Burrito 03 · Jan 4, 2005

Sounds Awesome!!! I regretted not going to the get together last spring. Definetely want to check it out this Spring!

bibs · Jan 4, 2005

RAD, Ill be able to ride this time! Not just drive the shutle truck! YAYA!!!!!

two1 · Jan 4, 2005

Does anyone know if PA is any good? Just not sure if I wanna go or not.

bibs · Jan 4, 2005

its veeeery good, you should go!! You will love it

bigshred · Jan 4, 2005

PA is one of the better places in Washington that I have ridden, as far as haulin balls DH goes. I also hear those PA dudes have been doing some building...?

MUTOLI · Jan 5, 2005

We were out there a couple weeks ago and it was alot of fun. I checked out the expert/pro for the first time and there is alot of challanging things on it...but all in all a fun course. It's definetly an expert trail. They are talking about having a new Beg/sport course that they are building now! They also brought back the huge double...didn't get to see anyone hit it though! They have done alot of work out there and really deserve a pat on the back! Good job guys! :cool:

Can't wait to ride out there again!

How does it compare to some of the more extreme dh/freeride trails at Galbraith? And will there be any stunts or obstacles that will satisfy my bikes apetite? I have a custom Karpiel that I got from THE MAN himself...Joshua Bender.

bibs · Jan 5, 2005

yea, you will be fine, the expert course can test you. But hopefully you can back up the bikes powers

j/k

two1 · Jan 5, 2005

Cool, cause my bike likes to go HUGE!!!!!

two1 · Jan 5, 2005

Is this the same place where the Rotec Demo was?? I heard there was a Rotec Pro rider that was out there just ripping that place to pieces. I think his name is Evan or Ian Mutari or something like that. Is this place his training grounds? How does he rip so hard? I've heard alot about this Rotec Pro rider and am just curious if anybody knows anything about him. It is just so cool to have a rider of that caliber riding the same trail that us mere mortals get to.

bibs · Jan 5, 2005

Eathan, yup hes a ripper really nice guy too. Hes on the site, you may run into him , hes watching us....

He trains every where...its scary!!

No, I think you should just drive the shuttle!

This should be a good time. I will try my best to make it out there.

NO TEETH · Jan 6, 2005

Im from PA, and i suggest riding the expert trail. It really is just a great trail. Drop after drop and it is basically up to the rider to let go of the brakes and go for it. the beg trail is fast but not quite as fun. I have been hearing a lot about rotec being up there. Well hopefully i have encouraged a couple to go up that way b/c the riding is really great.

bibs · Jan 7, 2005

I thought it was??? Someone was telling me it was.....oh, well thanks alot now the Calli boi wont come paly with us, cause its not dry out..

bigshred · Jan 7, 2005

Sequim is in a rain shadow, thats about 15-20 miles away. Sequim, on average, only gets about 12-18 inches of rain a year I believe. I rode PA the day after Xmas and it was pretty dang wet, but still fast. The course is pretty rad, Id recomend it.

buildyourown · Jan 10, 2005

Sequim and PA are both in the rain shadow. Sequim more so.
They are both much drier than seattle.
These are real DH trails. Fast and reasonably tech. The white knuck is just technical enough to scare you if you go really fast, but mellow enough that beginners can get down it at slow speed.
The other trail is full on expert only.

As far as a great day of riding goes, this event will be hard to beat and worth the drive.

NO TEETH · Jan 10, 2005

If you are begginer still try out the expert trail when the races are not going. there is a really fun step up and just a solid trail. Its nothing too bad.

Buildyourown is right. I got word on this from a reliable source that has spent the majority of his life on the Olympic Penins.

NO TEETH · Jan 10, 2005

I lived my enitre life in sequim. I know all the trails and the people that built them so **** you all. oh an pa isn in the rain shadow bitches.

NO TEETH · Jan 10, 2005

Thought you lived on the peninsula your whole life and know everyone....shouldnt you already know the anwer to that??

NO TEETH · Jan 11, 2005

Probably not since I only made it to the mtx last year. If you doubt my residence look, I dont really know what to tell you, thats your deal i suppose. Weird that you would care.

They don't call it Dry Hill for nothing.........

NO TEETH · Jan 11, 2005

bibs · Jan 11, 2005

Personally I don't believe a true beginner would like that course (expert). There is too many drops into sharp corners...just my own opinion.
