Horseshoe resort and blue mountain don't open to mtb until mid to late may. I think it would be a blast to go bombing down there on a fat bike in the snow and it's so compacted that it wouldn't be that dangerous. They're not doing bike rentals this year so I probably won't be going either.

Gotta get the kiddies doing DH.
The kids are going to scare me......both are risk takers......I don't know why.... bongsmilie
Probably around '98 I did a dual slalom on the snow at a ski resort. Bikes and snowboards.....though it was definitely different.....lower banks and jumps not crazy but the track was built more like a ski ds course.

I was thinking about juicing a taco lol

I'm considering getting one of these to go with my Big Green Egg. I'm tired of staying up all night to babysit a brisket
That's nice.....not cheap but nice.

Children are your hostage to the future :eyesmoke: Pot helps a lot, occasionally alcohol helps even better, hang in there.

Have to build the skills now before fear and self preservation ingrained into them. How many crashes did you have before the finish line? :D

Megavalanche is on my bucket list before I turn 40.

No I've knocked the wind out of myself a couple times but nothing serious. I don't take huge risks.

I'm guessing you have.
Yup.....missed a berm because I overshot a tabletop......basically landed in the turn and couldn't make it...the tall grass was hiding a stump. I was trying to keep up with someone very fast. I will never buy anything that has to take a beating out of clear plastic. I also shattered one of these that season. Not my pic but exactly what it was.

lol were you able to keep going? Modern mountain bikes have the iscg tabs for the bashguard on the frame now so you no longer have to use a crank based guards. Table tops are the only jumps I hit. I have a headspace about gaps and go around them. I cased a big gap, landed right on the bb/back tire, the bike stopped dead and I kept going over the bars...

Kinda like this guy but the gap was way bigger.

This is the trail, the gap I lost it on is at 1:17

No it stoped me fast! I jumped up to get back on but realized my chest protector felt loose and then it dropped. This was the trail. Right around the 2:30 mark that's one of my favorite jumps ever! You freaking launch out of the trees and drop-in to a big sweeping berm. The fall was a few turns before that. Those are just clips put together in that vid....the jumps are not in order.


Fun place.

I almost poisoned us both with rancid shrimp on Tuesday so I got her favorite peri peri chicken for dinner. It smelled so good driving home. First bite she dropped her fork and ran for the bathroom. I think we got someone else's order with extra hot sauce lol. Just touch a tiny bit on your tongue and it burns for a while.
