    North Shore

    Some shots on the Shore:

     Started out with 7th on Mt. Fromme. Pretty flowy, 2 long log rides, and some good wood stunts top to bottom. 

    This log section was at the end of the trail, and it had a nice slope to it. Wire lath and roof shingles were attached to the top for traction.

    Craig enjoying the ride.

     Scott modulating that front brake.

    Next up we hit Ladies Only, an old school shore trail. More ladders, and some steep, gnarly, slidey sections near the end.

    Trail entry sign. It was a good call by the group to get in a single black run before we started hitting the hard stuff.

    Ivan flowing through a nice wood section. Yeah baby!

    Craig is my new photo whore this year. Dt, your out. To damn greedy about hab, vert, powergrips, and what the best trails are etc.Big Smile Sorry you missed out this year bro. 

    Scott adapted to skinnys and ladders real quick. Another angle:

    That's it for L.O. Wish I had more, but some of the pictures had poor lighting.

     Some bangs and bruises. Jim and Scott also had some nice scrapes being rubbed by their pads, but I didn't get any shots.

    Craig's knee prepped for Seymour:

    My bruised thigh:

    Tom's ankle:

    The second day we were all beat up and tired, so we skipped the Fromme climb, and opted for some more Seymour runs. CBC-Corkscrew- Boogieman.

    Craig on CBC:

    Jim's friend Jack. This guy charged everything, and anything on the trail. He would take off ahead of everyone, then squeeze in retry after retry. He'd get along great with Danno.

    Jack on a CBC zig-zag skinny.

    Scott perfectly aligned:

    Only shot on Corkscrew. Hitting the log skinny.

    Andy starting his cleaning of the middle ladder section area:

    Only shot I got of Jim.

    Scott:

    More ladderwork on BGM.

    The ending of BGM culminated with some steep rock slabs with different line variations, into the Piledriver drop. The drop has a tough entry, and you need to granny gear up the ladder ~15' and ride the remainder of the ladder off this big old tree stump sitting on top of a nice, sloped transition. There is a berm down at the bottom of the tranny, that leads into a 10' gap jump. The landing zone was hardpack, with a thin layer of loose dirt on top, making the runout very loose and sketchy. Maybe Craig will post some crash footage?Big Smile

    Jack was the first to send it.

    Scott-nose gear down.

    Great riding guys!
