I rolled around the corner just in time to see you guys driving away. I knew something was up when I stopped, I had a pinch flat in 3 places!! On a Maxxis DH tube!! That's what I get for running an XC tire so low, need to throw the Nevegal on the back again.

Any way, good ride. I was pretty stoked to climb everything on the BigHit, that was a first. My descent wasn't great though after the flat, all I had to replace it was a wimpy tube so I had to run higher pressure to avoid flatting again. The back kept washing out but oh well, still got a ride in :thumb:

as in for good? details...........
as t said, he killed it on the uphill...........but with all the exposed razor points in the canyon we all took it easy on the way back down.
I definitely have to say I wasn't thrilled with the condition of the trail coming back down, lots of places have lost their flow due to erosion. I suppose all it needs is time and more people riding it to pack it down.
