Christian and Andreas — Day 3

Posted on by Smoke

The bike is fixed (thanks again Steve), the weather is clearing, and we’ve got a score to settle….

Ooops, one more for the Shore. Andreas goes down HARD on Dirty Diapers.

That settled ‘Dre down for the day. Christian pretty much took over from here.

This next one is the same drop that ‘Dre augured.

We took a little wake-up call on Ned’s today. It’s hyperfast since all the trail days recently.

There was quite a crew out today, so we had a bit of a session on the lower Ned’s stunts.

Skogs was charging hard.

On the next lap we stopped in to help Jeremy on CBC.

They’re such an industrious people, those Germans.

Gratuitous tourist shots, Shore style…

..and some more trail work. Hey Synchro! You gettin’ this?

Christian and Andreas — Day 2

Fromme today. Yesterday pretty much destroyed the boys, so what better way to get on top of it than riding Fromme in the rain?

Skog’s and Colin from Toss were also out. We started off with a look at the Circus, then wussed out and hit Upper Oil Can. Here’s Colin on the big skinny rolldown near the top.

Christian was riding super strong. Here he is on Big Smooth, no problems at all…..

Of course, that didn’t last. We went over to Air Supply where he promptly 50/50’d the tranny on the last big one. You know, the longest one? Anyway, a broken rear shock was the only casualty….well, that and Christians’ nuts.

Andreas stepped it up too. Here he’s about to bottom his forks out on the Starfish.

And another bridge, and we’re done.

Steve at Bean Around the World gets the big shout out for selling his spare Romic to Christian and keeping the ride alive.

“Excuse me? Could you move your hand for a sec?”

Whatever that’s about…..

Christian and Andreas are from Germany. Welcome to Aberfahrten Valhalla, also known as CBC.

Andreas on the new way around the swamp. Notice how fast the Devils Club is coming in now that less people are walking in there? That’s in just a few weeks.

Andreas and a big tree.

Christian, trying to get famous on Pangor.

We took a little break and then went out for another lap.

It was great, but I think that the greasy conditions were a bit much for our European friends.

“I zhink zis is ze most tired I’ve ever been in my life…”

“Ja………….dude…..”
