Feels awesome to conquer a feature, specially when it takes a couple of tries, doesn't it? Hooker creek is so much fun, plus it seems like you guys had great conditions. You guys were flying down Ridgeline. "Kitsuma for kids" LMAO! Great video, now I want to go back haha!
Yes, that was definitely a lesson in technique, I needed the right balance of over the front, and weight on the back to keep the power down without slipping the tire, which was a high roller 2, so it had plenty of bite! I wish I could swing more long drive weekends, even going back to the bike park this weekend, was not the same as the feeling of a good rowdy fast trail!
I was there early this summer and stayed in Hendersonville for a few days, rode Ridgeline and the one going straight past Jim Branch turn off. I am 64 and that rocky entrance to Jim Branch be too much for me, when I was riding past the entrance about 2 miles up I saw 2 bear cubs and the MOMMA bear, I was scared so I stopped, turned around and came back down maybe 20 mins later. Might go back there in a few more weeks before winter, I wear knee pads but still not looking for any injuries so I try to avoid rocks
Sounds like a good time Jim, I'm mad I didn't get back this year, I think this spring is a definite trip! I love the area and can't wait to explore more.
Man North Carolina lived up to it's reputation, think I can convince the wife to move???
Great loop, one of my favorites. I LOVE Hooker Creek
0:13 lol falling over while standing still, classiiiiic.
I don't know what was going on there! even the dog looks confused.
The complex climb with those rocks but the descent is incredible, very fluid, good video!
