Uhhhhh, maybe 10/1?

And I am Jonesin' for something different... But Santa's Village sounds like a better bet for learning to jump more gooder.

 

Derp, 10/1. I'll be driving from the OC if any one wants to ride with. I've got a crew cab pickup... Very comfortable for 2. Slightly comfortable for 3, cramped for 4.

 

I'm doing the Grizzly up there on Saturday....will probably do a small XC ride with my wife on sunday before we head home.

 

Working Sunday's right now. Which totally gives me a bailout on my excuse that I will be tired after the Grizzly100

 

are the jumps lippy this year?

 

Yes, Very in most cases. Although, I'm a moderately shitty jumper, and there are only 2 on Party Wave that I consider bucky. I find that as long as I am accelerating into the face (lip) I'm fine. Even if I'm being conservative (almost all of the time) and I know i'm going to case it slightly in purpose... they key is to be off the brakes and be gaining speed as you approach the takeoff.

 

@skyungjae I was up there once this year. I am a shitty jumper, yet I was getting the feel of the jumps pretty well for me. I think they were toned down compared to previous years. However, a lot could have changed between Memorial Day and today.

 

I think they're just as lippy as they have always been. You just get used to them. 650B, Zzyzx and some others more lippier (if that's even a word) than their original state.

 

I certainly don't get used to them by taking 6 runs a year!

I don't know the names of the jumps. I do know that most of the jumps on Westridge seemed fine. I don't do the section that I think is called "muscle beach" up on "Party Wave."
