Pedaled until the last steep bit. Ultra long base helps with traction when standing pedaling.

It wasn't easy and my back hurts!

This course is why I dh its steep rock drops and chutes and definently has some gnar too it. Couldnt get any of the sport riders to run it with me today, they walked to the top where the drops start and that was it!

sounds tasty!!!! i might have to get my sh!+ together and head out there? what class u running now t?
nags... have you hit up the single-track that drops down into the sf valley up by farmers? b21 found it last weekend and has been raveing ever since....... rolled right by it a million times and never knew it was there

Expert!

Yeah it was great Donny did a great job. EC and I were talking and walkin the course, even he was pretty impressed at the steeps and rock drops in it. obviousley not a WC course but definently not a fontucky course!!!
Aielo, troy, Naish and Buhle were pretty happy about it as well. Good turnout and great peeps, Its nice to be back.

That is Hectic, pretty fun trail. In fact I plan on riding it tomorrow morning. Call in sick to work and we'll hit it up.

Have you ridden J-Drop yet?

Was able to snap a few pics from our session this weekend. Most turned out pretty blurry so excuse the quality.

Diesel obviously enjoying himself.

HAB

Kid on a 20 killing it.

These jumps and rhythm lines look dialed. Too bad none of us could hit it.

Santos

Good times. We miss the LA Krew.

while jumping in a silk V-neck isn't exactly my cup of tea, i'll let Brian speak for his own DJ wardrobe choices..

Brian?

dude, were you boosting it so high that you couldn't even keep in the frame on your pix?

looks like a lot of work has been done since I was there last. When are we going back?

 

[mandown]

I just got word that some of my hook-suspension buds will be in the Angeles Forest this weekend swinging from trees. It sounds like they might be hiking near the ruins at Mt.W. If anyone is riding there this weekend, keep an eye out for hikers in the sky. I'd hate for y'all to go boost a hip and get tangled in a shark hook.

I'd be there, but the boss man has me chained to the desk.

 

[Kanye West]

What the hell....

 

[mandown]

You read it right. My friends are going to hike into the forest, pierce themselves with hooks, attach the hooks to a rigging plate and rope and then throw the rope over a tree branch and get pulled off the ground. Watch out for them. You could catch a boot to the visor if you make a wrong turn. I'd be there, but I've gotta work.

 

[bneall]

yep, helps the skin breath. Hanging on hooks is X-TREME!

Reminds me of The Cell, hopefully there wont be any activities with dead ladies.

 

[ZzzzingZing]

Is anyone riding this weekend and wants to take the new guy out for ride? I have an itch that only singletrack, speed and air can scratch. Even if you get too lazy to pedal up, bring $5 I'll donate my truck for shuttle runs.

Any takers?

If you're willing to make a trek to OC, we'll probably be riding this Saturday.

 

[ZzzzingZing]

Not afraid to drive. Where are you riding?

Side bar: you want me to bring the rear wheel to check out?

 

[troubbledone]

a few of us will be riding ortega on our big bikes, if you want single track this is a good place

 

[Abstrakt51]

Finally got some pics of the new rig after its maiden voyage yesterday. I call her Mariah, you'll see why.

Felt like a straight up diva on the trail yesterday.

Thanks again to all you mofos who helped out with the build. She's dreamy.

 

[Nagaredama]

Looks good Randy. Now get some real tires

Randy! She's looking haaawt! You can really see the glitter sparkle in that last pic.
Congrats.. i wanna hear riding impressions, now that you're on a fully legit DH race rig

 

[Abstrakt51]

Thanks guys. In regards to the Kendas, I was having some minor wash out issues this weekend so I've been thinking about going back to Minions or trying something else out. Not in a huge rush though.

P, I'll give some feedback once I get more saddle time. Initial impressions were way positive though.

I've been off the thread for a while so I just saw this. This is my oldest pic, March of '04, pre-concrete lips...
And, with Nags' permission, I can post a pic of him with the first bike he ever took up there. (warning, image may contain saddle bag, bar ends and fork boots)

WOW

that is epic

 

[Nagaredama]

Don't forget about the toe straps.

I used to pin it on that bike up (bar ends came in handy) and down Westridge FR.

 

[tgreathead]

Only one I have of me is after it was compressed, no longer have the original
Yup, I tried BMX for a matter of days. Got that bike for $12 from a police auction. There was only a rear brake and it literally could not stop to save my life. I still have it sitting in my garage if anyone knows where I can get some cranks & BB for super cheap

Eye witnesses will tell you that Randy's new rig looks better in person and in action. Saturday was a great day to drop elevation with a crew of great guys. I'm looking forward to riding again. cheers!
