Like titles says. Used a tube last week due to old valve not holding. Seems all the gunk from the tire migrated to the inner tube. What sez you guys? Ideas? Cheers.

Considering this surrounds a lake, it's not a bad destination when it is hot AF. Have a swim or two and recharge a wet towel around your neck. Plus plenty of shade.

Looks like park to me. I see features to shred boost send and gnarl.

Geeze. While going down those steps isn't really too much of a challenge in a technical sense, I always get off my bike and walk down simply because of the rebar sticking out of the logs. Growing up dirt biking, I saw a guy get his leg impaled by rebar out on a trail and that really put the fear in me of pointy metal objects. While I don't think I could clean the steps going up, I don't even try for the same reason. 

My welding shop would give you ptsd then. This Barry guy is insane tho. 4 laps? how believable is that even?

I got more worn out doing a hard 10 miles at Walnut Creek than an easy pace 26 miles of Lake Georgetown...
 

 

even tho it's Christmas I'm calling bs on this one. There is no way in hell. Nut is pg13, Jorge is xxx.

Lago Jorgevilla deserves to be in the hardest discussion. I remember when Russell to Hogg and back was a full day of wtf. The scenery alone of a full lap puts it up there for fav.  Thirdly the oh chit factor of no bailout makes BuenoAqua Trail high on the the balls list. It's like a 4 hr jackhammer to the taint....or TaintHammer...if you will.    Actually I now petition to officially rename that 26 mile beast to TaintHammer.

I love Thing. I would high five that hand in a box every day!

Thanks...Porta pottys??? They don't have a clubhouse/repair/rental shop with a real bathroom?  Hmmmm.  Thanks for the answer but can you elaborate on the progression aspect? No send to full send? Thanks

Hey Mojos, SM virgin here. Only ridden 2 parks, Trestle in CO and Highland in NH. Trestle didn't really get to push it since I was with my girl and riding Green World most of the day. Highland was small but amazing and the progression was something else. By the end of the day is was really easy to clear the tabletops after learning the course through multiple runs. Felt like going noob to sender in five hours and I didn't want to leave. 

Is Spider Mtn anything close to that because I'm pretty much xc. Will I be tearing it up and dying to go back by 4 pm? I will be taking my xc Voodoo Canzo 29er with stans crest wheels, full pads and full face helmet, unless I dust of the Titus Switchblade 26er. I'm hoping the progression that I seek I will find. Should we get there at open or will I get my jollies by getting there at noon? What's y'all's experience?

Sincerely,

Buffalo Slaghammer

Here on Shoal Creek Blvd, it poured steadily for a few hours.

It or you?

Happy Cracksgiving!!!! Anyone know someone who can weld aluminum? 😜😜 I am thankful to know the Browns are having a great season and have their own mariachis!

I ran my crossmarks bald to see how it do. It does.

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

Sorry I meant penisulia.

My fav RV camp spot in Texas is the west side of that middle nub.

Many wrecks at the trail-to-water transition at the bottom of the Root Drop back in the day. I don't recall anyone wrecking on the way down.

Also (IMHO) true OTB's are less likely these days due to improved bike geometry. Old school geometry tended to be steep and twitchy + bitty wheels. 

I dont know, to me Root drop looks like a OTB, KO, Drown trifecta.

Youz guyz

So what you're saying is you had to walk this bump?

Took him long enough to throw a rock. I dont have that much patience.

Hoss vs. Ditka????
