My lens only works on people that will be wearing lycra so I'm going to need Team SEI to suit up. :busted:

I ordered a SKINSUIT (with custom "dong hole") which should be here on Friday...........so I'll be rock'in it on opening day!!

Thats cool that you will be there with the camera Kenan! If you don't mind I might need to borrow a few pics. The boys over at FRS would like a full report about the new bike park and it would be cool to include some pics.

Hopefully a bunch of the FRS contingent from Florida will be making trips up to check out 26 West..............

I have graduation Saturday night, so I can't ride Saturday. I have orientation at Appalachian on Monday and Tuesday. Might try to ride Sunday.

What time do the lifts run?

I wish I could say I’ll be there this weekend. I planned a family vacation around the original date for opening weekend, so the rescheduling was a bummer for me. I’ll be chillen at the beach for the next two weekends, but I should be able to make it up to check things out sometime soon. Ya’ll have fun and I’m looking forward to seeing your photos Kenan.

You should dip out and ride DH on monday or tuesday!

Seriously though, orientation is a joke, you wouldn't have to try very hard to get out for a ride. If you're interested, I'm living in Boone still so PM me.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

I don't know man...Red Bull might get wind of my "talent" and then you'll be in trouble. :cupidarrow:
:biggrin: Really I'm looking forward to everyone's photos. I just can't wait to see what the place looks like. I know Ryan and all the others who volunteered have been working really hard at getting things put together. It will be a few weeks before i can even think about getting up there, so I'm a little anxious to see what I'll be missing out on.

Yep good times for sure. After the first run bottleneck things started to be pretty smooth.

Now for some details. The Garmin says ~300' of Elevation and the trails are .5 to .7 miles in length.

It started out a great day in WNC......


The red bull girls were there.......


Like I said, it took a little while to get started.....


but we got moving......


I'm crusing in after my first run......


There was a good vibe on the mountain....


the good Moorwood folks kept the shuttle hopping....


A few riding shots....




Gap session.....






But the day was cut short.......


and ended a little wet......
