weather has kinda sucked for the past couple months, that's why not a lot of pictures or posts....but today was awesome. it was dry most of last week and into the weekend. I was still expecting there to be lots of snow, but to my suprise trails were dry. one of those days you can ride home in the clothes you rode in.

there was a ton of people that showed up, some new people like raul and a guy named todd along with all the usuals. we started in basic training where they finally got the take off on the right line finally dialed in. you don't have to go nearly as fast to make it over to the landing, but you can still go fast and not just go straight up. we also got to hit the new/revised sunday stroll upper section that we have worked on at the past couple build days. way fun and way flowy! after sunday stroll we headed up to grannies kitchen and hit the stump jump several times.

the new e.t. jump was way fun. huge take off (very freaky riding up to it) and an even bigger landing. just a couple small crashes...dirk the usual lay down on the road gap and casey did his best front flip off the hip jump on grannies kitchen. nobody in our group was seriously hurt!

summer is comin!

well, it's been snowing in the hills...raining everywhere else. i haven't been taking any pictures. so not much riding lately. jake and i went shooting the shotguns last weekend, that was fun. we walked past all the little kiddies sledding with their mom's and dad's....our back packs stuffed with beer and ammunition. gotta make some fun out of the bad weather.

i've been talking about riding with people...just a bit depressed and crazy spending all this time in the house.

maybe there will be sunshine in the future and riding.
