    I agree. I'm a competent enough rider to want to challenge myself and do the harder lines, but I'm just plain not fast enough to necessarily keep up with the experts RACING through there. it's a weird decision: stay in sport, do better (but still not necessarily a podium), and don't get to ride the cool stuff, or race expert, do a lot worse, and get to ride the cool stuff. :?:

    I think that is Christine Hirst. is that Rando on a new glory off to the left though? doesn't look like the 09 upper link on the glory :-k ;)

    That will change i promise!!! Ride more, and make it a point to ride outside your skill level.. And don't be afraid to fall, and wear protection, helmet, knee/ shins, elbows, pressure suit.. That way, when you do fall you realize your ok and keep going :beer:

    That's all i can tell you.. It took me scaring myself falling, backing off...l then getting mad for still being slow to push myself to be a better rider

    Def. not Rando Bry.. It's an old Glory you can see the shock cover at the bottom of the frame under the crank arm.. What time are you heading up to Mammoth Bry?
