Found a quick spot to rest for a second. About 6 miles left to walk with a lot of gear :joy:. This trail is smooth as butter for the first 5 miles, then the way back down has a ton of little lippers you can get some hops on, insanely fun.

If you decide to keep going past 5 miles things get a little rougher. The spot from that photo is about 8 miles back and is the hardest section to get through. It’s about 50/50 odds for us falling either up or down every time. This time I thought a little more speed would help and nailea truck stopping rocks with each truck at the same time.

My brother was behind me and ate shit at a different spot at literally the same time. Third guy back had a good time lol. Also, NONE OF THIS GOES IN THE BITCHING THREAD. I love every part of mountain boarding , even the fails. It’s fucking beautiful up here and I got some hiking to do. Hope you all enjoy your Saturday!

Absolutely! Just made it home. My board has carried me so many miles that it’s only fair to return the favor once in awhile. I’m a little sore but nothing that smoked ribs and herbal remedies won’t handle.

These pics give me the same body horror nausea that I get from seeing someone’s arms snapped the wrong way around :joy::nauseated_face::face_vomiting::tired_face::face_with_spiral_eyes:

It’s… A lot. I was shocked at how many people turned up

Whole bridge and further back still full of PEVs

For sure a pretty big group. Recently Eskate representation has been minimal though. Maybe 2-3 out of the entire group per ride :frowning:

Boooo. Being overly stereotypical:

  • Esk8rs are almost always chill.
  • A lot of OW folks are cool.
  • EUC and Surron riders are mostly Dbags.
  • Scooter people can go either way.

I find this is usually split along the ninebot/cheapo riders (chill ones) and high-end scooter riders (all wanna be POS influencers)
