Thread: Horsethief drop in @ Fruita is a rough ride nowadays

Nice work. I used to ride that in flip flops

Is that 'the thing' now? Wearing your little painter's cap under a road helmet so you get a visor?

That's nothing = here's a clip of me eating shit on it Mary\\\'s Loop and eating it on Horsethief Bench on Vimeo

Hell, heres a tutorial on riding it: http://www.superhumanmag.com/content/view/1674/48/

WTF are all those people standing around on the side? Is it normally like that? If so, that's a junk show of epic proportions.

One other element that they don't mention in that clip is the lack of traction due to the sandstone dust that accumulates in there. Makes those few turn moves at the bottom all that much more challenging...

For the record: That was some sort of Trek product showcase/demo/multi-day event thingy....normal busy weekends aren't necessarily that bad. Actually yes, yes they are. It is always a complete shitshow, 24/7/365....trails clogged up with Front Range, Lycra sporting, cap under the helmet, carb counting weenies....nobody is having any fun, ever, just showing up to be part of the scene. ...
