Falling Creek 12/7-12/9

Great weekend at Falling Creek.  I got the step down in (sorry no finished photos) and it got really good reviews, I was having a ton of fun on it and it should give really good speed to hit the last jump.  With that being said I didn't get the last jump in but I did give it a solid effort. The ditch witch decided it wasn't gonna happen. I rolled the track to the inside and couldn't walk it back on, some of the guys were pointing to a new looking split they said they think gave it the extra distance to stretch off. We had about 20 people out and they were all shredding. There were people from Danville, Martinsville, Pulaski, Roanoke, and Lynchburg that I know of. Really cool to see.

12/7/12

12/8/12  Love dirt.


12/9/12

Without these dudes it would be a lot different.   Thanks to John, Randy and Jess for holding me down.


Good to see, shredding together everything from 20" to DH rigs.  Good Fun.  Sunday was cool to see.

Pacific Northwest - Yeti Cycles

Pacific Northwest - Yeti Cycles from Yeti Cycles on Vimeo.

After years of seeing imagery of the lush green trails from the Pacific Northwest have overwhelming influence on the media and culture of mountain biking, we decided it was time to go experience the rich dark loam of the coastal regions for ourselves. So in the spring, we dusted off our trail bikes, packed up the rig and headed north to see what we could find.

Its the end of another successful season for the Steve Peat Syndicate and the SPS find themselves celebrating this with a day of fun in and around Sheffield.

Catch up with the whole team as well as Josh Bryceland as they tear round the newly built Parkwood Springs, an inner city trail centre, race go-karts just down the road and finish the day off with burgers and beers at Peaty's own residence.

Falling Creek 12/1-12/6

Been slacking on the blog, but it's for good reason. I've been working and working. This post will just be a conglomerate of stuff that has happened since I last posted. The Ditch Witch goes in the shop on Monday so I've been giving it a push as much as possible to get things to a good pausing point. I should be able to get to the bottom by Sunday evening. I'm really looking forward to it. I was able to give people a reason to go passed the Happy Ending, now I need to give people a reason to go passed the step up. I'm not gonna write too much, we've had some cool days out there lately, everything from getting stuff done to awesome jam sessions. Watching people progress is always really rewarding, especially when you've given them something to progress on.

Got the roller before the step up in, it got good reviews.

Got the roller in after the step up.

Working on the step down/drop thing now.
