Noah should've kicked those rent a cops in the nuts and said he just did that cause he's too young and he doesn't know any better!

Maybe mention that you train bike cop classes and that you're certified. Offer two free lessons.;)

in a single wide, cooking meth...
Are you fuggin kidding me? Hands down the best vid ever posted on RM...nay, the ether net.

The recipe for the perfect video:

* Ice
* Busch Ice
* Old pick-up truck
* Random dog
* Mueller
* Rope of questionable strength and service life
* Ski tube
* And of course, the venerable Roman Candle


Monster props brah...

(NOTE - mountain strippers would actually make it the "ultimate" perfect video)

I agree with Ed, that is a classic. I confess that as someone that pulls crazy objects out of people's eyes for a living, I was cringing a little.

I would add that there should have been a bottle of "the gentleman" in order for it to be completely perfect.

Tight!

No hucking the huck rock? And is it my imagination, or are the berms and cuts bigger now?
Looks like craig hit it, but Mike took this cool slab line I raked out for fun. Trying to offer more opportunities to use different lines as the main one is starting to get pretty rutted in some spots. Most of the track has been reworked, so you're correct, some of the berms and lips are a lot bigger than they once were. We got 8 inches of rain in 24 hrs a few weeks ago so most of the track needed a big touch-up. Also you can't tell, but its really muddy and slippery in this clip.

I've started doing a bit of work on a berm for the "Bar Drag Bounty" Contest posted on VitalMTB





Gotta add a bit more dirt, some shaping, and perhaps a jump down in.

Bar humps - collegiate racing at it's finest! Wisp O Ten!





The other fine aspect of collegiate racing - endless crashing.

Two hundred and seventy five pages of photos from the south forum and I think that may the very first time anyone has posted a pic of someone airing it out with a loaded gun.

Props to you sir!!!

Hit Mills River on New Years Day just short of noon in a downpour. It let up on the fire road, then was relentless the entire ride. The sticker says "No 29'ers" and on Fletcher Creek was a similar sticker, but it was pissing rain at that point. We rode an epic river of freezing water down Spencer Branch and Fletcher Creek.

Most dangerous parts were the dirt roads. Eddie fell in Spencer Branch, soaked head to toe and busted his elbow up on a 100 foot long patch of ice 200 yards from the car at Mach 5! :shocked:
