My new desktop wallpaper bro...

I just got back from one of my favorite trails here in Ohio, Vulture's Knob.

Every year it gets more and more converted from an XC course to FR. When
both loops are open there are about 23 ladders now with drops, jumps
(doubles) and a couple "just ok" DH's. There is still a great XC course
with mucho switchback climbs. I guess about 9 to 10 miles tops.

There are better trails but this one is closets to my house. JD was there
about 4 years ago knocked it but hey think that through.

Just talked to the guys at go-ride.com and I will be heading out there this
winter but soon I will be ridding the shuttles at Snowshoe then Iwill head
out to Co.!

Thanks for the pics and sharing.

Rossland is building a lot of stuff like that. This is what I look like when
I try it, in case you missed it the first time around

Shuttle car's my fav... sports shots with fisheye, IMHO, look like little
kiddie drops because all the pre-teen skaters use them... I'd personally
avoid use of it if you don't want to look poserish.

This picture looks like the middle part of the rider's
body (you?) is gone. Great illusion!

Is that Wade? Poserish.....? That's a good 18' to the landing zone, then
you hit the wall. Check the rider below for reference LOL! Poserish, man
I've never been called that before.... Other thing much worse, but not a
poser hehe.

A suggestion...

Stop hanging out with pre-teen skaters and/or
accept the fact that all lenses have their place.
Just like flash...

Claiming that the use of a certain type of lens is
"poseurish" is just plain ignorant.

The 10.5DX is always good for a little fun but I would never over use it.
Funny thing, he didn't see that's a 17-35 with a 1.5 factor. That's no
fisheye, it's strait top to bottom. BTW, great looking pano you shot.

Be mindful of your neck, my friend. After my minor pile-driver a few
months ago, I've been much more mindful of my own. BTW, where's the
dirt?

Ah, I thought you were insulting my riding skills. You're actually making
fun of how I take pictures, now I'm really insulted LOL! (not really)
