Default Ya want to see something cool?

Team work! This picture brings tears to my eyes. Who are the guys catching this rider. That is the coolest thing.
I had to say something. The two stepping up to catch him get an award from me for sure.

I believe the rider is Calepic. Craig that you? The tall fellow on the left in the yellow helmut is Tom.

But yes an awesome spotting job.

Default I think this means its time for a team work award.

We should have a team work award for people helping people. It is one of the the things that get way over looked. I can't tell you how many tubes,C02 i have used and trail side repairs I have done for people and I know I am not the only one. But catching people in mid flight is just taking it to another level for sure.

That rock could have been his face. I wonder how it turned out for him.

The following image was from our 2006 Mammoth/Lower Rock Creek trip. The rider is my friend Frank. The safety net that day was SPROCKETHEAD. The photographer was yours truly.

The camera flattened the image a bit! Still looks sketcky if you asked me. Funny thing- rather than focusing solely on Frank's line, we were wondering in what direction he would fall. Didn't matter. He cleaned it!!!

That's what I am talking 'bout!!! Rumor has it the Karate Monkey will be making an appearance in Mammoth in a few weeks. Is this true? If so, I may have to go!
