particle rocking a vagrant? sexy

**Particle** · 07-13-2006, 07:38 PM

awesome pics AC! Great riding with everyone for sure. The ones you didn't know: white helmet is motionboy, far right is Ryan a non-magg friend of his.

Altachic topping out on Puke Hill:

Wildflowers are going off right now:

Semi-artsy shadow pic at the armor-up point:

motionboy above desolation lake. I was hoping he'd rail this turn but he threw on the brakes instead and stopped...oh well. still kinda cool:

This section dropping into Mill Creek had such awesome Indian Paintbrushes in the sunset light I had to stop and snap a pic. Lisa with her ever-present shit-eating grin:

a few spine pics, I'm sure Steve and SkiingBear got better ones but for your enjoyment:

This was funny. At one point there were 3 riders coming down the spine - Steve L. rider's right, then motionboy, then skiguide. I grabbed my camera, quick

Motionboy got hung up first.

...then skiguide:

...and finally, it was just Steve at the bottom.

mb on the last bit after cleaning it:

Nice pics! It must really suck to live in Utah!

**motionboy** · 07-13-2006, 10:09 PM

Skiingbear post up you pickety pics... Yeah Utah sucks, it is no fun at all. There is no riding or skiing. ohhh I got demoted to can't remember status by Altachic. Really i just like to have something to complain about.

Sorry man, I really tried to remember, but didn't want to put the wrong name. Good meeting you as well.

**SkiingBear** · 07-13-2006, 11:54 PM

Sorry 'bout the delay...here they are.

Particle came by with some speed...I barely had time to get the camera set and he was already going by. I did catch a couple as he passed.

Then a little scenic shot looking out from the spine over Desolation Lake.

Next up...skiguide.

Steve showing us how to ride the high line.

Motionboy setting up the same line...

Lynx putting on a show.

Skiguide sequence on her second trip through.

Motionboy making his own line.

Another of Steve. Lovin' the lighting...now if only I could keep the camera level...

And finally a little panaramic stoke. The haze in the air was just right to get that layered effect from the mountains. Kellie summed it up best...

thats what you get for being a first-year mag

cool riding with everyone! Particle, you should get Lisa hooked on the maggete thread, it would be rad to ride with her some more

**CommanderBaker** · 07-14-2006, 12:05 PM

beauty pixs on the spine - that red is so rich and deep.

**stump832** · 07-14-2006, 01:38 PM

Nice pics all. I especially like the ones of the flowy singletrack. Kind of makes me missing bike (though the gym is awesome).

**fineline** · 07-15-2006, 03:42 PM

you guys suck for making me jealous.

bah!

**Son1cdeth** · 07-15-2006, 09:25 PM

nice pics....looks like a great crew.

For us non utards, what are the stats on that ride? Vert, length, terrain type?

**SkiingBear** · 07-15-2006, 09:51 PM

Here's the information from my Polar:
9.6 miles
1060 ft vertical
The initial climb is brutal (hence it's called Puke Hill), and then there are 2 or 3 smaller climbs before you descend.
