Last time I rode this trail (NASCAR) and the DirtBag was December 2011 when I injured the knee. Felt great to be back on the mountain again! (02.19.2012)

 Awesome!
The spit angle came out very good!
The trial looks amazing too!

Was this one ride with 2 cameras?

 2 cameras shooting at the same time. Syncing the videos during editing was a challenge. Razz I had to locate landmarks in the video as a starting and ending point. Camera

 Yes, I have done the same before and syncing them was tough.
My mac does have a cool feature where I can zoom in the clip looking at the millisecond, even though it helps its tough not getting the 2 clips perfectly in sync!

I commend you!

 I now need to take the Double out there. I was out at Bakers about 2 weeks ago with Chris V. Saw a lot of the new stuff. Looks good!

When you're healthy and ready hit me up and we'll do a few XC rides!

 I had thought about going down that line where I crashed but I caught up to a rider as I got near there and for whatever reason he stopped (not sure if you can see it in the vid). Didn't want to stop my run so I just veered to the right into that S turn which is really rutted now! It needs some love Smile


Lets plan to ride again soon! Getting my strength and endurance back!

 Getting stronger be the day. It's amazing how quick confidence and riding strength returns after time off. Hope your knee is healing up well Big Grin

 Good too hear! My knee is probably around 95% I'm debating if I want to do the March 4th race at Fontana or wait until the 25th and do the City Nationals. Don't want to push it. Smile


What about you? Gonna try some racing?

flag aceospades1250 (Feb 24, 2012 at 11:03)
 Depends. The doctors now think that the bones healed together too close, preventing me from twisting my wrist normally, and if they find interference then I won't be racing for a while. I'm hoping that's a slim chance though, they wouldn't go into detail until the CT scan comes back.

But yea I'd like to try some Super D at nationals. I've heard it's even better than DH as long as you don't mind some pedaling.

 Wow! So what happens if there is a problem? Surgery?

I'm with you on wanting to try Super-D. Razz Because I don't quite have my DH endurance back, Super-D may make more sense for me. We'll see. Razz


let me know how it goes with the CT scan...

 Not sure what my options are yet but I'm hoping for something non invasive.
