So Chico, does that mean Nate bought the stealhead from you then?Are you the one that put the 8 thousand coats of paint on it?Haha.And yea we saw the rangers on Hwy 9 having a little meeting earlier in the day so i thought something might be up.Time to make the state some money for Christmas, since us Mt. bikers dont already dump millions into the economy as it is!
I gave it to him do build it up cause he was broke...haha guess that did happen.
I put one coat on top of it when I bought it from a girl I know who said her brother gave it to her...So I figure he was the painter...I made it that maroon color and it was like glow in the dark or some weird ****.
Jim,
What time were you on Z's on Sunday? I was out there and www.ihatebikes.net was shooting photos.
I was out there around 2 PM or so. Saw a bunch of people, and a bunch of cameras. That's what I mean, it was a circus. 
Well, actually my buddy had a camera too and was taking pics on the ladder drop, so I guess I can't complain...

Nice, man.
What are you riding these days?
I haven't seen you since you were riding a Bullit and since I was on my SGS.

Hmm, you must not have seen me for a looong time, because I never rode a Bullit. I'm on an old-skool Enduro, or a Demo 9. Here's a pic from the ladder drop:

Anyone wanna go shoot some pics at Z's this weekend? Finally got my light kit assembled.
It's a pacifica weekend for Kelly and I
Anyone down for Demo next weekend?Sat or sun 20th or 21st?
Ahhh man! I thought you were someone else this whole time! LOL!Hmm, you must not have seen me for a looong time, because I never rode a Bullit.
I think I saw you out there, though. I was on my green MkIII that day. You were killin' it.
I could possibly be talked into a Demo loop on the 20th.
I'm thinking of dropping Sawpit though. And I'd be out there early, but not too early. I need to get my miles on.
Nate, this weekend wont work for me.
Everyone else, awww man. Rode Airbourne this am and it was SO sweet. A certain local pro did some serious trail maintenance and reforming of the trail.
Anyone want to ride tomorrow am?

I hope it's better than the work they did on ET's...
unless it's still work in progress..
Yeah as far as I know they are moving in that direction. I dont know if the guy did work on ET's trail yet. This was the guy who groomed campers and the bottom 1/3 of chupa not long ago.
What grooming can be done on Campers? It's SUPPOSED to be a mess. 
is he also the one that added that retarded booter on Sweetness right before the double? that's just dumb..
I'm all about trail work and improving the trails, but there are "proper" ways to do it.

Not gonna' lie, I'm with Luc on that random booter. If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's the one that used to just be a little log roller but now totally throws you up in the air for no reason.
Take it down, por favor.

yep - that's the one. I came in there full title and expected to just float over that and transition in the left hand immediately following it just to have my rear tire almost hit me behind the head...dumb, simply dumb.
Like I said, I'm all about trail work and additions to trails - I also have the upmost respect for people that do trail work. But you can't just go around digging holes on the trail or add mounds of dirt at random spots..
I think these were different guys who built the random booter. We came up on them right after they finished, but I didn't realize it. I thought it was also going to get a landing or something else. I guess not.
Then again, how much different is it from all the little log booters on carpet?

Maybe if they put a kinda'-sorta' off-camber landin on the right... kinda' a landing/berm kinda' thing, and packed it in really well. It might help the riders land smooth and be able to carry speed off to the left.
I hit that booter last night, and it scared the cocka-doodle-doo outta' me.
good ride.....
to bad about the spacers bloo.
what happened? did you find them?
im down to ride saturday. bloo if you want to shoot im down i have some stuff i wanted to work on at z's.

But yes I saw the Rangers as well.... Just be nice and usually they are nice

Saw mounted patrol up there about a month ago.
Ranger watched us shoot all the way down to the bottom (they were saddled up on their horse mid-trail), and didn't even say anything. We even walked back to the top and they just kept on riding. We were in full gear, big bikes, helmets, etc.
I figured maybe it was a ranger at first, but when they didn't say anything I thought it might just be a random horseback rider in a green shirt, brown hat and khaki pants.
I'm an idiot.
