"Speaking terms?"
I'm sleeping with most of 'em.
Trail Crew. There isn't a trail crew anymore.

When I go, I pretty much stick to the trails on riders' left of the mountain, looking downhill. The right side trails like Karpiel are just too rocky and brutal and no fun for me. Why beat yourself up when you're trying to have fun? Trails like Boondocks on the left have a lot better flow. Also, much like Mammoth, it generally takes me the first half of the day to get used to the dusty conditions. And I'm sure I'll get plenty of crap for this... The jump trail sucks. I think it's called Freight Train? It looks pretty, but the timing is all wrong. You struggle, or at least I do, to clear the jumps near the top, and then right as you get a bit of rhythm, or at least close, Bam! a short one and you over clear and flat land on the fire road. I haven't been there this year, so I don't know if they've fixed the situation. It would be a criminal offence if they havn't

I'm surprised that no one has torn into me about my Freight Train review. Must be true.

Your trolling has failed, move on

OK mtnryder, what is their wanna be A-Line trail called then? Let me quote myself, "I think it's called Freight Train?"
Your move master troller. Wait, don't bother, I just looked it up and the trail that sucks is called Livewire. Do you have an opinion of it or do you just want to heckle?
