went to post yesterday with hack and dirk. we were meeting robholio at nine. I think he showed up around noon.
weather was dry and sunny. only a bit of mud. I crashed on a small step up in drop out...and my batteries died on my camera before i could even ride.

post canyon 05/18/08
me and the guys went out to post canyon for the first time this year. It was dry and sunny the entire day! We got out early...like eight o'clock at the bottom. that's got to be a record for us. Chris Long and I met up with Hack, Whiplash, Josh and Rubberdown. We pretty much did one fast run from top to bottom. Taking a few moments here and there to check out the new stunts that the gorge guys have built over the winter.
Yes, it was such a good ride that I didn't take any pictures. I'll bring the camera out of the main bus on the next ride out there.
We all seemed a bit rusty, but we started hitting the old jumps and the new jumps. I finally hit the hip jump just above the around the tree stunt....it had been a long time since I hit that one! The next new thing that I hit was a trail called extended play. very well built small stunts, but very fun! I think I rolled up to the first set of jumps three times before I actually hit em...but very well worth the initial frustration! After riding there for a while, we went down the ancient 8 track. this trail seems to be completely falling apart. I heard a rumor that this trail was going to be torn down or the area was going to be logged???
Whiplash did have quite the endo on the second left side chorus kicker today. that put a bit of a dampener on the fun, so we kinda cut the second run a bit short. He's doing fine and you can check out the carnage asada on Hack's biking blog....link on the right side of the page.
It's going to be a great season out there. I guess now we will see blackrock at a couple shuttle days and then again in the winter!
Go ride your bike!
