JohnE Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Wow - Am I glad that we went up on Friday. I talked to 3 guys here at work that went up Saturday. One gave up in Golden, one took 2 hours to get from the Dino lots to Idaho Springs (and then bailed) and the third went to Loveland but it took him 3 hours. TOO MANY PEOPLE!

They got 14" in the prior 24 hrs, so between soft snow, comfy temps and sunny skies, it was almost spring-like. More snow in the forecast all week! Bring it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big mario Posted January 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 A public service announcement about that dumbass toll lane: If it says accident ahead, tolls waived, don't take the bait, the will still try to charge your ass if it clears and you are going more than 5 mph. Trust me on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should think it's obvious; you've been victimized by CDOT's facial recognition East Coast Profiling system designed to gently encourage repatriation.

big mario Posted January 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 '' don't @ me bro'' Awesome tidbit of conversation I was subjected to by 3 nitwit stoner brah shredders in the parking lot as I was changing out of my gear this afternoon. Other than that, an absolutely stellar day on the hill today, though I did manage to take myself out when I hit one of my own toeside trenches, folding the nose on the 195, and launching myself on my bhudda belly superman style, down about a third of the steepest pitch of roulette. Gave myself a good rib shot, which I didn't feel whilst leading our normal post ride no injuries toast, Though it is definitely making its presence known now. Crazy good turns made today by Dustin, Ice, James, Odd job, Yasu, and myself. Dude, from what I saw on that first run, you are going to rip on that new virus once you get it dialed in. Scott, ejoy that new prior, and let me know when joe is ready for some one on one. Btw, glad we didn't hop on the short bus today, both switchback and twist where closed for racing today, and will be again several times in the coming months, we need to hit that agin before we run out of time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big mario Posted February 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Another stellar day of camera whoring, carving, and camaraderie, with a little trail carnage thrown in for fun. Windy, and warmish, with light alternating between flat and excellent. We had a couple of out of state guests today, Johan(aka Colozeaus) Bill( Possibly Bill b) and his daughter Shannon. Groom was good, almost firm, I was still getting in about 3" in places, but that's just me. Also earning participation trophys today where, Dennis , Dusty Bottle, Ice, Ink, Monodude, Odd Job, Yamifumi and myself. Ink and the dude where both sporting vintage liberations, Inks set up properly, with Dudes setup as a bastard mono. Dennis, thanks for taking the time out of your riding and spending it in the snow behind the lens, and to you as well Mr positive for doing the same. Thanks for sharing it with us in the rat post ride, It still amazes me how riding can appear so effortless on video, and yet be something totally opposite in real time. DT, Ice, Inky, Mono Freak, Odd Job and I are off to Montucky next weekend, so y'all need to keep representing mario 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies for lapping you guys, but i had limited time on sunday since i had to head back to the airport, and this only being my 3rd day of the season, i needed to get as many runs in as possible! Love you guys! And thanks for all of the priceless advice you have all given me. i would have probably thrown away all my hardboot stuff if it wasn't for the community!

Billb Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Hi Big Mario, it was great to meet you guys . Sorry we didn’t stick with you guys longer but time with a grown daughter is precious and we where each flying off to different cities in a few hours. My daughter thought it was neat to see so many people on this wierd gear that she has seen me on for years . If you or any of the guys have any any pointers for me it would be welcome. Thanks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big mario Posted February 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Its always nice to have out of towners drop in to our little big mountain, it gives us the opportunity to ask “whoze that phuckin guy”. Nice to meet you and your daughter, you have taught her well. Only thing I could see is keep an eye on that trailing hand. Let us know next time you’re out this way mario 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
