I'm sure it's a lot better. Did it get a new top end?

I agree with Greg, we had to cancel.
Opps thought you were talking about the 4x4 winter run.

Looks like you guys are having fun. Wish I could have made it. I'll post pics from Glamis in two weeks to return the favor Why is Von always wearing some girly colored jersey?

 

[rholbrook]

Von launched his bike today and it tried climbing up the wall near where that pic was shot. I wish I would have had the GoPro on because he left marks on the wall atleast 10' high. He got a little scratched up but his pretty bike didn't fare as well.

Von only buys the craziest colored jersey. Usually the clearance ones that nobody buys. Been having a blast down here. Dirt, trails, and guys have all been awesome.

Man, if I were there I could have totally showed you guys how to fall down that!!

The riding looks awesome, from the one pic...

"Launched" is an understatement. Imagine being in a simple wash with just a few rocks here and there. Some guy wheelies off one of those rocks, then whiskey throttles his bike up the side of a rock wall for no apparent reason. That's pretty much how it went down... or up and down, violently.

Great trip with good friends, I just wished I took some pictures! I didn't even bring the gopro. With the exception of the Warner Valley stuff, all of it was new trails to me, and that was really cool. Things I learned from this trip...

Tyson has gotten fast, like really fast.
Stratton has gotten really fast too, and his new Husky is pretty sweet.
Russ is probably the coolest guy I know, and he can talk his way out of anything.
We'll have a hard time keeping up with Russ' 14 year old kid in a year or two.
If I could justify having a second bike, Derek's Beta would probably be it.
Gnarly sand climbs on a 300 with a good knobby are a lot of fun.
Riding in the dark without headlights isn't very safe.
Frozen Otter Pops make for good ice packs.
Von shouldn't try to do anything fancy that might look cool. Did I mention the Otter Pops?

 

[jeeper]

I have heard this was quite the ride. I am sorry i missed it.. On the other hand, I am glad I didn't have to try to pretend I could keep up with all you guys.

I'm uploading photos and some video of that technical rocky hill climb.

 

[glockman]

I keep telling Harrison he sucks at riding and should just give up.
It isn't working. I need a new strategy.
