October sessions

A few more trips this week. Some jump oriented, others to improve basic skills and cardio - while keeping it fun.

First of all, got lucky with light and focus and shot this pic:

 One of the drops got a complete overhaul. It got torn down a rebuild from scratch. The reason for this was that we started to miss the transition, and land this sucker to flat - due to higher and higher speeds . We are not fans of flat landings. So now it stands bigger, taller, and more fun. Pics dont do justice.

Green zone is landing area, blue is a flat section - you dont want to land there..

And here we go. Ive just hit the landing on this pic, Christian chasing me:

Now heres an interresting bike. Its the Banshee Spitfire - and whats so interresting about it? Well because even tho its a "short-travel" frame at 130mm, it hosts a 67 degree headangle, and even has the ability to be set at an super aggressive 66 degree (keep in minds this is a 5 inch bike). This bike is serious buisness - despite of its travel. It has a virtual pivot - like suspension system, and from my short time on it, it feel very nimble and flickable, I think of it as a short-travel All Mountain bike. The happy owner of this new bike is Christian - congrats, its a cool bike man.
