If you guys haven't made it out to the greensboro jump park, you really should check it out, this is kinda a x-post from the south; for more shots check out the south photo thread......







god those berms are sweet! you know the 'X's you get on the sidewalls of tires if you run thm with to low pressure? i was running max recomended psi and getting those from railing the berms trying (and at last succeeding!) to clear the last to big tables on the main line.

Nice Castle, those roots look slick! I'd LOVE to see the Bent Mtn. pic if you can get it working. Where are the Bent Mtn. trails out of curiosity? That is basically the mountain I lived on growing up.


edit: nevermind, the pic is working.

the roots and rocks were slick! the top section of that trail is real nice.

I'll get more pics of that trail and the stuff on bent.

the stuff on bent is on private land (invite only)/franklin side, did quite a bit of work this passed weekend.

Hell yeah, I'm loving it. So far I've ridden it at Carvin's, Douthat, Walnut Creek a few times and Sherando. Best feeling hardtail I have ever ridden. It's weighing in at 19lbs however I am questioning the accuracy of the scale I used. The fork that is on it is about 4.5 lbs. I'm looking into a Fox for it, not sure of the model but's it's 3.3 lbs with 100mm travel. Should be perfect for it.

Nice, I have some clips from Gauntlet I should upload on youtube sometime. I think my friend Steve has some of us coming through off that small 2ft. drop on the upper portion at about 25-30 mph. It's all about the speed on those. :thumb:

I took the Explosif on it's first true epic yesterday Sean. Did the White Oak trail in GWNF. 26 miles, crossing 4 mountains and about 6,000 of elevation gain in all. And yes, I did have to walk several climbs on the SS.

Here is a pic from a cool road sign along the way where the trail crosses one of the forrest roads. Also, the second pic is from enchanted forrest at Carvin's during the rain.....
