Here's a few from last Sunday out at Tar River. Just north of Durham for those that haven't heard of it. Lots of jumps, stunts, XC.....Can't believe y'all haven't heard of it. :)

**All stunts are created out of cedar and pressure treated material. Gonna be there fuh-evah!!**


Bill C. on the radial stunt into the ravine. Weightless for a moment.



Girls rock too. Camye takes a turn.


Trails merge. Groups merge. Routes are planned. Riders go ride.



This kid rips so hard on his Specialized grom. Connor reflects.



Stunts like this are a typical feature out here. This particular treeride is cool in the fact that it starts out innocent enough, but by the time you reach the middle, you're about 8 feet up. You can also ride it both directions. Here, Wes rides up.



Here, I demonstrate how an angry look alone can force the front end up into a manual off the end going the other direction.



Wes hits the log ride at the beginning of the Killer Hill mini Dh run.



Killer Hill has the Mega Drop on it. It's a giant pile of rock and dirt on the steepest, rockiest decent you could ever hope to find east of Raleigh. The jump takes you around ten to 15 feet up and anywhere from 20 to 40 feet down the hill. You just float forever to a perfect transition and rollout. Here, Connor tests his wings with my dog, Tippy as his new wingman. Once Connor tops 100 lbs, he'll be able to muscle any bike down any jump.....


This is what he'll eventually be able to do. Dogboy with the X-up.



These pics are just a few of the many stunts and jumps out there. Try Trianglemtb.com for more pics and directions to some fun times.

That shot from tar-river of the dorp drop with the dog chasing the rider off the end gives an awesome perspective! That drop looks fun! :thumb:

For now, GA. When I retire from the military? CO
OK, same 3 questions as last time:

1. where is this?
2. Is anyone gonna get mad because we're young and having fun?
3. Anyplace close to get beer?

Zod, my apologizes if I offended. And if your wife is anything like mine, she WONT like the teenage girls idea.

Biggins: Keep those kids on the $4K bikes out of there.

Great shots Charlie. Rick and I rode Mansell today. We were hitting the big side on the rock at the bottom of the badlands. Rick was hitting that thing like a race run, fast. I dropped it like...a rock. We hit everything out there at least once. I brought the camera but never pulled it out of the bag.
I need to take Peter out to Augusta next time you're in town.

May I make a request? I am feeling a little homesick (for the trails) and was wondering if you guys could post some pics from ETSU? I saw but one in all 15 pages of this. Until August I lived about 3 minutes from campus. It is where I learned all my skills. Sorry all my southeast pictures are still in TN. Post you ETSU pics please!

Thank you! Remember the big triple that used to be right out of the starting gate? That jump was so fun. My friend and I were the first to jump it. Then in early April a little while after it was finished he broke his arm on it. Both bones in his left forearm were compound fractures. It was gross and I had to drive to the ER. I will have to dig around and see if I can find some pics of the triple. Sorry to ramble but the pics bring back some good (and bad) memories. Thanks!

I haven't been on RM much at all in a really long time... so, i'll dig up some pics.

Swannanoa Jumps:








The landing is out of the picture on this one, so please don't say anything about the landing looking pretty flat:






I will try to dig up a few more soon. But sunday, i will have a better pic (hopefully) of me hitting the double at the end of trace ridge...the last time i hit the gap, the picture didn't turn out well :eviltongu (thanks eric)

OK....correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing somewhere in Fairview, maybe even Little Pisgah is where that rock outcropping is? I see a radio tower on the right there. Either that or Sugar.

it's Little Pisgah for sure. like 4 miles from my house (the drive) then like 6 miles up on bike... :eek:

private properity, so we got kicked off by some lady on a horse (when she finally caught up to us). pretty fun DH and we would have gone back by now, but we would rather just shuttle kitsuma or trace ridge

I remember it well. Private property...I can still see the topgraphical surveys. 6 separate land owners. The top is owned by the man who designed NASA's GPS systems...cool guy and caretaker is a total hippie(rides a 4 wheeler everywhere and rarely leaves the mountain. The cow pastures are owned by one of the Dalton's from Lake Lure who could give a crap less if you are there...and 4 psychotic people from the Northeast who hate the human race!!!

Go back next time and just say you were staying at the wilderness camp at the base. That place would be one of the sweetest DH playgrounds ever!!!
