On the lighter side.......


Recommended Posts

Dodger,

U da man! I've been there many times...on a mountain bike and the motorcycle...and wouldnt even think about walking out there...much less riding it!

Just a quick question though...what did you do when you got to the other side? As I recall, all you really can do is turn around (somehow) and come back due to the steep rock face waiting for you...

By the way, what's that dark stain on your back side in the picture? Was it muddy that day or is that something else... ?

Ah ha, that's the scary part of the trick. You actually follow a sweeping right hand turn up the opposing face, kind of like the 'ol basketball toilet bowl around the hoop kind of thing. Like I said, the line is actually really easy, just very exposed. There is NO room for error ?:D !!!!

The thing on my back, wish it were something cooler, but it's just a backpack :D !

Dodger,

Man!!! You've inspired my first post...no more lurking for me!

Seen it twice on a mtn bike, but stayed far far away. You are brave indeed!

It's a long drive from Toronto to Moab, but no question that trip is now on my radar screen again...this time with some horsepower! ?

Ok, so I'm bored at work, and just got done reading like 39 posts on "Idiots" :D ! Let's try something different than petty quibbling :D !!

For those of us lucky enough to get to ride the lovely landscapes of Moab, how about seeing some of our crazier pictures. This has just been sitting on my desktop since Thanksgiving, and I guess I'd like to share it with y'all. Has anyone else ever tried the line over the arch on Poison Spider?? Besides the scary factor, the line is no big deal, as long as you don't mind 800ft drop to one side, and 60ft to the other ? !! I wish my buddy had gotten more of an action shot, or at least another photo, but this is all I have.

C'mon, let's see um!! :D:D I hope this works?!

Hoo Hah! Butt Puckered! And I'm talking about mine in this chair.

Been there many times and just drove right past it. There are many things I will try out there but that is not one of them.

Wish my signature was working. I have to find another photo shop. PhotoPoint is down and I can't get my pics back. I've got some great pics of guys out there.

If you have never been out there, do what you can to ride Moab at least once in your life. You will die a happy man. And it might just happen out there ?

I have a few pics of Moab, but not so extreme. Here is a pic from last Saturday, the 23rd.

It is a cliff drop from the Monitor and Merrimac area. Loads of fun! I'm going down to Moab again this weekend if anyone wants to meet for some great riding!

Hey Yama.dude;

Nope, don't have a little Mrs. to worry about me out on my bike. But I told my Mum about the line, she lives 3 states away and I almost felt her hands reaching throught the phone to strangle me :D !

Hey, what you gonna do except go for it :D:D !

Blackie, cool photo, I haven't rode Monitor/Merimack but plan to, have gotten many thumbs up on that trail. Hey, were going to be out again sometime around mid March, we should see about hooking up for a ride ?:D !

Thanks y'all!
