Angelfire Freeride Fest AUG 2010

2010-09-11T19:14:00.000-07:00

Tons of work put in this summer making Angelfire a must see destination.Flow for days and huge sessions made this trip da bomb.So good to go and not have to race but instead just ride with all the rippers for fun.

Solid trip to tha Doso few weeks back.From what I can remember through the boozing I won some money at a casino playin blackjack, only wrecked once down steep trail, and railed Cloudcroft on six inch bikes. Not bad for a long weekend.More pics to follow as soon as I clear some room on the hard drive.

Sometimes being the audience is more entertaining then actually taking part in the entertainment it's self, especially if you happen to have a nice camara with three good riders to watch.

Good times, pwest

Well apparently its time to check your nutz. Some forward thinking and extremely nice craftsmanship have been employed for ATX's largest gap to date. Huge props go out to two of the most progressive riders/builders around. You know who you are. SUPASICK!!!

First Annual BALL in da FALL : MOAB

2009-11-04T10:41:00.000-08:00

Finding the perfect road trip crew is always a rough task. It seems the more people involved the more hectic the logistics become and the longer it takes to get shit done. Not with this crew. Seven deep at our largest point we were running like a fine watch. Riding seven out of nine days, all in attendance kept it real with no serious injuries and no mechanicals. A true accomplishment considering the caliber of riding we were doing. Cant wait til next year so we can BALL in da FALL even harder.
Starting off in Ruidoso, then to Moab, then to Fruita, we covered serious ground and shredded most every trail in between. Super plush accomidations in Moab, thanks to the Musgraves(thanks again guys), allowed us to push our limits on seven hour rides, knowing a hot tub at 104 would be waiting. Fruita was a welcome change from Moab but a little to XCish for our newly developed gnar rippin skills.Podcasts made the drive times seem short and many an introspective moment was had out on the trail.

We are truly blessed to have such an awesome crew.

Sunday Session

Bad Ass day at the trails and it's still a little wet too... the wetter the better! Hogan , Tracy and I spent the day scrubbing off the gnarliest rock drop in Austin, maybe that's not true but we definitely booted this shit several times. Tracy has been DUB as the photo girl because of these bad ass shots, thanks a lot.

i'm out, Pwest

P.S. get well soon Ben

Epic

2009-09-03T12:19:00.001-07:00

After a few days in Vail we headed back to Salida for some more epic all mountain.We were going to do the crest trail since B-rad had never done it but after a couple beers at a local bar we were persuaded otherwise.Our new route isnt in any of the guidebooks, probably for good reason.We parked at around nine thousand feet and rode/hiked up to almost thirteen.Gnar is the only description of the climb.Loose chunder,sand, and no oxygen made for one of the hardest ascents Ive ever done.Once at the top though, we had the view.All around us were storms.We were above treeline for a long while and were totally exposed and scared because of the lightning.Luckily the only precipitation we got was a little sleet for a minute.We couldnt have dreamed up a better downhill.Just as epic as the climb we bomb down what seems like endless flowy singletrack for about an hour only stopping to give the hands a shake and slap some high fives.Helmetcam is soon to follow.Stay tuned.

Vail pass tour to epic All Mountain ride

2009-08-24T10:16:00.000-07:00

After a day of DH all we wanted to do was chill. Stibe hooked us up with a shuttle up to Vail pass where we could take the paved bike path down for twenty miles.Perfect manual practice with a view.After checkin the scene in the village it was back to the house to regroup and then ride a little all mountain.We werent sure if we should go out because it was lookin like rain and there was thunder but we went anyway. We shuttled up to the drop point and the the sky opened. We were gauging the storm distance by the "flash then count til the thunder hits" method, and were only able to count, one onethousa...SCRACKABOOM.We decided to press on and luckily we made it.Not sure if it was mud on my shorts or poo from being scared.I guess it was mud cuz my ass had puckered shut.Beers were in order after making it back home for the awesome cleanup pressurewasher job.

Townies in Vail

2009-08-24T09:53:00.000-07:00

After bustin some caps we headed to the Vail gondola on our townies to cath the free show and have a beer or twelve.On the way home, feeling invincible, our DH mindset couldnt be contained.

Flynn decided he might like road biking after whizzing around the village buzzin tourists while Jamas took a step back in time to when he was seven.

Stibe met us down in Salida for a sick all mtn ride and came correct with a treasure map fresh from Mick Hannah and Cole Bangert saying to not do the crest trail.Lurking a few valleys over is the gnar.Six miles up and 16 down full of fast bouldery ass puckering fun.We all had a few close calls but came away healthy.Took almost four hours for the whole thing.Sick.

Mark Flynn was able to meet up with us as well.Having some technical difficulty due to the sketch rocks or perhaps a substandard rental pedal, we were able to pool resources and fix a stubborn time atac pedal leaving Mark to have to finish a bitch of a DH with an allen wrench and zipties holding his pedal together.Props to Mark for staying on pace with his foot attached to a death peg of which he could barely clip in or out of.

On the way to Vail we had to stop and bust a cap or two at the Sand Track.

Then on to Friday afternoon club atop Vail for a band and some beer.

Made it through a relaxing week in AF.Hooked up with a friend Rich in the Springs for some riding.Hit up Jones Park and then Pikes the next day.So sick.So much decomposing granite makes for good drifts.Pikes Peak is way high up.Starts off pretty tech and then opens up.Riding above treeline is the best.Couple of good views I guess too.Off to Keystone for more adventures.

Monarch Crest

2008-08-13T19:14:00.000-07:00

Just outside Salida is the Monarch Crest trail.Shuttle ride costs about twenty bucks and gets you up to about 11400 feet.From there its up for a while til you break through treeline.Amazing views and flowy alpine trail follow.We chilled at around 12000 feet for awhile and kept it safe, nahmeen.Then it was almost all downhill.The enduros took a beating but again no wrecks and no mechanicals made this one the shizz.Rainbow trail out to 285 and then road dh for six miles.Turns out Joe puts up one helluva draft.About 35 miles total and a high of around 12000ft.Not to be missed if youre near Salida.

Snomass G3

2008-08-13T18:41:00.000-07:00

Chilled with Jamas at Vail for a couple days on the way to Snomass.Sick riding in Vail.Snomass was wet and snotty.Joe managed 4th while in the first race, T flatted and dnf'ed. T gets pissed and comes back to win the Super-D. Joe boycotts super-D.Sunday was a slopfest.Both of us went down multiple times in the mud.All tearoffs were pulled and then the goggles themselves.Try DHin with no goggles in the gnar,eyes squinted, head leaned back, fender not workin for shit.Totaly awesome.T manages to get 2nd, not because he rode well but because everyone else sucked worse.Joe made it down injury free.Headed to Salida for some sick All Mtn.Lates.

WHY DIDNT YOU EAT MORE WINGS PUSS

2008-05-19T00:07:00.000-07:00

Scared? yes you were. Wings are scary. Twenty are fo sho! THATS why you lost. Dont compete against J-real when hes buzzin. Hogans wings were clean tho. J had some to clean up. Hogan was full. Who was the real winer. Nash was. What a baller. Cant wait for our young talent to get bout it. Gotta follow the lead of dad. Just wait til thurs. Youll see. AF reprezent. Stay tuned.

Hogans b-day Pumptrack sesh

2008-05-11T21:51:00.000-07:00

If you missed it, you missed out. Beer, food , and lotsa pumpin plus an impromptu hot lap sesh made this one an event not to be missed. Salty takes the win. I still dont know why its so fun to ride in circles and get super winded. Who cares it rules. Apparently i suck at taking pics, whatever.Here are a few of the best of the worst.
