So one week after getting thumped really good out in Alpine, I was back out there.\u00a0\u00a0 This was sort of a test to see how my knee was going to be since I had a big ride planned for a few days later and it was\u00a0a little tender.\u00a0\u00a0 The climb when as expected but the\u00a0knee was uncomfortable by the time we reached the top.\u00a0\u00a0 (Actually, some part of me is\u00a0nearly always\u00a0“uncomfortable” by the time\u00a0I get to the top).\u00a0 Enough yapping here are some pictures.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0This thing is steeper than it looks.\u00a0\u00a0 I swear it looks to be easier as a huck.\u00a0 Steve is always impressive out here.<\/p>\n

I hit the “Cornroll”.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It is not a bad roller at all but it does mess with you visually as you have to do a quick get up move over the crest of rock which requires you to get up on the front of the bike a bit before getting sliding behind the bike for the roll.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Frankie aka “Monkey Butt”\u00a0 joined us for the ride today.<\/p>\n

I think this one goes into the “Stupid Human Tricks” Catergory.<\/p>\n

\"Stupid<\/p>\n

I had not really planned on doing much of the stunts today with the knee and all but I ended up giving a few things a go.\u00a0 This bit is a roller or it can be launched.\u00a0 I had always rolled it before, but today I worked on launching it.\u00a0 It took me several tried to get enough balls hit with speed, but it felt really good when I did manage to pull it off.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It was cool to make some unplanned progess.<\/p>\n
