    Hit it twice and thought it was real smooth and flowed real well with the trail.



    Tommy, sorry we never hooked up dude! I guess we'll have to get up there again soon!

    Exactly to both. I came flying of the hill before a little to far left and had to grab some brake. Flows really well. Even with that little bit I still didn't have to peddle to get to the top of that little up after it. One or two strokes and speed can me maintained.

    I was stoked that I made it to the green part at the end this weekend. that wall ride is in such a perfect spot: lots of speed, the need for a weird left turn, and a good kicker into it.

    hit the wall rides on velocity and flow too, and they're way legit. just gotta commit to it and it's awesome.

    Yeah this is the only one that I didn't pop off the end this weekend. I nailed all of them. Even though it's not always the best, damn it's fun.

    My favorite was the wall ride after "deep end" on Twilight Zone.. I have a video of myself getting a tad too close for comfort to the top

    I never got the stones to hit that one. just looks awkward to me. I'm sure it could make that corner 10x faster though.

    hey tommy, did you get a picture of me on the shotgun wall? I forget...

    Just got back from mammoth yesterday, this wall ride was so fun. It was my 1st time at mammoth and the 3rd time on my bike. I've been riding for about a month after a 10+ year break from bikes.

    This is the first wall ride I ever tried, it was pretty easy and gave me the confidence to try harder stuff. no pics, we were have way too much fun riding.

    Went back and tried the Shotgun Wall ride again. Shotgun Wall - 2
    Me - 0

    I suck, this time I hit the wall with speed, jumped into it and splat.#-o

    JFSH hit the wall and rode it till he ran out of real estate. Damn Jeff made it look easy.

    I think the trick is to really exaggerate how much you lean the bike over. go more than you think is necessary, and you'll be just right. once you get onto the knobs, it'll stick pretty well (I was surprised how well actually). then just ride it as long as comfortable.
