bummed I missed out. nice pics.
Nice Pics and writeup CS. There was no camping near you guys. Too full by Friday morning. Sorry we didn't hook up, but it worked out to be a good thing. I wasn't really feelin it yet and we had some mechanicals that really sucked. Better to have those issues on our own. Road some Friday afternoon. Had some good time Saturday with the fam down on Upper Helldorado with the Rock Crawlers. More riding Sunday. Caught Mr. AG heading out on his dirt bike from Willow Springs Road as we left town.
You only run into maggots on UPS so I didn't expect to find any of you on the Sovereign Trail. First time on that trail and I think it's my new favorite XC ride. Lots of techie options and gnarly climbs. I was happy when I got farther up one climb than one of the motorcycles. Of course it’s singletrack and you can find that anywhere in the world, so nothing to see here. Move along. What am I thinking, you guys only ride down :) Someday I’ll learn.
Good weekend. Hope I can get my fork fixed so we can go back down this weekend.
Very nice. Those shots are so sweet Craig.
And yeah, your lady is one tough girl to put up with you;)
I can't wait for Mr. AG to finish getting my bike dialed in!
These pics are great, CS.
I'll be riding vicariously through this thread for the next month or two.
Nice shots. I just got back from 4 days down there. Great weather except for the 24 hours of wind.
I should have asked, I had a feeling you may have known us via the internet.Quote:

AC, your bike will be ready tonight (not in that bad of shape, only needed one tube).
Did I meet you in Slickrock Bike talking to Dave?Quote:

Those are some great pics CS. Thanks for taking the time to shoot them.
Ready to go back...
I got ahead of the group on Friday after climbing out from "The Notch" and decided to take a few pics. They don't nearly compare to CS's, but they still show our style.
First I got myself enjoying the view.

So I waited for a while, did a quick safety check, then began to wander back up the trail looking for our crew, beacuse it felt like I was waiting for ever. Finally Bags came around the corner with CS hot on his trail. Bags said, get out the way, then gave me a tire tap and kept rolling. I didn't even have a chance to set up for any shots. Next thing I know, our crew was hauling ass. I quickly ran back down the trail, grab a spot below a little drop, looked up and started snapping away. It looked a little like this, but a lot faster.

drooooooooooooooooooooolllllllllllllllllllll...... .......
yahoo! I love this thread already. I should just set my TGR page to this thread.
Nice, nice photos. Making me super stoked to ride in general, and of course, to ride Moab soon! Great stuff.
As always, killer shots CS.
And so stoked to see Yentna representing the maggettes. sweeeet!!!
Great shots! I got to get down there/
Beautiful shots, CS.
Looks like you had a pretty damned strong crew that was absolutely killing it. :D
Mr. AG, those are the best shots of that little chute that you got of CS. Really show just how burly it is.
Bump for some I strizzle pics from last night. Pretty much a perfect evening and not many people were there. Ended up mostly spinning laps with bags and another dude. As the sun got lower everything sorta just came together and we said "just one more" more times than I can remember. So much fun.
Bags in action on the new lady:

And the other dude. I never really noticed how out of place that water bottle looked until seeing the pictures. Interesting.

Awesome shots CS (and everyone else!).
Heading over there this weekend with a good sized crew. Any other mags going to be around?
Ahhhahahahahahaha. Fro with the water bottle. Classic. Hes got crazy clipless jumping steeze huh? Was he doing the impossible "comeback" jump....#2 lefty-righty backwards?
The question is, why Spec. even put h2o bottle bolts on the Demo 9. Gheyy.
You mean Felty? "Just pop it."Quote:
