The Castle? I was on ebike and crushed that section....Dragon Scales is my fav... There was a cool section behind my condo, had a paved flow trial and was near the museum.

Speaking of ebikes, any luck getting one yet?

No, not the Castle. I’ve done two laps there and it was ok but I’m not super stoked on it tbh. I might like a lot more of the stuff here if I had an e-bike but for peddling the dh’s don’t feel worth the climbs so I’ve been sticking to more compact jump lines to get more bang for my buck. I’m mostly working on my jumping skills these days but slowly and taking baby steps since going down at 49 isn’t optimal.

This is that little bike park. The jump line I’ve been sessioning is to the left. It’s four decent sized hits in a row with an immediate return that takes about 3-4 minutes. I find repetition to be the best path toward progression so hot laps at spots like this make the most sense.

I know that park
Cool drop progressions too
I gave up on jumps
At 62 it ain’t worth it

I understand. I stopped all of my skiing big air shenanigans in 2007. That was also the year my daughter was born. Winter of 2006 though in Telluride? Lookout! I was going full throttle still. I can’t believe some of the shit I pulled off that year!

It’s hard to believe that was practically 20 years ago now.

First time out on a bicycle since mid-December, also first time riding the new Black Sheep Ti fork, which performed as expected.

Dirt roads, farm fields, and a little bit of singletrack.

Always nice to stop and see Belle the donkey at MettaBee Farm.
