Downhill The "Elitists" do Bootleg

OK dude getting stuffed at end was priceless! Love the laying there with the bike ontop!
Thank god it was slow speed (not that it didnt hurt) but the feet wiggling from under the bike is priceless!

Hope all had a good trip looks like alot of fun!

 

The Boys asked me "Is there anything we can do?" and my reply was "Yes, get the bike off of me!!!":lol:

 

Oh man was that you getting tapped out by the bike?

 

Yes, I am the "Dude" you speak of!!!! :lol: I cleared the whole chunk section and then was going to slow and put my tire right into a rock which sent me OTB. Like my Superman imitation???? My Chiropractor just loves me!!!!

 

Ok I will try that on my next video post. Thanks for the info..Just a rookie on this video thing but I am learning!!!!:beer:

 

Yeah I saw the lack of speed into it and watched it just go up and over! Sorry if I had know it was you I would have stated "what the hell were you thinking?" LMAO
You of all people know better than to trudge into anything remotely gnarly with no speed! :clap:

Im glad all is well, I think we all go blank from time to time! Not that Roger isnt a good guy but Id have guessed him before you! LMAO Sorry R had a spare elbow to spread some dig in the ribs!

 

The video makes it look even slower than we were actually going!!! My problem with that section is that I never have enough entrance speed to make it through smoothly. Oh well, it's my trials background (motorcycle) that gives me grief, I always preferred slow, technical stuff. Doesn't work so well on a DH bike. I guess I need to learn how to track stand!!!

 

I'm so sorry the bike didn't get taken off sooner, sheesh. this is what I get for asking if you're okay before doing anything #-o

and +1 for lotsa speed. seriously, i feel really sketchy riding slow now...

 

Great video Bryan. :bang:

Thanks for RR and the stunt at the end of the video, Denmother. Glad to hear you're okay!!

 

Sooo, were exactly is Bootleg at anyways???

 

right under the VOR for las vegas airport. does that help? :lol:

(it's in boulder city nevada)

 

Yeah a little, I want to go ride therenow

 

No dear, it's a Mountain Bike Park operated by the City of Boulder City, NV.

http://www.bootlegcanyon.org/ (web site is down unfortunately)

 

no, I'm just a jerk :?:

but yeah, it's totally public, just check out denmo's link. definitely a great place to go brush up on your technical skills.

but seriously, I'm not lying about the VOR, the access road for that is the shuttle road. anyone with an aviation map can find the trails within about 100 feet

 

Thanks Mucho........Whats the shuttle like? Cost to ride?



Oh and DenMom called me Dear....I feel all special now

 

umm, depends on if it's a private shuttle, if you self shuttle, or what. not completely sure on the prices, check with denmo on that.

shuttle's not bad though, it's a few minutes, and another 5 minute HaB to the top from there. more than worth it for 1800 feet of super sweet DH though :bang:

 

Ok, so do they have a private shuttle service at all, or do you have to set up your own all the time?

 

The local bike shop has a paid shuttle service. It is seasonal so you have to call to find out the availability. http://www.allmountaincyclery.com/shuttles.html Otherwise you have to provide your own. You can drive up and leave a vehicle at the top but it is best not to park where the shuttle truck does their drop off!!! There are various pick up spots but you have to drive down a dirt road for a ways before you get to them.

You are special!!!! Prices are listed on the link I provided!!!
