Rode there today and I forgot how much f***ing fun it really is!!!!! Great time getting back in the saddle so to speak. It took me a while to remember that loose is sometimes better just keep moving and you should be good.
BTW, my little 5 + 5 has held up over many years at N* with some scrathces but nothing bad. I actually broke the frame bunny hopping a 8" log on a different trail, Not dropping the waterfall or anything else at flatstar.
If you want discounts at Northstar and a whole lot of other places, you really should get one of these:
http://www.snowbomb.com/tahoecard/summer/
One free weekday ticket to Northstar, and one free ticket to Kirkwood. A discount at Northstar the rest of the time. Free bike rentals. Free round of golf. Discounts at many local shops. Etc.
All for $20.
Bikes 'break' long before they 'break'...(straw-camel-back-etc)
I rode Sticks n' Stones on a 7X7, (when it was a new trail) that was fun!
thats some truth right thar.Quote:

Finally popped my Northstar cherry yesterday along with skiergirl and davep. Man would a rad place...but god damn if I didn't spend nearly the entire day 'getting used to it'. I.E. the looseness, the generall rocky-gnarness, drops to flat...etc. finally thought I was getting a little more used it to on my last run of the day where I was able to stomp and ride through some stuff that was previously stopping me, but man I still have a long way to go....can't wait to get back up there.
I should probably not forget my socks next time too...heh.
...and time to go shopping for a fullface....
i'm headed to N* tomorrow. i heart weekdays there. it's like yer own personal playground. don't suppose any other mags are headed there tomorrow?
while i do like picking my way down the rocky old-school N* trails for a few runs, my last day there it was hard to resist just doing laps on livewire down to gypsy. livewire = sweet. the low-rise Sunline bars just arrived, so i'm hoping the front end geo on the uzzi is now dialled.
btw arty, thx for pointing out the snowbomb option.
:yourock:
Damn! Why did I forget about the Snowbomb card? Good reminder. Hell I should have just bought a pass...
Yesterday was fun. Mr. Shoelaces needed some heckling. Hell I needed some heckling. Nice work to DaveP for stepping up to bigger drops and doubles! Should have ridden Livewire much earlier in the day! As much crap as I gave DaveP about his stoke for the dust abating sprinkler system, that trail is $$ especially if you actually get any air :redface:
