So they're not using stoned/drunk 16 year old juvenile delinquents as lift operators anymore?

And a buddy of mine did some camera work out of a helicopter over Platty one time and said that the wind currents coming up/over that mountain were insane. Horrible crosswinds and wind coming up/over were pushing the copter down when they tried to get too close... That lift operator is insane.

Crazy guy was working the lift Saturday with a shaky start getting the bike on the lift.

Yes, still using the stoners. Now they have just added a flying Indian stoner.

Classic liftie lines:

(on race day from on top) "Maaan, those bike just keep COMING! Whew!"

and

(day 2 of liftie job, wrists taped, shaking like a fiend): "Send me up a breakfast sandwich and a monster energy STAT!"

did he jump out of the tree??
He crashed about 300' into the trees at the end of the camping lot just past the stream and about 40' up a tree. By the time we got down there he was climbing down the same tree he crashed into. But let me say one thing about Paul he is a great guy that is very courteous to all the riders ,I'm just glad he was not hurt.
