Cam Zink's been editing up a storm as he recovered from shoulder surgery. Last week, he sent us a video where he and his friends attempt a first descent on 'Slide Mountain' and this week, he's doing the mountain bike equivalent of powder skiing on scree. Is the off season recovery going to make a YouTube star out of Cam?
Haha, it's in the details. This thing held up incredibly well in and out of Rampage each day, smashing. A filmer rolled my side by side and bent the rack... Bent it back and used it again at Rampage this year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=96iDh0nGO7Y
Haha, I've always wanted to ride down rider's left on that. Then again, driving from Reno/Carson to Mammoth there's something that looks amazing to ride every couple miles.
@patrickbatemanworldtour89: There is a bigger, completely bald mountain southeast of the lake that I tried to get to by truck, but the road ended at the gate of a pumice mining operation. There is some wayto drive around these hills - there are lots of forest service roads on maps....usually I'm too busy trying to get in a few practice runs at Mammoth to devote much time to exploring.
@endlessblockades: I can't help but agree with your priorities there. I've heard of some real gems on the way though, and I'm not just talking about the original Schat's.
