So you guys did go there! Seems like all had a great time. But damn that cement looks hard, I'd want a foam pit underneath me the whole time.

Call Ray's, they have a killer deal going with a Holiday Inn that's within a mile or so. We didn't know about it for this trip, but we'll definitely be using it next trip.

I took a singlespeed hardtail geared at 32-17. The only stuff I didn't feel comfortable with was the biggest drop on the expert course, and some of the steeper stuff in the expert course. It was perfect for the jumps and the sport course, which is where I spent the majority of my time :thumb:

kick ass to the max yo! extra kickass props to my heroes, the rippin' chicks. (maybe one of you will be so kind as to help me through my bridge and ladder fears at diablo this summer...specifically that off-camber one at the top of alpine.)

squid, looks like a solid 360 attempt. did you clean it? (...if landing in a foam pit can still be considered cleaning a move.)

nice piss'n'ride move echo.

:think: Gee Spot rides like the wind and I would never consider her a chicken $hit. I have learned quite a bit from riding with GeeSpot & Mtbkngrl. :thumb:
