holy shit u did that fast!

i rode it for the first time on monday and it was humbling to say the least.

I've found a full face helmet can also be a good confidence booster when there are a lot of rocks around.

I think I left around 12:30. Must have just missed you. The only other biker I saw on the trail was a guy on a Kona in a Black Flag t-shirt.

Somebody did some quality work fixing the box drop. I got a really good look at it walking down the hill.

Yep.
Also, pads really help with the confidence factor. :thumbsup:

I did Nascar for my first time two or three weeks ago in the rain. :shock:

Great vid!

Hit those jumps!!!

Found a guy parked on the street with a pump (thanks again). Filled it up to 40 psi because I didn't have another spare.

Hit Nascar today hoping to do it faster than I ever have before. Pinch flatted in the first 45 seconds of the first run. Switched out the tube, then my pump stopped working. Had a lovely stroll back down the hill with my bike. Found a guy parked on the street with a pump (thanks again). Filled it up to 40 psi because I didn't have another spare. Went back up and got in a run that made me forget my troubles. Got a personal best by about 3 seconds. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tjLY_Grn-3U" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> It wouldn't let me embed it for some reason.

I rode it for the first time 7 months ago and it was intimidating and just plain hard. I couldn't ride it with stopping to rest. I've ridden it 22 times since then and it gets more fun each time. It also helps to have a bike designed for that sort of trail.

Love the Hammerschmidt and Joplin! Pushing a DH bike uphill blows!

Haha, that was me with the pump. Can't tell you how many times I've pinch flatted, and now lately burped tires on Nascar Good riding man, the rear wheel angle looks sweet too. Now hit those doubles up top! Lanceuppercut wrote: Found a guy parked on the street with a pump (thanks again). Filled it up to 40 psi because I didn't have another spare.
