Javier riding some creek tech:

Myself on some creek not as tech:

Wholesome Folsom met up with us halfway thru the ride and decided with our encouragement that he should blow up his shock to facilitate a slacker head angle for the final descent of the ride so he chucked it up on a nice drop and got it done:

 

[haromtnbiker]

It appears the potential catastrophe of destroying two shocks in one week has been averted. I got some air back in the new shock, it's working good now!

Ray's sneak peak from this weekend. full report to follow soon.......

 

[SuboptimusPrime]

Damn Craig!! You'll have to show Buchan and I that hit sometime...been a long time since we hit any sweet droppers.

 

[Mountain Geeker]

Damn Wholesome...that's big dorp to fault on an XC bike. I wonder why you blew up that 3.5 inch shock??

BTW, where did the name "Wholesome" come from?

 

[OffCamber]

Nice drop. What trail would that be off of?

 

[BlackDiamond-1]

That is a real sweet drop! Where is it at?

 

[danielsapp414]

It's on a trail, in the woods, in the mountains of NC, you have to pedal over an hour just to get to it. It's in the middle of a good xc ride and if you know where it is it's obvious, if not you'll never find it. I'll leave it at that.

 

[Basher]

Well put. Tell Javi hey for me next time you see him. Haven't heard from him since he moved back.

 

[danielsapp414]

Will do, we're trying to start riding somewhat regularly out in the WC area and beyond so shoot me a pm whenever you're trying to ride and we'll meet up.

hey d00ds, sorry i've been MIA for a few months. been busy doing a lot of filming and stuff. but i just recently got back from out west, super fun. rode with some guys at woodward west who were on big bikes. some dude phil that rides for haro and some other guys, they were filming for freecaster. cool dudes for sure.

i put down the camera for a bit and rode the trails, super fun. didn't think i'd be riding trails in the winter time. but i was in the desert so...

oh, and jeff faircloth was on my flight from memphis to lax. i felt like a jerk tho, didn't recognize him without a helmet on. but we chatted up en route to baggage claim.

and daniel, next time you're in town, call me. april and i would love to have you over for dinner. we don't live too far from your parents house.

oh, and anyone up for riding wild turkey sunday morning? hitting the trail around 9am? haven't ridden my big bike in months!

 

[motomike]

Mangler! Sounds like you had a good time man. If you've got a mountain bike now, you should make the short trek up to Boone to ride some goodies

 

[danielsapp414]

Mangler- Good to hear you're still around! I'll definitely get up with you next time i'm in town. Should be in the next few weeks. Do you still have the same number?

Here's a couple of Mike from recently:
