Northstar Epic

exactly a year ago my buddies and I went to mammoth, and we promised to do northstar the next year. we did, and it was epic.

We were packing up the trailer we were pulling on the 11 hour drive up, it had 5 dirtbikes, 7 DH sleds and all of our gear. We were waiting for our last friend to show up, and we get a picture message from him with blood all over his garage and blood literally spurting out of his leg. He showed up at the house 2 hours later with 5 stitches on his shin, which he got from slipping a pedal while wearing flip flops. We left the next morning at 9:30, which is way too late, and hit LA traffic and grapevine traffic, and then AC went out on our van at 106 degrees in stopped traffic. Finally we made it to sacramento, kicked it in a roach motel, and left early the next morning to go up to the house we rented in northstar. We spent the first days shredding a loamy trail right off of our back door, because the lifts weren't running. After a few days, the lifts opened up and it was open season on the whole bike park. We rode boondocks, livewire, gypsy, dog bone, karpiel, sticks and stones, and flameout until our hands bled. Wash rinse and repeat for 5 days and you end up with an epic trip that is not to be forgotten. Pictures and soon videos from the trip and the race are up at Suspended Photography's Facebook
And also on Their Pinkbike

Nice, Grant. There's a few pics of our crew in the pictures. N* was a good time, for sure.

The place is pretty rad and IMO worth the haul up. The non riding locals are jerks though.

I wish I had that liberty!!
