I ran into Dexter out there, sorry I didnt get a chance to ride with him.

Weather was absolutely perfect. We got some light rain early in the week which set it up for tacky fast riding later on. Put a lil too much trust in my tires and found myself lowsiding a couple of times as things dried out... running too fast and too low on berms while trying to pass.

Here are some of the photos, as usual, the best jumps and lines were left undocumented.. .hard to pull in the brakes when you're having this much fun. Lots of off the bike action too, thank you Kokanee Gold.














This was the bike I got to break in finally:

awesome photos.. Keep them coming.. any injuries on that one bail out jump?
Thats my buddy Scott. He rolled his ankle and it bruised up bad. He couldnt walk after that.

But he could ride.... :busted: Hes normally really smooth... that was a no-footed can that went south.

So jealous, I need to get up there. Thanks for the pics. How was the totem on those trails? Ever hold you back when up on Garbanzo?

The Totem was great if you discount the fact it was leaking significant amounts of oil the whole time.:bonk: I dont mean that to come off as negative as it sounds... the fork rode great. I didnt miss a double crown at all.... If I lived near a chair lift it would have an 888 or a 40, but shes got to pedal to the top sometimes too....

i was there just about a month ago, but i'm already dying to get back, i can't believe how awesome the riding was. it makes everything where i live seem so boring, the only spots that are enjoyable to ride now are pacifica and santa cruz, both over 45 minutes away.
