Sunny day in the bike park

Post by Katie »

Saturday was Roland and my 6th anniversary, so we decided to spend the day riding in the Mt Washington Bike Park. Rocky Mountain was doing a promo day and had demo bikes to ride, so after a few runs on my trusty Slayer, I borrowed a Rocky Mountain Flatline (a real bike park bike). Turns out the Flatline handles very differently than the Slayer.

Roland followed me with his helmet cam for my first run on the Flatline. He managed to capture a particularly fine piece of riding:

Here is a lovely photo of Roland representing Tripleshot at the bike park:

Yes, it actually left several marks... and some swelling... It also left a few new gouges in my helmet!

I must have looked rough when I returned to the Rocky tents a few runs later, cause Wade Simmons came over and said "woa you look like you went DOWN!" and asked if I was ok.
