Good one Clint

Yeah- I wondered about this too: will 07/08 be erased? I'd be cool if the days are saved under a link to the previous season rather than just having them disappear.

Also, can I link photos from...

Edit: Not Jesse

could make for an interesting weekend considering the current plans to hike Kings peak in the Uintas... better double the volume of wiskey being packed, you know, in case we end up in the hills for...

Def. a nice guy. I helped with the inital digging and shaping. He spent a couple more days up there afterward and I never saw the finished product, which the grapevine says was never fast enough to...

Eric P. for a DH productions vid, I think. Wanted a hip out of the landing but couldnt get the speed for it.

Nice! headed out for 2 weeks of noodling around on a outdoor ed couse in the Gore leaving early tomorrow- thanks for the beta! looks like the snow's been melting fast. From your pics it looks like...

Yeah 409 is def better from Walrod. Pretty fun ride with a couple challenging low-speed tech sections, some superbuff parts and minimal pushing.

heh, not gnar enough for you? CB trails are buff from +30 years of klunkers and stumpjumpers rolling em smooth and banked. The place is mtb roots son.

409.5A? Overall pretty 'meh' compaired to 401/403/Dyke/many other FKNA rad trails nearby. The 1000' vert push from 409 junction wasnt terrible but was the first minus in my head. The first 1/3 was...

Sucks indeed.

If you're feeling science-y read David Quammen's article "Planet of Weeds" article. Or even better one of his books. "Song of the Dodo" is a good place to start.

From Planet of...

Seeing this after my previous hope-filled post makes me much less hopeful. When crooks come through town stealing bikes by the trailer-full they dont seem to reappear. Missoula PD caught guys...

I've had a few friends is Missoula that had bikes disappear. Definitely some go straight to Spokane/Seattle/Vancouver especially if it's a big, squishy bike. Still, theres some hope- some bikes come...

Awesome photos. Great riding- looks like he's got the bike handled. It takes great rider and a dialed photog to capture the "flow" like you have. The rider's been down that trail a time or two, eh?

Really? I remember 06 being pretty thin & crappy by summer. '05 however...

I really like the bear claw marks all over the aspen just left/behind the tree with the big "B" on it.

rode Reno/Flag/Bear/Deadmans, another ride from Walrod, push up the hill to 409.5 down to brush creek then back to walrod via a climb on 409- wouldn't reccomend 409.5 for bikes or 409 in the uphill...

Why filter for photobucket but not pbase, flickr, etc? Is the boss filtering because of some objectionable photobucket content or because of bandwidth or some other reason?

I believe it was "I like 7 inches in the rear" with the shiloette of a r. shock on the other side.

I lived in CB for a bit, always awesome to go back, run into some familiar folks and ride bikes. Possibly some of the best SS trails anywhere.
...

Noice! Covered some of the best riding in PC in one ride there Josh

Yesterday the ladyfriend, her dog and I headed up Paradise divide outside CB for some summer turns. We were able to drive to within about a mile of the ponds on top, though late in the afternoom...

No photobucket at work? What photo hosting sites are under the radar?

Thats some scary shit. Looks like he could use some arrest practice- gotta flip that...

Hmm, I spy Vestal, Whetterhorn, Coxcomb. Eureka?

NICE! way to get after it!

Why is Elbert the only non-photo rendered spot in the Sawatch?

Sunday...

Back in CO after seven months in Utah and with a full schedule of outdoor ed. in my immediate future, I was eager to get a last hurrah of spring skiing. Saturday morning I was up with the sun...

Thanks for following up with Bill, TH. I'm in for at least one...

A couple more of my favorites...

That crossed my mind this afternoon- ride up from the E side to snowline. Think I'll hike/skin Massive from the hatchery tomorrow a.m. because it's 5 minutes away. If ya got another worthy...

sick point sick sick on the sickter scale. this thread rocks.

yeah, that's a sweet photo!! way to keep gettin'er done when most've switched to flip flops

man, I was hoping to get up the pass this afternoon, but I guess I'll go for a dawn patrol somewhere here in Leadville instead. Lou Dawson says the 5th @1pm...

I really like the photo of Longs/ Diamond in RMNP. Having said that, you could tone it down with the watermarks. I dont think anyone's gonna be stealing your web-sized photos:rolleyes2

nice footy! those whippets do made good topsheet scrapers, huh?

Fixies are all the rage these days, though they are damn fun to ride in the same way that fly fishing is more interesting than spin casting and telemark skiing takes more finesse than locked heels. ...

Agreed. Get a bash guard and the longest steel bolts that will work. Also, a DS or SS ring (thicker, better quality aluminum & no shift ramps) helps the problem. My theory is that a loose chain...

Also ate at the Greek place around the corner. The first and only Greek tavern I've been to. Sounds like the place gets real rowdy sometimes. If you have the misfortune of having to spend time in...

Sweet. A bit of everything: mnteering, trad & aid. Thanks for the photos!

Star pass isn't radically steep. I've pedaled it SS a couple times, though I've yet to ride it clean (no pushing).

Cool TR, but thumbs down to pushing the rocky ravine on 401

Perspective I think. It's Grant's photo so I'm not 100%, but I think he would've mentioned it if I was chased by a massive snow roller like the opening scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Yeah, McBride was the objective when we left Alberta but your TR, combined with an friend's account of the 'schwack out Cheakamus, convinced us that it'd be a bad idea given the weather.

Sounds...

...glad y'all got after it though. It doesnt look like the fresh went to waste.

Bah! Catching an 8am flight outta SLC this morning made me bitter for the first half the day, thinking I was missing out. Now I know what I missed. argh!

Thanks for the McBride traverse link! They knocked it out in 4 days of skiing/1 weather day. Pretty impressive!

woah! that's freaky-deaky! wet slide? who's got more info?
