I think these arguments are complete bullshit!!!! What, you’ve never looked at a USGS map before? The KORE folks back in the day prolly complained that little sniveling gravity junkies will now ski above our meadow skipping hot spots. The availability of maps/information about safety is not a bad thing. Someone who’s interested in back…[Read more]

Without a part of the user in the…

Beautiful terrain!!

the funny thing is, i have been thinking the same thing about your TR’s. i suppose the grass is always greener…

I think you are both right, beautiful terrain keeps ending up in TR’s all over the place with both of your names attached. I have to shake this week or more cold and get out to get some…[Read more]

come up to baker….the snow could be pretty baked….it could be ok….i am headed out though. give me a call if you want to come up.

I just got home a bit ago from Baker actually. Was up there for the weekend for my bachelor party. Rode inbounds both days (hiked out the arm a few times today though). Not up for driving back up again…[Read more]

don’t forget there is a big euro split scene, and i bet it was all developed over there.

You’re probably right….by the looks of the design it must have been designed in Amsterdam because Atomic is high as a kite. 😆

Thanks for the vid UB! 8)

Yeah and lots more snow. 😀

Wow those are great sites. and not just for this project, some of that crazy ‘mechanical property’ data is going to fill some holes in random tinkering/matlab/cad projects i was playing with last year. Big Thanks.

All the PNW areas seem like they would be great for both snow/mtb as well… I just can’t get over the rain factor.
