that step up looks a bit long to clear but looks like a nice course

 

[Jayridesacove]

Yea, we had fun, even though it was our first time riding that course.

and the step up claimed it's share of victims also...like this girl, who cased it and went a** over teakettle.

Whats riding like @VT ?
You have anything simular?
I was parked by your truck; Let it be known that VT is HOTWING powered.....just look for the pile of HOTWING bones!

 

[MikeT]

hahaha... yea those were some leftovers from applebees from the night before

the riding at Tech is good. We have Brush Mt. close by which has good xc trails and a few decent dowhills. We don't have anything that is like the mountaincross course though

The street scene is really really good on campus... lots of stuff to do... no wallride though

speaking of wallrides, we spotted one at ETSU, on the side of their dome - freaking 20 feet high and like 100ft long ....it looked amazing, but of course it was still raining so we couldn't do anything about it

ahh damn, I didn't know that was you, lets touch base next time we see each other

Let it be known that VT is HOTWING powered

Much better than powerbars, but the wings come right behind the mighty clif bar.

That wallride is fun... ive done it on both bmx and mtb, it sticks like glue. Used to be a guy that could do a little double peg grind action on that rail that runs down the top of it.

Heres that wallride, i managed to snag a pic from the truck

between that wallride and the mtn x course ill be returning to ETSU for sure...

 

[Jayridesacove]

Too bad it kept raining, that wall was calling for us.

 

[Castle]

Dude that wall is calling for anyone with a bicycle, you could go forever up that thing, by the time you got to the bottom you'd be rolling that's dope!

 

[caboverpete]

Better hit it in the next few years... i hear that place has a date with the wrecking ball.

Great shots Jay. I'd like to see some video if anyone recorded some.
My 9 year old son killed the battery in my camera while I was practicing.:angry:
He was shredding the course on his BMX bike. I really wish I had footage.

 

[Mattoid]

I gota few lil' video clips of the pros, shoot me an IM and ill send them to you. My sn on AOL is Mattoid03.

edit: For the record Mattoid was powered by the hot wings, the techies wouldnt touch em for some reason

 

[Jayridesacove]

Wow, that was ur kid? He was roosting the course.
