I had a great time last weekend!! Another big thanks goes out to Joey from all the Michigan riders for all his hard work on the trails.They are friggen awesome!!! Southern Rocks was especially great. That trail really tests your ability to hold onto the bars. If you haven't been there already I strongly suggest making a trip there. It does'nt get much better than Windrock, TN.

southern rocks was the perfect place to test out our new Hopeys, and man do they work in the rocks "point and shoot" less arm pump better handling all from one simple device, money well spent.

Nice Pics, thanks for posting.

I didn't see any pics from the steeps above the jaw bone, or new trail from the power lines down to the spine trail, you get any shots of riding those trails?

Uh, even Lance says that Ricky Carmichael is the fitest athelete in the world and he still uses uses a steering damper. It's all about going faster for longer.

Your correct though that being built helps. The thing witht he Hopey is that it helps to reduce the strain on your wrist and lets you have a looser grip. Therefor, arm pump is reduced. I didn't pump up at all over the entire weekend at Windrock. That included several top to bottom non stop runs that included riding southern rocks. That said, I also rode indoor supercross 2 times a week all winter on my 250F.

In conclusion, the Hopey does help to eliminate arm pump and strain on your wrist. If you have ever brokes bones in your wrist or torn ligimants, you will appreciate it.

And yes, I paid for my Hopey. :nuts:

whats a gym membership cost for a couple years and whats a hopey cost, that said a gym membership and a hopey would be best. after breaking both wrist twice, then ripping the ligaments in one wrist in two, the hopeys the best part I've put on anything ever, if the bike tracks straight over rocks your going to go faster, or in my case I'm just going to go! :thumb:

is there any riding allowed out there on weekdays? with my rotating shifts, it's easier for me to make the drive on a weekday.

I am pretty sure that you can ride there 24/7 unless the trails are closed due to being too wet (winter).

Bring your kid out there, he rips.

If you dont have "a cool jersey or stealthy goggles" then NO you cant ride there. Joey has a dress code as well as a eye protection policy. Save up some cash go get you're required "riding apperall" and then you can ride out there.(Joey dosnt care if you wear jeans and a t-shirt. Just as long as you have a fullface and a bike you're welcome there ANY day of the week)
We are ALL from Mich. when we ride or race we just like to look like a team. (It helps come resume time.) Plus you must admit it does look good.
You too can have those "stealthy" goggles www.rockgardn.com (I know you want some)-JM
