We rode post yesterday and had an awesome time. weather was crappy as usual until cascade locks. after cascade locks, the mountain biking gods once again opened up the sky and gave us sun! Rosser, Dirk and I rode up in the mormon mover with the new battery and she did awesome as usual! We met up with Jon and his buddy Reese. Reese hasn't been on a bike much lately, so he was just hanging back and watching. We started out on 2 chair while dirk experimented with his new remote flash. From the little I know Dirk, he has probably been studying how to use this flash for a long time because he sure seemed to know what he was doing. Jon also got a pretty sweet shot of Dirk in this one. Dirk is starting to hit some pretty big jumps and is progressing pretty fast!

Jon was his usual stylish self. Saw him hit the "new" left line on the chorus kicker section of trail.

After this jump, he landed in a manual and manualed all the way down the landing and into the first roller. We stayed here for a while and sessioned while we waited for terry and casey to show up. just after this picture was taken zip felt the urge to play speed bump and was right in the middle of the landing of the second jump/take off of the third jump and i had the bike slide to face manual.

I shook off the dust and headed down for a shuttle back up with terry and casey. Casey was full of style and was hitting all of the "new" left line on chorus. he's made some pretty good progress lately and is riding at a pretty high level right now!

Boy, he sure doesn't look like he would jump out in the trail right in front of somebody??? The new mint chocolate chip green 888RC2X was working awesome! Had a bit of trouble with the headset coming loose, but just kept on tightening it down until it finally stopped. I think i'll have to change back to the old style headset, the basic pig headset isn't going to cut the mustard!

Next ride should be sunday the 1st of July with Hack, can't wait!
