Post Canyon Part 2, Photo Thread!

Falling on your bike hurts bad!  I take these warnings seriously, but I still managed to crash and I have the scars to prove it.  We were fortunate though, there were 11 of us and no major injuries.

Charlie bringing his skills from the Tahoe area to 1 of the few rocky technical areas on the dog river trail.  Look at how serious Charlie is!

Another ladder feature, they are everywhere in Oregon.

Jeremy Benson the so called XC biker realizes that he might just give this freeriding thing a chance!

There just might be a reason Benson kills it on his bike.

Jay has got the freeride thing pretty dialed!

Yup, just another feature for Jay!

Bryce Phillips handles this ladder drop no problem!

Bryce rebating and stomping the ladder drop that almost ended his trip early!

Mountain Biking Post Canyon

My good buddy Charlie Berg decided to have his Bachelor Party in Hood River, Oregon.  The goal of this trip was to Mountain Bike our balls off.  We didn't waste our time or money seeking out women or strip clubs, instead we spent our days in the forest pedaling and jumping our bikes down the smooth well maintained trails of Post Canyon.

Charlie and his brother Pete organized a group of 11 of Charlie's close friends to converge and shred the trails that Post Canyon had to offer.  All of our ability levels varied, but we all managed to get some truly fantastic riding in.  Charlie has a group of great friends which makes sense because Charlie is one of the nicest and classiest guys you will ever meet.  He also rides a mountain bike extremely well.

Bryce Phillips setting up to send this air a little too deep.  He gave us all a scare when he over shot the trany and fell hard.  He got redemtion on the same air 2 days later though with a clean landing right in the sweet spot.

Me looking like I know what I'm doing at the top of the Drop Out trail.  This picture makes me look better than I am at mountain biking.  Thanks for nailing the shot Benson!

A little video of Jay and Nick.  Unfortunately Nick fell hard into the take off of the second jump. Lucky for him he only got a minor shoulder injury.
