Well, Jaysin, from what I heard, this might be the case. FYI, I'll be @ SilverStar on August 18th to August 20th, so if you guys are around, drop me a PM, so we can hook up. After all, I am a sucker for 'local knowledge'.

Happy trails

Up here at the mountain we are getting some nice cool weather which is perfect for riding. All of the snow has melted and the trails are great for riding. The trail crew has been working really hard and all of the trails are in great shape. Of particular notice is LTG formerly known as Pooh Corners. This year the trail is being transformed into a new trail riddled with skinnies and fun log rides. The latest feature to be completed is called Tequila Sunrise and it is super fun. It starts out with about a 6 inch bucked log for about 20 feet and merges into a boardwalk which takes to the first teeter tooter and onto more boardwalk until you get to the next teeter totter. This is a really flowy stunt and great for learning on with nothing getting too far off the ground. Check out some of the photos and definitely give this stunt a try when you

Just got down, another fantastic extended play night! Popped in 10 runs in 2 hours and beat the shit out of myself:)

Rode LTG, in which Steve and Frank built a super rad new log ride section! It's a super fun hit.

Get up here and ride ladies and gentlemen! We need nummmmbers!

Marvel and Squirrell, let's do some laps!

Hey Jay,

I would be delighted, but be easy on me, after all, courtesy of my research, I have not been on the bike for more than 6 months. Managing expectations, ey.

Happy trails

10 runs in 2 hours? You must have your own special super-fast lift that nobody else knows about to get those numbers! :D

ps -

that looks to be an uphill rise with a teeter and pseudo-coaster on it. Surely that isn't as uphill as it looks in the photo, right?

dear DW,
since you got like a million bucks now, can i borrow $2850 for a Revolt frame?

thanks,
steve

i'll be up there this weekend, not sure which day yet

australia was actually founded by criminals and its original purpose was for england to send over its criminals so the brits wouldnt have to deal with them in England, minding this was over 100 yrs ago.

We're coming up this weekend - keep an eye out for a blue DHR (me), a white Socom (Bighitter), and a couple other people on Demo 8s. Maybe Apeshape too??

Sean, I get airlifted to the top;)

And that teeter line is definitely not as "up" as it looks. LTG is a super fun trail
