OOS MOGA

Rode a few demo loops with Jason and Frank. What traits did the Banshee have that appealed to you? I spent the day riding demos until I closed the place down. Must have rode that route 20 miles during the day. Close my eyes and all I can see is the demo route. Even though most of riding is all mountain my favorite bike of the day was the Santa Cruze Blur. 22 pound full suspension glided over everything

I think the overwhelming feeling from people I rode with yesterday- anything by Santa Cruz is excellent.

I’d love to get one but I need the 3.0 tire to feel confident .

I would like to say that I did, but I have never attempted it. You probably saw the Seth video with a few other people riding it. My buddy cracked his carbon rim on the drop.

I feel like someone on one of our rides cleared it going up...
Maybe I am on crack but @ridgehog @Mr. E Man @BPaze were there that day and maybe they can remember or tell me to stop sniffing.

Anything uphill, the Prime was superior, less bob and small bump compliance kept the rear wheel locked to the ground. Could also be my shock, I have a DVO Topaz, which is awesome. It wasn't the tires either because the DHFs are the best I've ever ridden. They will be on my bike next year. My cousin also demo'd the Blur and he also preferred it over the Mojo. His Niner is 24 pounds which is already pretty light, but the Blur is insanely fast and doesn't ride like a XC bike at all.

Not without rear brakes! 😛
Did you get it fixed yet?

I decided to start hanging it from the rear tire instead of the front and the last ride was improved, still not fixed but working well enough to not crash into the back of Max unless it was on purpose LOL. Gonna wait until winter hits to worry about resolving the issue with either a repair or new brakes.

Think we go lost trying to find the Death March trail. Asked a few guys at the intersection where the race trail bears right. But they never heard of it. So we went right and eventually hit a nice rocky switch back and a fun climb before meeting red. We then got turned around so how and was deep in the park based on the GPS so ended up bombing down red to the fire road which made me smile. Just got a small taste of the park and will be reaching out for a proper tour at some point.

I think we went at it in the opposite directions so we may have cleared it going down, but damned if I can remember that was like 3 months ago. I think it also looks like some other areas on Skylands because the video, but if we went in person I have a feeling it would look much more challenging.

Did you get a chance to go down Warm Puppy rock?

At the major intersection of Skylands, Warm Puppy, New white, if you head up Skylands from there until you hit a fire road you would be looking up at the last drop of the triple.

Does some one have a cartoon like map which shows all these local names of these features? There's a good one like this for Sourlands

I don't even know what or where that is. Probably not cause I know that's a popular feature and most of the time were by ourselves

Warm puppy is a very large graffiti'd rock, that you can roll down. You would def know if you were at it. We need to do a ride up there again soon, I will probably be going up there again this weekend. I usually can't make it down south babysitting makes it difficult.
