Venue was Mnt Pinos, NW of L.A. The place is unreal, not a ski resort, just one of the State parks. Scenery is breath taking, I think the highest point was 9500ft. We basically rocked up with 2 ferkin great trucks (lots of those going spare over here as you can imagine) and shuttled to the top for 4 runs down. 8.5 miles of chunk, kickers and really quick ST. I actually loved riding in the rain the last run down....the rest of the riders were crying like babies....pics below:

We had a couple of guys on DH rigs, but AM 6" travel bikes were the flavour of the day. Such a perfect place to test out tyres, technique and set up your bike.

This guy was on a Canfield Jedi This bike was flippin awesome. Industry 9 hubs, Saint everywhere, Acid Codes, Zocki 888Tis.....a $10k bike. It just looked like he'd covered himself in glue and ran through some boutique bike shop !! Plus an $800 helmet to boot.....he was a drug dealer I think. (He was posing for the camera also, he wasn't actually that bad a rider he couldn't keep his feer glued to his pedals !)

We all did a pretty nice 6ft'r and the girl on the left did it first and landed the furthest into the transition.....plus pretty darn hard to keep up with.
