Default Ultimate Shuttle Ride
Ok, I'm not usually one for shuttle rides, but this one I just could not pass up. I'll let the pictures and youtube video tell the story. I'll just tell you there is a way to shuttle Holy Jim Trail. My day yesterday consisted of a helicopter ride, beers, 4200+ feet of descending down HJ, two flat tires, some brake issues, and an awsome ride.

I think that was his first ride in a long time. His brother drove the bikes up for us.

Looks pretty cramped in the chopper. How did you haul the bikes?

Were they strapped to the copter or something?

John wayne, however I was just reminded that there a several permits you would need before landing up there. Make sure you research this before attempting it.

We have done the drive up in a truck and ride down thing too, makes for a nice spur-the-moment thing. Helicopter to the top of a big mountain would ROCK!

If you hover a couple feet off the ground, you could huck right out of the chopper and not have to land.
