Testing fast lines on the new intro/am track at hawksnest.



I'll have to get video to really do this feature justice, but its got a really cool flow to it. You can see me popping over a small roller stepdown, and the rocks in the foreground are a second takeoff right after you land. You pop the gap, then immediately boost off the second lip into a nice wide, rocky runout. Very cool to gap at speed but is all totally rollable for beginners as well.

she's 5. the pink bike is a 16" haro, the other is noah's redline mni...her own mini is in the works.

she's already doing great at bmx with her heavy/under-geared haro....i can't wait to see how she'll do on a mini. if noah had 1/10th of her drive he'd be on his way to turning pro in a few years.....

He was famous at 3. At least he hasn't pulled a Lohan yet.

Wow - 2 in a row, eh?
Try three. I cracked my trek fuel xc frame only a month before cracking the morewood.
I'm gonna try my luck at building up the revolt again. I got my fork rebuilt after blowing it up at snowshoe, but my frame is still in the same predicament. Evil tells me it's 100% safe to ride, but I'm still hesitant.

Oh, and it's great to also know that my frame now has absolutely no resale value. :disgust:

Check it...some stills from a big roadtrip I just got back from. I was helping my buddy Peter Mills work on the pro GRT track at Whiteface with some shredding at Highland on the side. Also a few shots in there from the Highland GES race.












There's a whole lot more where that came from so if you're interested, check them out here.

Charlie at Windrock. As Charlie puts it listen to the "concern" in my voice when I tell him to get on it for the last jump.
Great vid / camera work Doug....Charlie was in the frame the entire run! Sadly....I don't think I've ever done a non stop run like that.
