Visitors from the north get a tour of Vietnam

splat

Nam I am
Joss and Karine had planned to visit me and get a Tour of Vietnam , Well Evil Sylvain contacted me and asked if he and Rick could Tag along , who am I to say No. well I Are baboon, Mt biker Chick, Quo_fan, and Big T came up from Conneticutt for the ride too. so It was a Good crew.

and Airboon Baboon starts us off



And a Quo_fan going through a rock garden



Jozz and Rick getting some air .





we would run into some Bikeragers , Turner_girl and BadDNA and they stayed with us for a while

Jozz , I Are Baboon, and Turner Girl







MtBikerChk, claims I have no Pictures of her crashing , I do Now .



Rick and Jozz going off of Donny's demise



Nothing good can come from Jozz's wheel dropping that fast .

Jozz and Rick on the step Up





Yurner Girl Demonstraits how to roll Blind Faith ,



Mean While Jozz rolls Blind Mellon



Jozz doing this new Technical Trail Feature we put in , you step up on the the rock then Roll/drop off the other side.

Jozz dropping offthe other side



Well Rick went to do it and something went very wrong on the step up and he had the most spectacular end-o right off the rick, here he is landing , notice his bike is still on top of the rock where it ejected him




Rick was OK , and IAB now does it



Karine and MBC at the end of the Jump Line





Jozz on the final drop of the jump line



IAB screwed the landing up here and Kissed a tree. ( we have thought about removing that tree ) But he broke the shift indicator on the New Bike



well at this point , the batteries in my Camera were dying , so I had trouble getting more pics , But I managed to get this one , when IAB discoverd his rear rotor was loose . You only need 2 bolts on a rotor right ???



well we got back to my House and before putting hte bikes away , get a couple last passes on the Bridges in my front yard,



then of course what better way to end a ride ,then Burgers and Beers in My back yard!!!

Man, two great days of riding! I am so frikkin sore. I blew off my hockey game tonight. I'm starting to get used to the new bike a little more. Not nearly as many crashes today.

Thanks for the tour and the burgers, Splat! Good riding, good food, good company! :thumb: It's was very nice to see our friends from Canada again. :)

I've got some pics and videos and I need to load to photobucket...

Good time seeing everyone, glad you all enjoyed your ride. I don't think it's named yet, but that first drop is at One NEMBA Square, the second one is Rented Mule and the roller is Blind Faith. Thanks for the photos and video everyone.
