It's killing me to ask, but how was Northstar? It won't be until the 20th that I get to ride, so let me know what I missed this weekend.

good question. I was wondering why Sandhill was so empty today. I forgot it's opening weekend. Anything new on the trails up there?

He was too busy cleaning the fleck of mud off of his bike that seemed to land on his bottom bracket shell.

Can't figure out how it happened........he got off and walked his bike around every damp spot. His hero sam hill would kick him in the nuts if he saw how he babied that thing.

I heard Don got a DUI last night.








































Dialing under the influence that is. He called me at about 11:30pm all wasted spitting racial slurs. Then he called me back at 8:30am to apologize (not needed). Apparently he called Sanjay, Fraser, Brian and MANY others. Lay off the Hamms buddy :nope: :D

I wish I could have made it up there. Noah and the SB heads hit up DVille today so anyone looking for a trail report should ask now.

My phone never rang (thank God) He asked me if I got his message today when I met up with him & Orven on Dog Bone.

Damn, you too eh? Ha, that was the funniest f'n voicemail ever...damn kids can't hold their liquor eh? Sheesh...
I got the call this AM too, but missed it, no need to apologize for me either, it was some much-needed comedy in my stressful life right now...glad he had some fun though!
Hey Sean, when are you in SB? As fate would have it, it looks like I'm moving a little South and East (still LA-ish area though), got a pretty kick-ass new job in the "biz," so I'm movin' on up. We should try and get together for at least some beers at some point, if not some riding...

I am living right off the base of Gibralter (perfect :D ). Let's definitely get together soon. I am free every evening after 6pm and I am also free all day wed-fri of this week. Also if you want to ride sometime hit me up, I mostly ride up and down but I am always down for shuttles too.

Niiiiiice. That is not a bad place to be man, nice.
I'm off on Weds too, this week anyway, so maybe I'll give you a buzz and see if we can figure something out.
I haven't shuttled in I can't remember when, I guess I kinda got out of it a little, I usually earn my downhills now too...
I'll drop you a PM...
Sorry to hijack the thread!

Yeah right up the that point you yard sailed. Then you were the most dirty. The mountain is same as ever. The guy they have working the races is a complete ass. Mr. Bro Bra I will call him because that all he ever says. Bro the timing is right. Bra sorry the timing was wrong just go faster on your second run bro that's racing. Bro I'm the cool guy dude I was a famous ski racer don't you know who I am bra. Boycot the races this year they still have no clue how to do timing. They still think it's the same as ski racing. Glad to see they found a good replacement for me.

They raelly have no clue. One guy even bragged "I have been doing ski racing for 25 years". Well bra this is not a ski race. No passing in a 45 second ski race. Mr. bro bra had THE WORST ATTITUDE towards the racers. His nickname in Tahoe is Hollywood. This same guy TRIED picking my wife up one night. He thought he was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cool. " Yeah baby I'm a pro skier have you ever dated a pro skier before". This guy is my age (32) and using pick up lines that don't work for a 21 year old. He is also the media rep for N* this year. His interview last week in the paper made him sound like he was SOOOOOOOOOO good on a bike. Not once have I EVER seen him ride on the hill. Wait yes I did last year and he sucked. He made mountain bikers sound like a bunch of retarded snowboarders in the paper.

It's all pretty much the same but super fun nontheless. They jacked up the stadium jump which really bummed me out because I loved to launch off it with the nice lip they used to have.

btw, BRING YOUR OWN FOOD. The only place to eat is at the golf course which is find but, you have to drive to get to it. That sweet deli is closed due to construction but, I assume next year there will be plenty of places to eat since all the construction will be complete.

What is it with places like N* hiring walking hard-on's like Hollywood? I know the guy from years back, tried the same thing with my wife. She promptly kicked him right in the stones, it was damn funny.

Its seems like no matter where you are these days its about he hard-on bro running the place. Right now it is the same show down here in the dirty south. Virginia is going to the same BS place, along with Texas and W. Virginia. Last year it was even like this at Brianhead.

Did I miss something along the way, or did too many of us take on too many shots to the head over the years and we've now collectively gone retarded?

I hate to say it but it seems like a lot of the peolpe who work up there are big meanies, the lady who put my bike on last year put my bike on wrong so by the end of its ride my bike was hanging by the seat. and the qr that she half loosened, I can't believe it didn't fall off. But I'm waiting to next weekend when I get to go up. Cha Bro
