Northstar, as expected was a blast. Good company and good riding (for the most part). Most valuable lesson learned on this trip? Don't masturbate in front of your dog.

No worries bro. I was able to be on a bike riding some DH, so no complaints from me. Just glad I was able to get back to a resort before seasons end.

Yeah.....that was on of the most laughable trips. Good riding and a fun/funny crew. Few mechanicals but the best thing was ...no one got hurt.

Till next time...........

My own world inside my head
Hmmmm, figured this would be a good thread for these. Some clips from Webb this weekend

Ok First off, I know there shaky as hell, still working on the best way to mount the camera.

First one, my first time at webb, not the best video, but pay attention to the very end, found a little ladder somewhere I didnt expect it


Second is Lil Willie hitting the ladder drop with no drive train. Broke his chain and derailer on his first run before I got there. He was coasting the whol time




Rest are the partials of my second run after I learned the trail a bit

You guys missed a fun dual slalom race at Elings Park in SB over the weekend. Taylor and I headed up there for our first MTB race. I qualified last thanks to a fall during my second qualifying run. Ended up winning the beginner class. The berms were super fun. Can't wait for the next race.

Good stuff Nags! Does this mean you'll be racing the Fontana Winter series?
I'll probably do a mix of the DH and 4X events depending on which weekend day I can be away from the family.

Nice thing about dual is you don't have to worry about other people plowing into you. In 4X you need to worry about being taken out.

Hopefully there will be another dual race up at Elings over the winter. Otherwise I might have to drive up there just to ride the course.

anyone interested in doing a pinos run at some point before it gets too cold? i've never done it, but heard it is a sweet scenic roll down the hill. it is quite a drive and we would need shuttles. could turn it into a camping trip. i've got a bad tent and a lame sleeping bag.

i'm hitting Kenter this weekend boys
I have too many house projects, work and a wedding to attend in the next coupla weeks, so can't do any long trips.
the big bike is out of commission at the moment as well, waiting for a full overhaul after the lift season.

If you guys decide to make a comeback a little sooner, a few of us will be hitting up some usual spots for some fun in the sun.

Will you be joining me and the rest of my hipster friends at Hardfest on Halloween A?
