That double looks delicious.
I decided to quit before it snapped and buy a new frame.

Hey T-pirate: do you have any pictures of your Foes Fly with the new red wheels? 
Sure do.haromtnbiker said:Hey T-pirate: do you have any pictures of your Foes Fly with the new red wheels?
Damn. I just got some too (and by that I mean there are some in the shop I work at that I stare at everyday wondering how anyone can afford them...).T-Pirate said:Sure do.
Yeah they're pretty but they put a serious dent in my bank account, I almost couldn't afford to get the Yeti. I've got some work to do to bulk the funds back up, thank god for that graduation money.
Nice work Mueller, we've gotta put them through the test this fall man. 
Wait...why does this look like Kirkcaldie is riding his trail bike on the DH??? and why does the last pic look like Mike riding his SX on the DH?highrevs said:.

ooohh.....Mooney in the turn in black and white!!! NOYCE!!! Wish you had gotten me in that turn...it was the only place I was hoping to see a pic of me from. Doody.
an oldy but a goody of zach at salem. i thought this pic looked sweet in antique
That's a great shot. I learned to ride single track there way back in the day. When a tree falls across the trail at Salem it's left there, not cut out, but left, so riders have to hop over it. That is so rare these days. Now, for me, Bent Creek is the closest place to ride. That place has been turned into a homogenized, baby butt smooth, eight foot wide, terrain diversity lacking, logged disappointment. Yeah, I guess I miss Salem.
ha...now that i live about 5 minutes from salem i'll be doing more "grooming" of the trail. i like to hop over logs too but lately there have been a lot of full sized trees that cannot be ridden over or under. i think that me and mr. chainsaw will be busy early this fall.
Nooo! The unwritten rule about that place is to use the fallen log to create an obstacle. If it's too high to hop, build up a stack of smaller logs on both sides of it. Be careful of using a chainsaw out there. The power co. that owns it freaks about gas powered tools. Also, technically, mt. bikes are illegal in the woods there. A chainsaw would most definitely draw attention. When I lived there the Sierra Club tried to get mt. bikes banned from there. Keep maintenance on the d-low.
nooo.... it needs to be groomed some, some of those logs you have to get off your bike to get over, thats no fun. me and Keagan went out there yesterday i got alot of vid cept some of its scetchy i didnt have the camera tightend enough so some is a tad blurry.

um...how do you think most of the stuff has been built out there, you ever notice the nicely groomed chainsaw marks on a lot of the trees? it took me about an hour to saw through a 12" thick log with one of those rope saws so to hell with that. it's not as loud as you think and, in short bursts, it's hard to pinpoint where the noise is coming from.
you obviously haven't been there in a looong time. there are trees down that don't necessitate building a stunt or "xc pyramid" over because the tree itself is about 3-4' off the ground and the trail turns directly behind it.
besides, i know a lot of the winston pd guys that patrol that area and we have a "professional understanding"
and since this is a photo thread
alex on the hip
Forgive Jack...he's like me...bitter and mistrusting of "trail work". Come to Asheville and see what we mean sometime. All the roots, rocks and off camber that made Pisgah the best place to ride are being ripped out by "trail stewards".
I'm a member of the local SORBA chapter and haven't been able to help at a single trail session so I have NO ROOM to talk...but at the same time, myself and the head honcho of our chapter are both all about some roots and rocks as opposed to cart paths.

i dig logs and obstructions as much as most, it's just the completely impassable ones that need to go. what can you do with a tree that is leaning across the trail at chest height? can't go over, can't go under it.
What, you can't hop a chest high tree on a 45 pound bike? I'm not trying to crack on you dude. I'm just saying you guys have a hidden litte gem out there. That trail has not been dumbed down by the powers that be. So enjoy all those challenging technical features. Bent Creek now makes Tsali seem tehnical.
A lot of the chainsaw work out there happens at night. Usually adopting the "cut quick and get the phuck outta there" style.
hey alex....you stole my old quote and life motto !
oh yeah, pic thread.
brian w. during the good 'ole days when the hip after the drop was still huge

it's a crappy pic but a lot of you newcomers to the lake never saw showtime in it's prime. it used to be BIG 
i REALLY want to rebuild it like it was...but better.

It rained a bunch and cooled things off nicely so we headed over to plattepuss to ride a bit. I really need it too cause I hadn't ridden my downhill bike for like a month. We hit one of the new lines and we mainly just took some pics while we were there since it was late and starting to get dark when we got there.
Me off the stepdown:
Craig off the stepdown
Craig off a rock drop on the new line
me off the same rock drop
Craig off this gap on the new line
Me on the gap
and me off some little jump/drop thats like immediately after the gap

This one will keep me from riding for a little while...:wonky2:
Unfortunately, there is no exciting story... it was just a dumb accident.
I was helping a friend move a washing machine up a flight of stairs and things kinda went wrong when the washing machine jumped off the hand truck... I was on the underside and grabbed the wrong thing when the machine started to tumble at me
uch:. It is healing very well though.
