overtheedge took some nice shots of Ginger, the triple black diamond trail :shocked: at Bootleg Canyon we rode last Saturday.

I've tried to explain to some folks how this trail resembles a 5 point pitch more than it does a mountain bike trail, but these pictures overtheedge took do a better job.

I'm showing off the scrapes on my new helmet after taking a header to the rock I'm sitting on. Thank God for full face melon guards.

I love that trail – but I can only do about 2 runs before I’m wasted.

Oh yeah and here is one option (-BB- making it almost all the way…)

Nice pics!:clapping: I wish I would have tried Ginger on my first run, rather than my 5th, 'cause I was tired before we started.

I've gone twice now - both times on a hardtail. First time on the Titan, second on the Sluggo. Sluggo was much nicer since it is heavier and stiffer.

Still have not made that chute (view from above):

Bootleg rules!! You ride there you can ride anywhere. Ginger is a bitch, but the steve peat line is redonkulos.

I'm not familiar with the Steve Peat line. I'd like to see some video of that or someone pinning Ginger.
