Just saw the comments about Syncline. On New Years we actually did Agony (the top cliffside line) and Little Moab (the rock sections after the fence halfway down). Little Maui or farther to the east side of the meadow about halfway down the hill. It's almost impossible to get lost heading to Agony from where we parked, and you can see the whole way down from the top of Agony.

We did Little Maui! Lil Moab has the rocks on the cliff line. Did we go into Hidden Valley?

yeah, neither did i. i heard mike estes mc'd the raffle on the mic, but i wish i coulda made it out. shortly after riding w/ you and your bro, i went down hard @ the colonnade, slamming my kneecap into a cedar round. fortunately it wasn't an ACL injury like they first thought, but i won't be able to do anything till january probably out for awhile. lol. injuries suck. hopefully you have an awesome snow season this year.

what's up mike? did you make it out to the final fluidride dh? i totally forgot about it and had to work that sunday, but i can't ride right now anyway. lol. how was the black rock dh day?

Killed it out at Post again yesterday. Gonna come out and send the right side of Chorus with us? Goals are a GOOD thing!!

how was colonnade dude? sory i didn't make it out. went out for a 2 hour training ride instead. did you make the skinnies above the pump track? how'd you like it? lots of new stuff since your blog.

So how was riding in Washington?

what days are you guys coming up to wa? who all is coming? I might be doing a work party at colonnade on sunday, but if not I'll be up in bellingham for my aunt's b-day and to ride galby. let me know when you come up- mayeb we can ride. is holio coming?

Me and the family, we're gonna' be camping on my father in-law's acreage in blaine, WA. Just chill with the in-laws, and get some riding done.

Who all is going? I might be down for that mission. Still on a roll from the BC trip and liking that energy!!

Whistler didn't suck.

How soon can you go ride?

Heading up to Whistler with my bike for the first time on Friday. So stoked that I'm giddy...

We need to go send it again soon!!

thanks for the support on the pod idea

Just confirmed that Sea to Sky in Squamish has rooms available for $99 (1-2 people, with each additional person $15 extra) on the 22nd and 23rd if we confirm within the next week...

Thinking about making a Whistler run on Friday the 22nd after work and riding that Sat-Sun. Sound like something you might be interested in? We could just rent a cheap hotel room in Squamish and save some $$$...

So how soon until you're back out sending it? Post Canyon Super D race this weekend!!

Manned-up and sent the Barn Door. Just didn't think about it and followed Pete Donley into it. Was pumped the rest of the ride. That drop is easier than the bypass trail around it. I went all the way to plywood front wheel first and it was still butter.

Gotcha. I might be down for hitting BR or Post Canyon midweek next week. Got a new car (new to me anyway) that I'm not afraid to drive some miles on, so I'm down for some sending it. Have you hit the BR Road Gap yet? You're sending the Stimulator like you own it now. Oh yeah, shoot me your number again. My old phone died a horrid death...

I'm out for awhile man.....arm is healing, I hope to run trails by the end of July. today is the 25th day, trauma is pretty bad, I get massaged everyday by a PT, so thats good.

He got a one of a kind hat....next time your at the house, you can pick one out.

good to hear that you are stepping it up! you riding post on sunday?

Dude- thanks for your help! There's a pic of you in the Estes' gallery being a steward.

how was the trail day?

Well, let me the first to say- Welcome Back to Post!

Yeah, my wife is actually going to be home- so I can bring up the trailer for you to tool around the Family Man area and down the roads. I'll have my 4X/DS to play around on.

My license will actually be current as of Friday, but your rig is much more plush, so abso-friggin-lutely!! I'll have gas fundage as well...

I dig the FR bike- your POD. I can't get the DH rig working proper......its a geez.

Whats this- NEW DAD? Where's the pics?

So how are you liking being a father? Leaves you little time for anything else, but so worth it.

Got cocky and took my first digger on the road gap last Sunday. Overshot tranny by about 2 bike lengths, went to full compression and blew off the side because I couldn't turn the bike. You forget how much faster the dirt is there when it dries out. I was reminded.

Looks like my buddy Noah and his custom AC are in for tomorrow, too.

Absolutely. Which day are you thinking?

Big crew heading to Black Rock tomorrow. Have anything planned for tomorrow?

That would be the one. The left side is open, but the right side that's lipped up is still closed. The left side sends you plenty big already!!

Congrats bro! Nice story on the bike show.....so good.

Nice! I hit the road gap again, and hit the Halette drop, too (first time). ET is GI-NORMOUS now and you have to GO FAST to even make tranny. It used to be 20 but call it 15, now it's 25 and call it 25. Oh yeah, it sends you 4 feet higher in the air, too. I'm guessing you probably hit it. The forest gnomes have been busy at Black Rock!

Syncline was great today, too. Still a little snow to the trail head, but once you hit the top it was clear to the bottom. Fun day, indeed!!

Looks like Todd and I are Black Rock bound tomorrow, along with a few of the WSFR crew...

Oh yeah- Quiver increase!

Because most of those were "PRICELESS!" Did you pay the $18 bucks to get in? Was it worth it? Next year I might be working the show for Brodie's Handmade line...www.brodiebikes.com hired me. I'm about to sign the contract.

Dam Mike- you went to the show? How awesome were the bikes made of wood?

Guess what? Buying a 2006 Norco XXXX with a 2007 z150 in under 2 weeks. May or may not keep the hard tail, but the stable is rounding out nicely....

Looking like Black Rock on Sunday is a big possibility.....

Sick day, Mike....Didn't Estes just say that? ;-)

We ride again soon!!

Sick ride today Mike! Come back when it thaws a little....Jack Frost Sucks!
