We've got one on our local mountain as big as a footy field, but its probably unrideable. Boulders too big ha...

bobdabouse (Jun 25, 2010 at 1:10)

That gravel around the edge is looking like the nicest line. At that point I'm fine with being called a pussy if it means I get to live to ride another day

+ 6

kickitpinkbike (Jun 25, 2010 at 1:30)

You wouldn't be called a pussy if you go down the edge and a guy dies going down the middle you were the closest to dieing lmao!

Ramoned (Jun 25, 2010 at 1:40)

Put a reaaal big kicker at the top and just drop it on a hardtail... (:

+ 7

kickitpinkbike (Jun 25, 2010 at 1:44)

^^^^No, that defeats the holy epicness of the picture and the idea that what was unridable is beginning to become rideable! No grow some cahoones and go ride! besides its a river bed thats probably at least 100 feet long and so the top is way above the edge of the picture! lol
