I never see any Hodges TR's--probably because it's so effing gnarly no one here has the balls. Since I recently got a SC Nomad, I figured I had a worthy platform to tackle the beast. It was confirmed here that my thoughts were correct: I should take it to Hodges. Even though I had no chain guide, I braved the World Cup-ish conditions and tore through it anyway...cuz I'm AWESOME!!!!

Gearing up in the parking lot, I was already getting REALLY nervous!!


I decided to warm up with a pretty sizable huck. I knew my AWESOMOCITY would get me through it:


This squirrel fell victim to my AWESOMENESS. Poor little bastard never had a chance:


Once on trail, I decided to hit some of the insane jumps. Someone notify the FAA--I was effing soaring, yo:


Here I am hitting one of the nastiest rock rolls you will ever come across. Don't hate the player. Hate the game!!!!!


It's amazing the camera was able to get the shot. I was shredding this super crazy DH section. AWESOMENESS personified. Can I get a HELL YEAH!!!


You have to take the good with the bad on extreme DH rigs sometimes, and push up the really steep sections:


At the top of a rather sketchy section, I contemplate the best line. And AWESOMENESS, always contemplating AWESOMENESS:


Can you say SHRED!!!!! You know you want to. Go ahead. Say it.


More "air acrobatics". All that was missing was a busload of school children for me to jump over--and give them some AWESOMENESS to aspire to!!


Extreme Downhill, Hodges Addition!!!


Dropping in, yet again. Sweating AWESOMENESS and shitting excellence!!


So nice I had to hit it twice. Betta RECOGNIZE!!!


Smooth as...as....as...umm......AWESOME!!!


Like a big, sexy field goal between the uprights. I can hear the panties dropping now!!!


And that's all I have--and yes, you're welcome. I took about 237 more pictures, but by that time the brightness of the AWESOME emanating from me blinded the camera and none of them came out.

I heard that there were Pandas here, but I never saw any. Curious!! They were probably all scared of the AWESOME that filled the air and were all hiding. Understandable.

I think it would have been funny if some people were watching you thinking "what is this dude up to?"

Oh, they were. I simply said "AWESOME" and pointed to myself. They got the idea. I got sick of signing autographs after a while, let me tell you!!

You wild and crazy man!
I wish I had the huevos to do the same at Otay Lakes

Dude your so Sick man

If the fawking 911 roll gets magazine shots, you got it with this 911 demoralizer,bitches!

Let me know the year of the gear you were wearing, want to order the replica ASAP. DGAF

awesome TR! that shit is Tiiight!

all DT TRs should have pandas. i think you've set the standard.

I have enough AWESOME to go around. Unfortunately, it's not for sale.




It needed to be said!!



I know, right!!



You can replicate the gear, but you will never be able to replicate the AWESOME. Sorry dude.

Great (or should I say awesome) stuff Doug.

There's one word to describe this TR, and it's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't quite think of it. PacMan, could you help me out?

I just googled AWESOMOCITY, this picture appeared and then my computer crashed.

I guess I underestimated the power of AWESOMOCITY.

Wow--I'm thankful you're still alive. One has to be careful when Googling AWESOME!! That picture needs to be an avatar!!

I'm glad I could be an inspiration to you though. Holla at ya boy!!



So what you really meant to say was: If there were such a place as AWESOME-land, I would be king.

Accurate.

That's just sassy.
