damn fine work JIM!!!!!

Nice dude! Looks like a blast, though I'm sure your rim wouldn't agree. RIP

Sickter!

Wow jimw. Looks cool, scary, fun!

Thanks for sharing.

Ooo wee, seriously sick riding goin on there, Jim! I frickin love that wall ride! See it in lots of TR's

Any chance you got more? I cant get enough of Whistler porn. I'm definitely shootin to make it up there next summer...or winter maybe.

Jim, this is why I never meet you in Santa Cruz. Your pictures make me have to go pee really bad.

Here's a short clip of me cleaning a technical section right next to a 15 foot drop. Next time the camera man (jibC) will be positioned at the top to view the landing zone if you fuck this one up.
It just wouldn't be the same without jibC's verbage...

At Black Rock, there's actually a trail called "Sickter Gnar". And it is just that.

This is why you need to get a mountain bike!


That wall ride is on a run at Black Rock called "Granny's Kitchen". There are tons of great stunts on that trail, and at Black Rock in general. Highly recommended.

You will love it at Whistler. The first time I went there, I rented a Demo 8 and rode A-line... and then I understood why people have downhill bikes.

As far as other pics etc, yeah I got plenty more, just not enough time to go through them all! But here's some stuff you'll probably like. Have you checked out the Drop In TV series? They have it on the web too. Anyway they are currently touring through the U.S., and recently they hit up (guess where) Black Rock and Post Canyon. These guys are doing some seriously sick stuff!

This one is almost entirely at Black Rock:

This one shows them doing some crazy stuff on the big doubles at Post Canyon, and a few shots from Bend:

Does this help? (from Post Canyon)






15 foot drop? Time for a DH bike!


Here are a few more pics from the OR trip. From Bend... great XC riding there:







On the way back home, got a nice view of Shasta from the north. Sometime I want to hit up those sweet-looking north-facing lines on Shastina. I think it may have a little more snow now (pic from end of Sept).

You are the Man, jimw! There's no way in hell I'll ever be a freerider. I like to stay grounded. Simply put, I take all that air time you get and stretch it out on the ground until I have a 10 hour+ 10,000 ft. cross-country ride.
Now, if one were to shovel some snow up on your insane bike ramps, then I could possibly keep up with you.
I'll take my air with some soft and cushy snow please.

Yeah, I know there's a blizzard warning in the Sierra right now but... sunny skies and no new snow for New Years meant perfect mtb trail conditions in SC. So I went out with my buddy Mark to inspect a new jump. We approve. Here's some helmetcam footage.

Um... apparently it's mountain bike season again here in Santa Cruz. Epic riding conditions and weather this weekend. Some pics:

Nice! I can attest to how ridiculously nice it was in Santa Cruz on Sunday. I spent about three hours doing laps in upper campus and didn't leave the singletrack. Where's winter?

Geez, I probably crossed paths with you at some point. Drop me a line if you want to meet up for a ride sometime.

Maybe we need a Splitboard SC mtb day?

BC Mex and I were in Demo on Sunday. Not sure how UC was, but there is still a ton of trail debris at Demo. Had a blast though.
