Kyle, Kevin and Cam spent a couple days in the Grand Valley to get a feel for the riding and the people and the land here. We had a great time sharing a few of the local spots and riding with these guys. We took them up our local Stagecoach ride above Palisade on Friday. Cam and Kevin on their Coverts, and Kyle riding his BottleRocket 
Which tops out at a gorgeous slickrock face and ledge overlooking Palisade about 1000 feet below 
Kyle dropped off of a small rock on the way down, about 5 times.  Take a look at one drop video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28O5umlaWjo All in all, a good ride. We'll get some more pictures and fun up later. Transitions are here and ready to play! |
