Got up at 5:30 am and met up with Andrew around 6:15.  From his place we left together and carpooled with Frank for the 3hr drive.  Beautiful weather for sure, and a whole day set aside to ride down the mountain..over and over again.  I was worried when I saw Andrew and Frank throwing on all the extra armour: neck braces, spine protectors, hip pads etc.  I just had protection for the elbows, full face helmet and my old mx knee braces (which I hate).  The trails were pretty fun with tons of obstacles and features, but I rode conservatively and kept things under control.  Tons of sweet ramps, drops and kickers..especially in the park - you could really get some great air or get really hurt.  We also met up with Andrew's friends George and Tristan.  Later Tristan slipped a pedal and nutted himself pretty bad (blew apart his seat so something took a hit).  I flatted once and got a ride down the rest of the hill on an atv which saved some time, but I did waste quite a bit of time trying to coax a tube into my tubeless tire. Finally I was back in the lift line when I noticed my other tire was flat too.  Luckily it wasn't damaged - just lost its air somehow??  As the day went on I noticed my bike handling less than optimal so I figure the suspension needs some major tuning now.  Survived the day without crashing, but my ankle swelled up afterward, so I must have tweaked it somehow.
