Default AZ Spring Fling day 3

The weather was showing good chances of rain in Sedona for Saturday so we opted to just stay in Phoenix and ride South Mountain again. This time it was just us STR riders and Lance and George had driven in early that morning to join us. We played around a bit more that day and did some drops and other fun stuff like the video posted in the other thread. The weather was a bit cooler that day and the views were clearer.

Me about to do a little drop.


Steve taking flight (this was the drop we did in the video).


Craig on the same drop from a different angle.


View of Phoenix.


Me coming down the "spine" of the waterfall.


Craig getting some air.

My day 2 and 3 pics are mixed together here. National Trail. Sweet, sweet, sweet. Technical climbing and descending. I would never tire of riding South Mountain if I lived in Phoenix.

Here's my contribution:
#1 Rob on the waterfall.
#2 Unknown rider on the waterfall. Notice the chunkage (is that a word?) down at the bottom?
#3 Me grinding my teeth on the waterfall.
#4 Dell on the waterfall.
