Dude, is that Sam Hill? Is he coming to PA?

It'll be a rockin' good time. We're going to have lots of bikes to demo out. Not exactly sure what will be in the quiver yet, but there will for sure be Sundays for people to ride! Red Bull anyone?

As far as I know we won't be doing any clinics, due to the amount of people that will be there riding. It would just be too busy I think to do anything worth while.

We'll have sundays for all to ride though! Most likely some Kamicho's and maybe some 7 points, maybe some 6points as well. Not sure what the quiver will be holding, but it should be good!

I need some advice, if I was thinking of coming from Vancouver, what would the quickest/cheapest way be? The ferry to Port Angeles from Victoria is pretty pricy and it's pricy to get from Vancouver over there.... how much are the ferrys from the Edmonds to Kingston?

Just come down I-5 and take the Edmonds to Kingston ferry, its like 10 bucks or so for car and driver and 3 or 4 bucks for passengers. You also only pay for passengers going to Kingston, coming back to Edmonds passengers are free. After the ferry its just a little over an hour and your in P.A.

Yep, just check it. That's cheap! Cheaper than BC ferries by a long way. You may well see me there. I've heard a lot about the riding in PA and this is a good excuse to check it out.

Right... but just a heads up - over 7 feet high and they ding you with "overheight" which doubles the base rate. That is lame if you've got a roof rack. I think I've slipped through without paying the extra before, but it sucks when they enforce it.

Same with BC ferries, I'll stick the bike in the trunk for that drive, it'll cut down on the gas too.

Anyone go photo's of the trails so I can get my stoke on too?

Ehh, i can handle PA, even with being off the bike 5 months. its not like 38 where if you fall to you right you fall down a cliff. but there are a few skethc sections were if you do fall, your pretty F'ed
Sounds like you're not shredding enough gnar! Haha! Most of P.A. really isn't that bad. White knuckles could cause some hurt because you're going 35 most of the time. Limbo is pretty tame, though there's 2 or 3 spots where if you dont' make the turn, you're going way down the hill. Railage is sick, but has some parts that can be sketch if you're not used to tight turns down a steep face. Pro course can catch you off guard for sure. It's a sicks trail, but there are some sketch sections if you're not on your game. The goal of pro course is to clean the rock face drop to drop to off camber log to tight right to left turn over off camber roots to roll down... You know the one I mean!

P.A. is sick, and i can't wait to get back out there!

oh yea, thats with the like 2-3 foot drop, thats on a hairpin right turn right? if you dont turn as you drop off, see you about 50ft down the hill, haha. then the drop to drop after it definetly gets your blood goin, especially when wet or dusty! super fun, sketch, gnar section

I take 101 from Olympia because its a nice road, but the freeway to Tacoma and then cut over HWY 16 may be a little quicker?? If you come up the day before, check out the Red Lion for a room deal. Also there is a movie event/party the night before at the hotel. More to come.
