Dropping in at Morzine, Noire de Morzine trail.
Steep, rooty tech with a dash of mud for extra fun times!

Tell @Damo to pop in and say hi.
State XC championiships. Then I went home, changed the brake pads and pulleys on my enderpo bike and hit some gnar...
Was pretty happy my suspension was working halfway decent during the race, I had a manipoo rear shock I was testing after a bad warranty experience and it's just been a jackhammer, pounded my a$$ a few weeks ago on a 72 mile race. Fox DPS with push-to-unlock and a slightly air chamber reduction and I was back in business. So nice to not have it totally F-ed up.

Couple of recent pics.
These I took yesterday after a 'ride' (1600 foot Hike-a-bike) that i hadn't done since a massive wildfire a few years ago. I couldn't believe how much burned, but the regeneration is beginning. Some trails in there will never be rideable again.
totally fun, though, deep in Grizzly country.
and this is from Whitefish. Pretty country up there.

Tacos?
I didn't have any tortillas on me
mmmm...sashimi
For scale, that thing was about the size of Andre the Giant's thumb. Things get messy if you run over one.
I'll be there in a few days, please catch all that you can before then.
Oh exalted Buddha, I seek your divine wisdom, your guidance, I beseech you show me the pa.......
Oh For my sake, it's that fucking way, did you even look? Between the two mini-mes. Btw, any chance of you getting a bike that's from this century?
Bad photo of me on the second to last ride I was on. Not pictured are the scabby knee and festering toe from an earlier crash...
Better picture of Jefe in the same spot, a few moments earlier...
My friend Claire's bike at the top, surveying the land from 12,500' or thereabouts...

^ meh
I rode the fuck out of mine until it broke. Same with my Joker. Which I also broke....Hey, if it gets you on the trail who cares? Could be worse..(Not mine btw)
Top of a climb, leading to a new legal DH only trail chock full of drops steeps and jumps. Boosh!
Where?
Top of Mossettes lift 2277meters up about to go hit Grande Conche into Les Crosets and then onto the Champery Dh track (bloody hell that was wild on the rental enduro bike) 1580meters of descending from here to Champery...... a bit over 3000m descending for the day.
Wherezat?Buddy Jamie dorpping in a narrow rock chute on Sunday's ride... IG filters for artsy effect.
The Sluice Trail at Floyd Hill Open Space
This technical downhill only trail is awesome. The trail builders did an amazing job of using the unique rocky terrain to build a great mix of drop options, yellow brick road...
Climb was superb. Descent features are pretty sick but much like that zone a town to the west the soils are SO dry it was a loose dust fest. Will ride again after some rain.
So it will be a blown out bomb hole fest by this weekend?
West Mag in Ned.
That is also my thoughts and feelings on the subject... needs moisture and to be ridden in. And while pretty rad, I did feel like some of the DH features were built a little janky.
No. By today.
Yesterday.
Thanks, never ridden West Mag, only ridden SSV once I think. Takes so long to there from ours compared to other options, but might have to try and sneak it in this season.
There's a crap-ton of riding up in the Ned area. Enough to get really, really, really lost.
