You're going to have to do another one after they go through there this weekend! 
That turn at 5:03... A former forum member always told the story of waiting at the 5:20 spot below, and watching as an STR rider missed the switchback above and flew over the group waiting at the 5:20 spot. That was the end of his riding...

We sound like we have been inhaling helium and we are scurrying about the mountainside like a nest of disturbed ants.

I was on that STR ride. Don’t remember the guys name but lucky to be alive. He flew off the turn and cleared the trail below. The one bush his body didn’t break is what stopped him from going 100’s of feet further.You're going to have to do another one after they go through there this weekend!

The one at 7:00 is called The Widow Maker… I’ll let you guess why. The nice thing about Middle Merrill? It’s twice as wide as Upper Merrill.
When are you coming?

The fast forward was a nice touch.

I was wondering how people would react to that. I always want to show ALL the riding, but that's because I'm reliving it in my head as I watch it back. Good times!
But, I'm realizing no one wants to live in my head with me, so I'm trying different things like the fast-forward. Keep the feedback coming!

I think I visited you in your head one time, and I had the biggest urge of my life to take a shower afterwards.I was wondering how people would react to that. I always want to show ALL the riding, but that's because I'm reliving it in my head as I watch it back. Good times!

Do another run down the front side? Aw man! If I have to, I guess.You're going to have to do another one after they go through there this weekend!
The turn at 5:30 seems to be getting progressively worse - the hole is deepening, and showing signs it's starting to open up toward the outer edge. That one's S K E T C H Y! The turn at 7:00 is actually easier than it's been in the past, I think mostly because the entry to it has been eased/smoothed a bit over the past couple-3 years.I would have walked that one and the one at 7:00.

That's odd...most people going on THAT adventure bring PPE.
