Paul figures out the route down. 3700ft at the top 1900 at the bottom. The mini lap climbs 3-400ft so just over 2000ft for the morning.


Paul leading down on the downhill course. They were putting straw on the course so we stayed to the side then branched off.


Jake blazing some trail. There was one section he was in front that was super steep and Paul and I stopped and just laughed it was so crazy. Jake flatted when we were descending on the fast fire road. I figured one of us was going to flat.
Paul gives it a go.
Back on the downhill on the xc course with Jake ripping it up. Pretty typical with lots of rocks and roots. The best thing is to just let it go and roll cuz any sudden braking will probably send you otb. The lines just happen. Halfway down after Jake had led us down, we stop and Paul says that was the fastest he had gone all week. I am glad he said that because I was thinking the same thing and I had a hard time hanging on to those guys. Crazy fun stuff. Paul had the most spectacular trip over bar. He did the flip thing in the air. It was amazing. Thankfully he was not hurt. The ride was a great way to end the trip. Thanks Paul and Jenna for hooking it up.
