Freight train has steeps, big rock face roll ins, a freight train cargo container up gap plus ride off, curved wall rides, and the ability to make me perma grin. New features helped build the skill base... just having such a good time.
The jumps are all sized so perfect that you just don't brake on the trail and you're fine approaching new jumps blind - feels very fun, launching into the unknown and seeing the outcome only as you clear the lip. Did a creek gap too!
I'm not sure the apres diet of beer and nachos would work well if an entire summer was spent downhilling, but it's fun for a short burst. Made it back to one of the two rental houses for a hot tub session, saw a bear walk by 30' away. Wow. I'll still walk up the hill after the night life, but don't want to get lost in the bushes.
The Kona Stinky is "just a cheap rental bike" but until I know otherwise, it sure hasn't held me back... we're all riding the same ones, it's just what you do with them. It's nice being able to roll it into the shop, say the entire real wheel detensioned and it's flopping around, and they just give you another one to roll out with.
We did a sushi dinner at 9:30pm, where somehow 6 sake margaritas per person was the take. After that it was Buffalo Bills, which included top 40 dance floor try hard efforts, 80's originals and remixes, buck hunter, pool, and 8 Jager bombs between 11:30pm and 2am. Surgeon General does not recommend copious sake margaritas and Jager bombs in one night; but Surgeon General also doesn't opine on goofball fun quotient. Leaves you feeling more awake than at noon on a Tuesday. Literally bumped into a Calgary b-ionaire on the dance floor; boss won our 2 on 2 pool game with a baseball swing shot, and miscellaneous other mayhem was cropping up all night.
