Come on, Spring!!



I'm so itching for dry summer weather to come back on a regular basis I can hardly stand it. Regardless, it's been a great start to the 2008 riding season. Went down to Black Rock with Hack and Maing, and met up with the usual characters. We had a good crew today; Hack, Casey, Jamie, Darren, Chris (Don Coyote), myself, and a few new riders we've picked up riding over the last few weeks.....Oh yeah, we hooked up with Crazy Jake out there towards the end of the day, too.



I decided to take the "little bike" (my Norco 4XXXX) down to get used to it and to see if I could continue the progressions I've made recently between the two bikes. Mission accomplished, baby!! I hit the road gap with the same speed I usually hit it on my Shore and landed a full bike length deeper into the tranny and almost overshot the berm. Hit the Halette, and the little bike actually landed cleaner than the big bike usually does....How's that work?! I think that new ladder drop to bank after Halo/Halette is going to become one of my new favorite stunts there.....Sooooo butter!!


Darren had an unintentional dismount on the Stimulator and I had one on the stump jump, but in both instances, no major injuries and riding continued. Lots of sending it, with only a few bruises after the fact....



Pics and video to follow soon. Such a sweet day!!
