Sol Vista

I went to Sol Vista on Friday with Jeremy and met up with CT and some other buddies. It was a great day of riding, no one was there because of the race at Crested Butte. Intense was there doing bike demos, so I took a few runs on their new 951 and an Uzzi. The 951 felt pretty crappy due to soft rear shock and stiff fork, terrible combination, not to mention the less than stellar Kenda tires on it. I wasn't impressed, but that was hardly the conditions to be evaluating a bike frame, but none the less, pretty lame of intense to not have any other setups available. But it was cool to get a few runs on someone else's bike. The Uzzi was a ripper. I felt like the bike was WAY faster than I was, it was ripping the berms and floating the doubles. Definitely a fun bike.

Jeremy on the 951, he said he didn't really like the suspension either, but he really liked the bike.

Here is what not to do...misload the bike rack and cause the chairs to stop and damage your bike and the one next to you.

Same dude that misloaded bailing on Ski Jump. (He is getting famous here.)

Finally, had a chance to hit the jumps on Cougar, they were always there under the lift but I never made it there til Friday and CT helped me through them. Here is Jeremy on Stiletto.

CT, setting it down smooth.

Me on same.

CT, making the long double into left berm look so easy, but I still haven't sucked it up yet and tried it. Maybe when Loo and Ziska are here provoking me.
