Well, 6 of us Texas and Oklahoma riders made a great week-long trip out to Moab, Utah for some great XC, DH, and Trials riding. Some of the highlights of the trip included our SlickRock Night Ride, our snow-covered Porcupine Rim ride, our isolated canyon Trials ride, and some of the other guys can tell you about their near-death rock crawling adventures. Anyways, HERE IS A LINK to all of the pictures. Some of my favorites are posted below. Enjoy.

Riders: Stan (Caisso and Gray Santa Cruz), Jeff (ZOO! Pitbull and Intense 5.5), Patrick (Echo Team and Cannondale Prophet), Jack (Soul Cycles SESSION and Specialized FSR XC), Austin (Monty X-Hydra and Specialized StumpJumper) and Me, Ross (Echo Control).

As always, I wish i would have taken more pictures...and video, that always happens. I have some footage that I might try to make a short little video out of...we'll see.

I slept not. I am actually feeling pretty good. I had some anxious energy when I got to Jack's house b/c I really wanted to get back to Norman. I feel like I could go for a ride. Those pics should be posted at LEAST until I graduate...so Fall of 2009 ish.

That riding seems to be of the Sickness. Pictures are nice too. You bringing that crew out to colorado again this summer?

I can identify with the whole roadtrip/no sleeping/the excitement of new riding spots....

holy awesome. Was that secret spot really that good for trials? Sounds like a great trip, and good pictures too by the way.

Thanks for the info in the PM Patrick

I assume that picture of "Patrick dropping on the Prophet" was on Porcupine rim trail? I remember that drop - I think it's called the diving board? I ate shit off it and skinned my knee real bad there. Good times. Good times.

Looks like a blast!

Patrick · 03-21-2006, 10:47 AM

Yep, that was the porc rim.. Probably my favorite trail of all time. I looked at the high part of "the diving board", but the landing is almost completely flat
