trip-recollection format. Really cool. Plus, a track from one of the best rock records ever.

RIde. Eat. Repeat.

We hiked up on the first lap but didn't bother again.

why not? you can get higher pat the yellow gate and there is some more goods to be had up high.

I'm ignoring Smedley.

I love the chicanes on the higher up section, but the rest is meh. Did someone clear the rock fall above the yellow gate?

The trail keeps going up above the road to the 2500m summit of Mt Askom. We Heli-dropped it a few years ago giving a ~2200m descent. Unfortunately, it would need a lot of blowdown cleared to be rideable again

killer vid though, makes we want to head up!

Good vid.

The Scratch is an awesome bike. Very interested in how the Slash handles.

I don't think I took my camera, but Dan Barham was with us. He has a couple photos up on his website. http://www.danbarham.com/desktop-wallpapers/ photos 4,5 and 6 were taken on Della. I have more photos on my hard drive, but they were taken by Dan so I don't feel comfortable posting them.

Shirk from the board was there too, he might have some shots.
