sunny Nam ride

[DHRFX Joe]

Weather got real nice today, sunny and about 55ish, so me and Tim decided to go on a nice 4.5 hour Nam trailride and snap some pics. My main goal for the ride was to practice my cornering, so we got some berm and drift pics. Trail conditions were actually surprisingly dry in all but a few areas on the preexisting trails (not the new nemba trail).

thanks man! luckily i came from a dh/freeride background, which, as foolish as it sounds, helps with trailriding to a great degree. it's so great to be able to flow any trail and not worry about getting caught up on a drop/jump/technical section.

build up your confidence, and i'm sure you'll be fine! scariest thing i did was spider in the snow/ice (off camber, rock chute take-off = absolutely no brakes or run ups).

Yeah, I've always been a lazy bum about going places to ride. We have great trails like 15 minutes away and I hate driving to ride. But, I've decided to go someplace else at least once a month this year. It's best to go with a guide, too. So for sure.
Sweet workshed, too.

The spider was still Much more death defing , when it had the bridge on it.
