sorta... first time was 2 weeks ago when I voluntered for the ripper race... rode down with the sweepers so I could check it out. but it was a very slow ride down, stopping to collect signs, etc...
Today was different... it kicked my ass big time! I ate crow a good 6 or 7 times, hehe.
we just did 1 lap, then hit interriver for some dirt jumping.
Met another board member last night @ the art gallery for the night riding, and he was kind enough to be tour guide this morning!
thanks again Eric!
We rode corkscrew-salvation-pingu-pangor-empress bypass
I bailed twice on the giant wallride on salvation, but feel great that i at least tried it!
i walked around the angled teeter on salvation as well, but it doesn't seem that hard. maybe next time

we checked out the rock face on pangor, but its definately gonna take awhile before I hit that!

some of my bails were total noob mistakes... not looking forward enough and getting caught on a small obstacle... If looking further ahead I would of been able to judge it/ride around etc... oh well...
as they say,
if yer not crashing, your not riding hard enough :)
Definately looking forward to going back!
Gonna volunteer for the fromme ripper race next weekend, and try to do the same sorta initiation... Ride sweep to check it out, then head back later.
