Sometimes getting up a climb on a mountain bike can be an exciting challenge. This particular little climb in Sedona has been done by more than a few people I'm sure, but it takes a bit of work and some skills. At least 4 people in our group tried it multiple times, and it claimed several tires with pinch flats. Ride at it as fast as you can, drop a couple of gears and hop up the first ledge, then the second, then try to pedal to the top. A few came close but Eric was the only one that made it...

munro3 who put a lot of work into this comment:
Experimental physicist, Nicola Pescetto, discovers new subatomic particle while observing super-motion and anti-symmetry in the Large Cycling Accelerator (LCA) located in Kamloops, BC. Pescetto used a photography technique often referred to as transitional photography, or sequence photography, to capture the peculiar motion of the ½ spin Tillmann-Quark (also known as a Cork-Flip). The elusive particle appears to have a reverse rotation quantity of 1 and a horizontal rotation quantity of ½, thus defying symmetry. Though the ½ spin Tillmann-Quark was previously thought to be impossible and disregarded by physicists worldwide, it is now being described as the final piece of the puzzle to classical physics. Some are going as far as to say that the ½ spin Tillman-Quark will explain the final mysteries of the universe.
The Tillmann-Pescetto formula:
~½ = 2Pi + (½) / 2Pi +1 (V^2 – C^2)munro3 wins a

Sequence Saturday 34 - Ian Hylands sequence of Cam McCauls canyon gap flip. If you haven't figured it out yet winning has nothing to do with props, but more with making a well thought out articulate comment. This weeks winner had both,
chainrxn wins with this crazy comment:
| I once heard that Cam McCaul arm-wrestled Clint Eastwood in a seedy nightclub called The Alibi- an old IHOP that started selling beer to bolster lunch sales and never looked back. McCaul was about to lose, badly, when he remembered that Eastwood was ticklish in the scariest of all places...his bald spot.
McCaul reached out, and instead of manhandling his vodka-soaked short-stack of pancakes like Clint thought, he let his fingers do the moonwalk right over the shiniest place on the mans head.
Needless to say, Clint lost it.
Never before had such peals of laughter echoed through that dank, dark place. The cooks looked up from their toast a la whiskey. The diners looked up from their complimentary wine-cooler fruit-bowls. The hostess woke up for a brief second, mumbled something about Brett Tippie tipping wonderfully (a story for another time), and then fell back asleep in the defunct claw-machine prize bin.
Cam McCaul won something that day, and Clint Eastwood lost his most precious gift- the personal gravity that made him a star. Cam could now soar over canyons and flow down the steepest chutes in perfect poise...double your gravity, double your fun. |

Sequence Saturday 35 - Ian Hylands sequence of Cam McCaul airing over the Rampage canyon gap. This was a hard one to choose, the winner ends up being
Savaninja with this comment:
| Newsflash: Helicopter crash in Utah. A very small helicopter today crashed in Utah, the cause thought to be linked to the nearby mountain biking event: Red Bull Rampage. As the helicopter was passed over by an as-yet unknown flying object, failure of the aircraft's engines are thought to have occurred due to an ingestion of a large quantity of 'sick air'. Pilot testimony likened the object to two joined flying saucers, with one emitting a ratcheting clicking sound. The Pilot sustained minor injuries, the most significant of which was a hyper-extended stoke gland, but is said to be in an otherwise stable condition. Authorities have warned against further air traffic, as further large quantities of this air are expected to appear in the near future... |
