Here’s a few pics from our Tulsa Freeriders group ride a couple weeks ago at Cavanal Hill in Poteau, Oklahoma. It is the ‘World’s Highest Hill’ with an elevation of 1999’, one foot shy of being a mountain. So far we’ve found 2 DH trails, although there is plenty of other jeep trails around that we can hit, we just need a couple GPS’s and some walkie talkies. The runs take ~30 minutes each, and the shuttle is paved the whole way to the top. Good times………………….good times

Here’s a few pics

The crew, Steve, Joe, Denis and me

Steve, on a nice drop we found at the end

So, if anyone is ever in Oklahoma, and wants to do some downhillin’, let me know, and we’ll hit it up. I could only make 4 runs that day because my arms got soooooo pumped I couldn’t grab the back brake anymore.

I think it was from the ledge about 10-12 feet above that kid in the blue shirt. XL drop I'd say.

 

[Cooter Brown]

nah, he's dropping the same ledge that the kid in the blue shirt is sitting on, ~10 foot drop

what does it look like from up top?

 

[Cooter Brown]

there's not enough tranny to jump from the top and gap that flat spot, it's about a 60* tranny from the ledge he's dropping off, and to be going fast enough to clear that from the top, you'd end up landing to almost flat at the bottom

 

[Jimmy_Pop]

damn, a tranny that is too steep. they are usually not steep enough.
I gotta come ride wiff you sometime.

I thought OK was 100% flat; now I realize it's only 99.9% flat. Learn something new every day.
