Yah, Sat conditions were damn near perfect. Sunday however was diff. It rained all day up until the Sport class starting doing their runs, so us noobs who ran after were blessed with a chance to charge w/o the showers. Course was super slippery in some spots but it was still flippin fun, and dirty.

Bullcrew got 4th, even with a spill from showboating for the photogs. Edgy once again hit the podium as he has each and every race. Big Al (Holletanium) bagged 6th and a pretty trophy in our Z class. Oh, and I landed on the podium with a first place finish in the semi-pro XC. I also got offered a sponsorship from Luna but I declined.
Slammed the dome and shoulder, body checked a big (very big) rock and unearthed it and sent it rolling.
I had an area for a tail whip all set and then it went haywire right there.
Lets put it this way I dont really recal the rider who was in the course right before. I only remembered when foesnasty said something about it. Then I kind of remembered him. :D
Outa 15+ riders Im happy!

I moved to Sierra Madre a couple months ago. I have push/rode the Mt Wilson main trail, but heard there were "better" (less sketchy trails). Figured somebody in this thread could point me in the right direction.

For DH/FR stuff I ride a Rocky Mountain Switch that I have at just under 40lbs and a Santa Cruz Blur LT that just needs Cranks and a front derailur.

dude, we think you rude for so many other reasons. that is why we like you :D
LMAO!
Im not rude just misunderstood! :monkeydance:

Custom coat in Lewiston, Ron owns it but the guy working for him is a PC god! Flawless work, and precise as far as even coats and no runs or shaded areas due to lack of material. (hugh variety of colors as well as the chromatics)
Aside of that I dont know, Id send my stuff to him for 2 reasons, 1 I get good deals and 2 I trust it will look phenominal when I get it back!

BTW:MD thats a funny dude, he makes this little white kid wax cars "on, Off" after school! :D

i think the long side is fine (or as "fine" as it's always been), but I'd expect more of a possibility of running into a ranger now that they're patrolling the area more diligently.

sunday could be a pain in the ass going east for us on the west side and central parts of LA. the marathon route could be a problem. not a major stop, just something to consider.

I may be able to find out about a DH trail that we can hit on Sunday in the Westside. I'll report back with my findings for those interested.

Hows about the intense trail, kovarik, JD, and a few of the other pros have been riding it lately and built some hips and other stuff. Its steep and fun.
Trust me when I say the intense trail is a DH trail!!! Bring full face and possibly gear its steep and fun, chock full'o'danger! :D:D:D:D
Easy to shuttle and could get multiple runs in as well as SJT if anyone wants to pedal or little nasty by my house as well. (apparently a certain white toy p/u has been in my neighborhood at a house down the street with a blue bike in it :D Ahem: Kovarik! ahem:) They or the guy in my neighborhood is the jump fairy that Ive been talking about whos building really sweet jumps on the trail! I knew it wasnt some kid!!!!!
