Padded shorts! WOW!

:D <----- JEALOUS

There's no way I could have survived this week without the padded shorts. After about 100 miles or riding for the week I was still saddle sore and had numb spots but it would have been unbearable without.

Should we call you Lt. Dangle now ? :D

As a mountain biker myself this course sounds very intimidating and fun at the same time. Just word of advice:

Next time you come to a group of stairs, instead of riding down them, pre-load (if you have suspension) and jump down to the bottom. Not only will you look really cool doing it ( especially with a mullet ) but it can become very productive if you are chasing some turds, I mean bad guys ;)

Yeah we rode down steps. That was very intimidating at first. We went down a flight of 10 steps. My first attempt I got all jacked up. I had to be "rescued" by the intructor.

This is a pic from a class I instructed. We were doing stairs, the first level was 3 steps, a short landing and then 8 steps. I couldn't "rescue" this guy at the bottom of the 8 steps and the two guys that were supposed to be down there didn't catch him. He did a total "endo" and came out OK though.
