And using their Wiccan powers they held the little woman high up in the air, and grew her a beard.

i have a hardtail frame now that is slowly amassing parts. soon enough i will be rolling again. the frame is more suited to urban/dirtjumping and will be a singlespeed but i will still take it out in the woods.

Well, this trail is like a 2 mile + long MTX course with berms, jumps, even a couple of tabletops. Its weird that it is in Pisgah. No rocks or roots, smooth as glass.
Its a climb though, it starts right before the old Betty Heinous trail.

Cool shots. I climbed somewhere in Alabama one but now I don't remember where it was. Is Rocktown in Al? It might have been rocktown.

This one looks familiar is why I ask:

Yes, it makes no sense.
Me and Motomike rode it on Saturday.
He loved it, and I rode the whole thing going, I can't believe this is in Pisgah. Its fast and flowy as well. We got snowed on for the 3 + hour ride out there, but it was awesome. I can't wait to go back when its dry.:)
The trail was built properly as well, and it HAD to be machine built. Its too smooth. Plus, you will not have to worry about a bunch of people screwing it up, because not a ton of people are willing to climb that far.

Is it mapped yet? We were thinking about going up there in the next couple of weeks.
