EDIT: You can see his backflip in here somewhere, but I couldn't find the clip where he actually does the nofooter as well. It's out there somewhere

Good old hard rocks!
But they look like Glacially scoured Teritiary Basalts and Dolerite (Granites). Most of the younger rocks were pushed into the sea by succesive glaciation. So you would see very little to nothing like a lava flow in that area. The northern parts of Norway may have some young Geology but not much exposed. Those rocks you see are some of the oldest basement rocks exposed on earth. Very cool stuff IMO. They look like the flow but in actuality they are just scoured by glaciers to look like that. I can see faulting in them too. We have the same geology in Northern Canada (Newfoundland), the Adirondacks (they are called spines), and in Maine.....jdcamb
holy!...but I......I want to go......someone please......my bike...me.....there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's a "basement rock"? Neat explanation on the rocks. I've always had a fascination with geology.

No, it's real small. 5-6 races each year. everybody knows each other really well. No teams with vans and flashy clothes. Just enthusiasts spending all their money on travelling to the races and hooking up with friends. It's a real down to earth grassroots cup.
Is it a bit nipply there in the summer...???Originally posted by Espen

So the way it should be
That's awsome dude! 5-6 races isn't to shabby!
Summer can be good 70-90F, water 40-75max, but again, take a look at the map. It's far north. The "Gulf Stream"(Golfstrømmen) makes nice temperatures compared to other places on the same latitude.
Midnight sun far north is awsome!!! I was in Narvik last summer with incredibe weather and the sun is shining at 2 o'clock AM.

Best ride porn thread EVER.
.
I know what you mean about the summer times that far north. I lived for a year and a half about 1500 miles off the coast of Alaska in the Aleutian Islands back in the early 1980's.
It was a blast... midnight picinics and salmon fishing till 3AM.
Our temps ranged from mid 20'sF - 50F winter to summer.
Too bad there weren't mountain bikes back then.
Norway looks like it has some KICK ASS riding.
Sweet

THANK YOU!...that is some incredible riding with everything to offer...hot damn...not I know where I want to travel.
Thanks, nice stuff!
That sounds amazing man!Originally posted by N8

These trails start only 10 minutes on bike outside the Capitol
Hey! There's one of those in Michigan, too. :devil::devil:
