rode post canyon after work this past friday. paul and jon were like two hours late, so we had some time to mess around on the lower trails. I picked up adam from his hotel in gresham and we headed out to post in the van. darren and ryan were just a few minutes behind me.

this is adams bottlerocket. we all like him bash guard. we tried talking him into hitting some jumps, but i don't think the big jumps is his thing. damn so cal people. these were about the only pictures i took this day because oh yeah...my batteries died in the camera and i didn't have extras.

i'll give the lowdown on the ride anyway. we started at the normal spot just above where two chair drop in. we were hitting the wood to wood gap then flowing into the new section where they have a step up right out of a berm. this was a tricky one, you have to really rail this berm and get into the right line for hitting the step up. i got this picture from darren. this thing looks pretty easy, but it is much more difficult to get into than it looks. once i got the berm figured out, it was a piece of cake. we stayed here and waited for jon and paul...once they got there we headed out. paul sure goes big, he just monster tucks every landing and every jump...he goes big and lands hard. this ride took us forever due to the late boys, but it was still fun. to top off the ride, paul thought it would be a good idea to leave his keys in his pack at the bottom of the hill. he didn't notice till we pulled up next to his truck...at the top of the hill. darren was nice enough to take him back up, i was already very late. until next time.
