yup, that was me. glad i mooched some indoor sleepin on saturday then! you were one of the guys i briefly talked to sat AM, right?
I believe so. I was so damn tired that morning I can't remember exactly what I said. I think you mentioned looking for a job in Knoxville, but getting one in the DC area? But the first run on a dh bike in a year and a half being down lower hair ball woke me up quick.

Grand times.

We found Rickey's trail over on the basin side, it was my favorite over there. Then a few runs on the western side in the rain to show me what that place is normally like.

Do I have to give that bike back????

good meeting a bunch of ya out there. i was reminded again and again how small a world the mtb community is. i was also reminded how long it takes to walk from the bottom of the course to the shuttle bus after you've flatted at 5:30 pm :D

were the bears out on fri night or saturday night at silvercreek? i pulled in around 12:30 fri and passed out solid till 7:30. i didn't hear a thing.
Corey,

Man it was great to meat up with you again! We will have to make sure there is less time before our next meeting! I could talk the good old days of music and bikes for days!

That media release you had to sign was a friggin joke. I left when they pushed the time back to 2pm. Can't sell the photos anyhow so what does it matter.

aaaaaaaahh that was you! ok cool, yeah we waited til you went to sleep then drank beers and admired the industry nine wheels hahah...I cant believe the bear was outside of our tent, we were tucked in behind the rock piles right at the woods line...I was out drinking with Brungeman, Ray Petro (from the Park) and Joe Prisel all night...Joe sort of made it his mission to get me messed up calling me a rookie so i wouldnt have known the bear was chilling there anyway...
i saw ray with a taco'ed rear wheel on friday, did he get that fixed? i have been up to his park befor so i knew it was him on the gt it-1.

what time did you see him with a wheel problem? If it was him he must have gotten it straight, Friday afternoon he was rockin, Sat. he was like the "Energizer Bunny" and kept taking runs with me until I was completely spent, and by Sunday he was killin it!

PS. Ray doesn't sugar coat anything! I got the reaming from him Sunday for not riding flats, and not wearing pads... (at least he waited for me to get hurt, so we didn't have the whole "I TOLD YOU SO" dynamic going on!):rofl:

That was part of the media release form. Pretty damn restrictive one too. But I couldn't wait till 2 so I left. I had an 11 hour drive home.

You have to wait till december to submit any photos to other magazines or advertisers.
I'm not to worried about it, ill get some stuff out there when the time comes. I know it's kind of screwed up but it's a good event to shoot.

Charlie what camera are you using? Hopefully it's a point and shoot. If you like taking pics and don't want that blur you should invest in a SLR. I'm selling my Nikon N55 soon. It's what I started with, and I've surpassed that with my Canon 20D. Which is still not in my possesion. Damn them brother-in-laws.

No he is holding it off, waiting till after the baby he says. What a bunch of bull. I'm deciding if I need to buy a crappy junker first or a camera, I hate to say it but the car is looking more....yeah.
