Going those speeds on that trail was beyond dangerous. There were so many sniper rocks, stumps, and downed trees you couldn't see through the brush. But it's always fast with Geritt and Wyatt up front. I wanted to stay close for the vid but was just to uncomfortable at those speeds and not having a clear view of the trail. But it was fast and in perfect conditions.
Mastery? You mean the jack-knife and tree hugging?

i finally took noah to snowshoe this past weekend. big thanks to rewster for hooking us up w/ the inside scoop.
You clear it? If so I want to come and follow you in.braappp
That pic reminds me of how bad cable routing on the front of a DH bike sucks.
Not that weekend, I was getting about half way. This weekend I was getting about 3/4 of the way in practice, didn't get to hit it at all in the race since I lawn-darted myself into the ground after the 3rd corner and done quite a bit of damage to my bike.
It's is a huge tabletop with a short run-in. The 250 doesn't quite have the grunt to make up for my slow corner speed.
Here's one of my buddies hitting and actually clearing it, he's a very fast B-rider.
and this is the double a destroyed myself on.
I landed somewhere near the cones, off the track luckily since there was about a pack of 12 people behind me since I got the holeshot (for some reason none of the jap bikes can touch my beat-up woods bike.. go figure).
Well, that streak is over. 38 years alive and never seen a Timber Rattler. I don't want to again. Had no idea how freaking huge they are. Came out of the steep section on Greens Lick, hit the big left hander and as the trail straightened out, I about poo'ed myself. :0
Stinks that I didn't get a good pic. Tried to run it off (it was 2-3 feet off trail) but it was cocky. That tail makes some noise! Most impressive critter I've seen in the forest.

They won't usually move. I recommend a really long stick to scoot them along.
Saw a timber on table rock rd the other day, friend of mine saw one on brown mtn last weekend.
It was a really weedy section right there. Only thing I could find was what looked like maybe the back of a Bob trailer? What happens if you get bit by one of those?
If you really get bit? 33% chance no venom is injected and you just die from the shock of being bitten by a rattlesnake. 33% chance no venom injected and you piss yourself and run off a cliff....and die. 33% chance venom is injected and you die...horribly. 1% chance.. no problems!
Haven't posted much on here but I just got a new gopro and mac so I thought i'd share some of my new edits. Here is one of the first ones
Did that drop at the lake get lowered? I like the jump on addition.
Yeah, only about 7 ft. now. It had rotted, collapsed and laid there for a while before this got done to it.
Sittin on a berm in VA a few weeks ago!

oh wow. That one is sporting a black head!!! One I saw had a neutral/tan head.
A couple more pics of the VA rattler. This dude wasn't camera shy at all and didn't want to move out of the way. One of the most impressive creatures I've seen in the wild also.

For Loo:
So much talk of timber rattlers. Milo and I found this guy yesterday.
Now that's what you should handle a snake with. Is there anything Josh doesn't do BIG? 
I went to college for 7 years....I'm no dummy. That's about as close as I was going to get to it.
He didn't much like me trying to pick him up either.

WBD Trail at Clealan's. I like Clealan b/c he'd rather ride than figure out his wife's camera.
Glad you finally got that thing together, looks good
Brett Knierem goin hard in the paint. The kid doesn't even ride bikes aside from lake jumps. This was the first and only run at it before the cops got called.
I'm not much of a Pinkbike pro, but I vote this POD. Post it up and go!
A little clip from a project in Western NC. These trails are private.
Its somewhere in between dirt jumps, a pump track, and a skate park built in a mountain setting. Still working on our website but you can like us on facebook if you want to see what we're up to.
Go to vimeo for HD...looks nice!

Does Pat need any new friends?
It's almost ski season!
Green River Narrows Race.
DHers could learn a thing or two from this event. Racing for bragging rights only and everyone races the same class. ~1000 spectators despite an hour-long hike in. Nobody complains and racers don't get judged on how cool their outfits are. Awesome time every year!

Mulestar, was that you with your dog? Hat and I think yellow shirt, talking to Matt G?
Here's my GRN Race Pics: 2011 Green River Narrows Race | Facebook
First time down there for me. Very Cool! Though the hike and out didn't make my neck feel very good..... note to shelf, don't hike up and down there 11 weeks off a broken neck.

yup that was me.
Shocked you could make it down there and back after your injury. Props.
Kinda of figured that... from your pic I knew what general area you were shooting from. I was standing pretty close to you for a while. Then later I saw you talking to Matt, Nick and Garth. Figured you were a MTB guy. Nice pics BTW.
This is week 12 of recovery. Let's just say by the time I got down I was not comfortable and we ended up not staying very long (left about 2:00) cause it felt like I was again at day two of being out of my neck brace. Wanted to shoot more, but it's hard when I am not comfortable.
