Cute butt Cecil
looks like you were checkin it out too
was this from Butch's event?
Nah Chuck,
We all had stuff to do Sat. afternoon, so we had to get back early.
So this was an early morning ride.
These pics do not show the sweetness that is the Green's Lick trail.
Its like a 4 mile long high speed slalom course with banked corners
and a gazillion tables. I still can't believe it was built in Pisgah.
The hardest part is making sure that you are going slow enough to air out the jumps, because the trail is so damn fast you can end up speed jumping everything. Its a damn blast.

Green's Lick has nothing on what we did today Jeremy. Really sucks that you didn't come. We climbed Wayehutta once to the very back. Dropped in, which took about 25-30 minutes of descending total, then shuttled it once. The second run speed was retarded. You could fit every single hump, jump and turn into about 1/20th of the trail we did today. Unfricking real. I blew out a brand new bottom bracket. Eric (frznomad) dirt farmed it something like 6 different times.

One section in the middle of the last trail had a section of 4 massive 4-5 foot tall berms back to back to back. Oh man...wish more people could have experienced it.

Wayehutta is super fun Butch, but you can't say it kills Greens Lick. I do wish I could of made it, but I have way to much stuff going on with the baby and all. Hope you guys had fun....:cheers:

oh sure I can. Green's Lick isn't even close to it. You could stick all of Greens Lick into 1/10 of Wayehutta. And you haven't ridden there in almost 10 years. That ride we did back then SUCKED. Remember, we dropped off the Parkway on fire road descents for 45 minutes, popped out on a fire road...and did a SIX MILE climb on single ring DH bikes before we ever got to the entrance of Wayehutta. Alll of us, Herndon, Fred, you, me and Eddie...we were toast when we got to the top of Wayehutta.

There are maybe 8 berms at Green's Lick. There are countless ones at Wayehutta. The one section was almost as fun as the ones on Alpine at Diablo.

Don't get me wrong...I love Green's Lick. It's fantastic fun. It's here at my house. I can hit it on a Monday morning before work. The last two tabletops are shaped perfect. But Wayehutta is just silly. Not every MTB'er would like it. We had a diverse crew Saturday with guys on trail bikes with 6 inches, guys with hardtails, a 29'er and a couple guys with pure DH bikes and they all seemed to like it, except maybe the guy the ranger pulled and made put his seatbelt on.:brows:

Anyway...back to the pics. Jeremy matches...so well.

jeremy, I like you. dont make me do what i truly don't want to.
What? Post pics of you doing bow legged kickouts on a table top with no lip? Those pics were just taken from a trail ride man.
And if I knew who you were I would probaly like you too. I like at least knowing someone's first name before they give me $hit.
Then it is open season.:biggrin:
PM a brother.

I see you've got to meet my #1 stalker. Jeremy meet "Captain Taintmeat"
Good luck gettting him to identify himself. He just likes to get on, hate, then run. Oh, and he'll quote the old days and rides he did back then. That's about all you get out of him.

renegade,

Why is it that from your posts I picture you as a 14yr old kid. But in reality you are probably 25+ still making mom jokes?

Thread cleaned due to complaints.

Renegade999 - consider yourself warned. One more complaint and you get to take a RM vacation. This isn't the first complaint about you, and recently they have gone up. You may think you are funny, the butts of your jokes do not so knock it off.
