Picked up Lou at 7:15AM then on to meet $teve.oo for some grub at the meet-up point. Then onto meet some old friends at a sweet freeride spot. NOT in this state and please don't ask cause I wouldn't tell 8) .
We meet up with the rest of the crew then onto Jeff's house to gear up and head to the new freeride goodness. Turns out Jeff has some warm up goodness of his own in his backyard. we sample:
$-O about 10 feet high in in the AM

starts out with a roller to another steeper roller with 2 footer off then into this 10 footer:

And you can see in the above pic 2 more gap jumps to finish the trail. But the trail really wasn't finished until you got to the 80 foot long 4 foot high wobbly skinny. sorry no pics but I saw a few full pulls and even a backdoor thrown down 8)
Then it was off to another location.
I took a bite of the T-Bone:
