Who has a Mammoth trip planed already

Looks like I'll be heading up there the end of July through the 1st week of August. Nerdgirl, hope to see you and Luke up there. Was fun riding with you guys at Snow Summit last year.

 

Looks like I'll be making my first trip up this weekend. 7/23 thru 7/25.

 

Hey Banshee, you going solo? Can you send me any info to make reservations? I'm very interested in making this trip!

 

P.M. sent.

 

We rode there Friday and Saturday. There are still not enough DH trails open to warrant paying full price for a lift ticket (fortunately we had free ones, so we decided to stay and ride). Thunderstorms, hail and lightning closed the gondola early on both days. Wet pumice was nice but pedaling on Paper Route was draining. There is still mucho snow at the top!!!

 

I'm thinking 2 weeks (weekend of the 30th) for my 1st weekend, depending on a few things.

If anyone wants to go, let me know. I'd like people who are faster and don't mind hitting the blacks all day.

 

Bryan, I might be up for two weekends in a row, if I'm not too slow for you.

 

I'm fine with you. I just want people who are willing to ride pretty much anything up there. The weekend is more relaxing when I don't needa worry about whether someone can handle the riding.

btw, the sequoia has a 4-bike extension now, so things got much easier

 

I posted this on another Mammoth related thread, but for those who missed it--

If you click on this link:

And select the "Trail Status" tab, you can see which trails are open or closed that day.

I will be there in 2 weeks and I am sure that I will have fun-- Looks like any trail I would be riding is open, so yay for me! (I hope that the rest of them open soon for all you badass types )

 

Leaving for Mammoth T minus !0 hours and 30 minutes

 

What were you riding? We probably crossed paths at some point. I was on a Demo with gold wheels and handlebars with 3 guys on red and white Demos.

 

Leaving for Mammoth in T - 23 hours!!!!

 

I'll be up in Bishop from Aug5-11 or 12. I haven't commited on a day to ride Mammoth yet but most likely the 6 or 7th. Anyone going the same time? I'll be riding solo.

 

There are trails there that aren't blacks?

Oh yeah, Bryguy, nice photo of you on Flow Drop.... It really shows how big it is. Videos flatten it out SO much.

 

going up 8/5 - 8/10.......looking to ride on 8/6 (Friday) and 8/9 (Monday).........I will be on an orange Titus El Guapo.........other than that i will be at the blues apalooza drinking craft beer!!!!

 

it's so easy once you just do it. big, but easy.

I like this photo better though:


and btw, if anyone sees me tooling around up there, feel free to say hi. tall guy in royal kits on a raw M6 :wave:

 

Been up in Mammoth for 2 days now. Rode all day today. Trails are wonderfully empty!! Have 3 more days of the bike park and also will be doing Lower Rock Creek on Thursday morning (it has been freaking hot down there-- so a morning ride in LRC it will be).

 

I swear I thought I saw you today, but I wasn't sure if it was you! I think I had trouble deciding because Chewy wasn't with you... LOL

 

Going this Friday - Sunday, hopefully there won't be any lightning strikes to close down the Gondola this trip!

 

if it was monday, then no. I was only up there on sunday. if it was then, then probably. not many people with blue/raw M6's that look make them look like BMX bikes floating around

and how you can do 5 straight days of riding in the bike park is beyond me. my ability to hold onto the handlebar diminishes greatly after a little over 1.5 days...
