Nice Charlie...
Are you guys riding the jumps right now...or are they too wet? I'd love to come and ride some of the trails one weekend soon. Let me know...i'll bring the camera.

Look how calculated he looks on that drop. i guarantee if you took a pic of me on that drop I would look more scared than he does. This kid amazes me.

EDIT: on second though, Josh looks more scared in the bacckground than Noah does on the drop!

nah...that's just the pink shirt. wearing pink tends to do that to people :D

on the drop....you and i can see the landing upon approach, noah can't see it until he hits it.

I believe it. It looks like theres a little (3in) drop before the bigger one, It really amazing that he was able to hit it and not nose in because of the little drop. He's getting really good.

he went with us last week on our urban ride at UNCG. we were launching off one of the fountain walls...about 2-3' drop but the ledge has a bump right when you hit it. he saw us hitting it and started in toward it...ready to launch it but i had to stop him because i was sure he'd nose over after his little wheel hit that dip. he was SOOOO upset "why can't I do it if you guys are doing it".

next time i'll find a thin board to cover up the dip and let him rail it :thumb:

It was really good meeting everyone on saturday, and thanks for the hospitality! Good times! Thanks for everyone who has put in work there, that spot is alot of fun, I can only see it getting better.

I didn't really take anytime to take pictures, but I gave MikeT the camera and he went crazy with the photos, a few of the berm shots I thought turned out pretty good....

bad with names but I think it was Daniel, something about oil of olay


Noah was definitley rippin it up all day, clearing doubles, sticking drops, step downs, he's all over it, it was crazy to see that kid ride, he's awesome.


Nick getting a little roosty


some fat kid on a bike, me!


I'll get the rest of the pics up and post a link..... those just seemed to turn out good, thanks MikeT

Down in the G-Spot
Sommore Country Park pictures from today (2/26). It was windy as hell, but we made the best of things. Here some pics. Photobucket is shriking them too much so I will try to fix that as post the rest ASAP.

Motomike throwing down on his new Demo 8...





Me trying to whip and be like Motomike.



Bob going crazy with his bike.



Me layin out over the Main Table.



Me hitting a new line. Hip into the berm.



Me with a Fufanu.



Then Bob and I tried some footplants. We didn't really succeed, but we were getting close.

They are really not as hard as you think, but on a 26" bike it works a lot better if you try it on something with a sharp and steep lip.

Some screen caputures from AA yesterday.

The jumps needed some love before they could be ridden . . . BDSM love that is.


dogboy was killing it



After seriously overcooking this drop last time, I think Suboptimus and I have it dialed now.



dogboy hit it for the first time, and styled it to boot


Of course there's a price to pay: kersnap.


What the hell?


Max was so excited he just couldn't hide it.


More here.

Wanna meet up and ride pisgah soon? We gotta get some work in if we're gonna shred the mountains all next year.
yeah man. How about next weekend? I'll be out of school for spring break, so I can make it epic if needed. I'm down for whatever man. You guys know the good stuff.

edit: It's so on next year. urban shuttling is gonna be the new hotness.

App: not just for potheads anymore

I plan on fully exploiting all that Boone has to offer. I spent last weekend up there and the place is tight.

Mike, I'm def in for pisgah next weekend, I think me and james are camping up there. I'll probably be up there this saturday too providing we're not too busy getting the spot cleaned up before the feds get us.

Never having even been there, but hearing about it from Motomike and others I now really regret not making it down. My condollences...few things in biking suck worse than having your stuff plowed...
