Yeah, I saw it. It looks super nice. How have your jumps held up with over the last few months? Bet you can't wait to jump the Soul out there.
I chilled on them once DH season began. I'll start up again after the National Championnships.
Too bad about your jumps, the big one was so sweet.

Nice pics Biggins. Thanks for showing us around. Just got back from 15 hours of driving from SnowShoe!!! What a trip
Where is the picture of Nikki sitting on the log?

Some more pictures from the next 2 days of riding in the Pisgah area....
From Bent Creek
me following my friend Scott down some stairs (Lower SideHill, I think)
and me falling over trying to climb back up and do it again
a fast berm section
Then a drop we were playing around on..
Then our friend Scott took us to a less ridden area of Pisgah, it was close to the Mt Mitchell area, but I forget the name of the town. Here is a waterfall off the fire road on the way up.
BearPen was the name of one of the trails, here is a pic of me hitting a small jump at the end.
and then a video of the same section

Yep, actually in 2 sections, as in you can drop in at the top or section #2. The first requires a slight climb on a grassy road to the drop in. The second is right off the Forest Service road. I thought the second section was pretty steep....biggins said:

hmmm, have you ridden windrock yet? cause that junk is steep. 1600 feet in 1.5 miles

Nope, maybe next year. SS wasn't really that bad, the only things I had problems with (steepness wise) were the drop-ins on A&B and a few spots on the Pro DH course.
Well good thing you are being diligent with your 12-16oz curls.biggins said:
We now have 2480 feet of vert. Snowshoe can't touch that. 
I am sure Windrock is BadA$$, but SS has more than just vert to offer. DH is new to me and I am mainly a "trail" rider, but I had a great time. Between hitting the terrain side (2 times) then heading down the Western territory (longer DH, or DH to XCish trail) to catch the shuttle bus every hour you can get in A LOT of freaking gravity assisted riding in 1 day. Not to mention that everything (drinking, eating, bike shop, pool & hot tub) is within walking or biking distance from lodging in the village.profro said:We now have 2480 feet of vert.

Lets see, after about 10 runs in 4 hrs we are totally exhausted, but I suppose you could get more runs.
Come on, we have the beer cooler (drinking), Windrock Snack Shack (eating), search the gravel parking lot and trails for parts (bike shop), and the creek (hot tub).
I know, Snowshoe and Windrock aren't the same. I JK, mostly with Biggins. Our trails are 100% full on DH trails and thats about it. Snowshoe is a resort and I'd love to spend a weekend there riding outside of the National.

We are working on that type of stuff over at the Bigfoot MTNx course.
I'd like to do Pisgah before the year is out, is there anytime that I need to be aware of that's too cold or the weather is too much of a factor to ride?
Also, MORE PICS. I havent seen any decent single track since I got back from Iraq in March...

yeah...you should be aware that being aware is the best way to stay aware of wariness. wear stuff because stuff wears out whereever you go....go where you can wear the least and ride like a weirwolf...word
