This picture may not mean much to most of you, but it means a TON to some of us! This is a picture of poise and strength, and I’m certainly not talking about me.
Legend.

Cool rocks. You may need get closer and take some betterer pics for us geology fans. Looks like Hoo Doos.
Missed the better view with the sun shining through the fog, but I’m not one to ride backwards for the instergram
Now I’m hungry for marinated beef hearts.
In regards to that picture: I rode with @WKD-RDR today. almost to the top of a loooong shuttle, he realized he forgot his shoes. Ok, the only thing that would work out of what the crew had was some rubber flip flop type things.
Not one to be dissuaded, out came the duct tape, and voilà , riding shoes!

Are you at snowshoe wv? That rocky section of trail looks awfully familiar.
The trail was a little vague at times
For the rock fetish people.
Rode where I used to race a bunch of years back and bumped in to a couple of riding buddies.
Was a good afternoon.

Ahhh I feel good now. So nice to be back on the bike and get the last jet lag rinsed out. We had a lot of rain the last two days and I was a little worried about the state of the trails but they turned out to be in perfect shape with so much grip. Train got me to the trails. Still in short sleeves and shorts!
Yes! Tyler has serviced them once. Still running great. TI axle and all the cnc fancyness.
A literal interpretation of this thread is that it is a tontine. Courtesy phone to the last survivor!
Exposure is where you will land in the tops of a tree if you blow a corner, not hit the bottom
Someone mentioned on the shuttle truck how exposed this outside corner is. Never even thought about that the first few times flying down here..
What's a rock cliff called then?
Not that this is a cliff, but if you sailed over one of these turns, you'd cartwheel to rocky Creek below.
Go fast, take chances.
How do you find the Kryptotal front in those conditions? I have a Kryptotal Enduro soft rear and it doesn't seem very good in loose over hard. The Front version of the Kryptotal with the equal spaced side lugs might work better for me as a rear tire.

I was surprised to go from my hardtail with Pirellis front/rear to the dual sus and the dual sus felt less capable in corners, but the hardtail did have a DH cased tire out back.
Went out and re-created some of the cross-races that I've missed this season due to recovering from surgery. This bike is great for sand. And the studs are awesome on roots. First ride below freezing. Fluid Focus bomber CR seems real good.
Helped buddy Mike build up his new fancy Jeffsey and gave it a proper shake down.

The Kryototal seems to work good enough.
Though to be honest I don't have much to compare with, as I've used Assegai and/or DHR2's for the last I don't know how many years.
