Blast From The Past

One of my favorite stories at Rubicon lake was when I was riding shot gun with Orange Crush. It was winter time and he didn't have a top. We were climbing out one of the steep inclines that had loose dirt footing. The top was the trail that went along the ridge of the hill. The other side was a drop off so when you got to the top you had to hang a hard left or right or you'd go over the other side. We made it all the way to the top and just as we crested the top, one front tire in the air a few feet and the opposite side rear tire began lifting up, the engine stalled! We were teetering on the two wheels touching the ground. That was a high pucker moment. He didn't have a cage. Tom looked at me and said, "You'd better get out." As I jumped out my feet slipped on the loose dirt/stones and slid under his Jeep.

He backed down a few feet and got up it the next try.

MEMORIES!!!

my memory from rubicon lake was mine and melissas first trip to paragon and the ground was snow covered and on the same section where the drop off was I started to slide down the embankment :o You should have seen melissas face ;D

I remember watching that from down at the lake. Someone in front of you put a strap on you as did someone from the rear. Then they pulled in opposite directions and popped you right back up on the hill. That was one of my favorite rides. Everything is SOOOOO much harder with 10"s of snow on the trail.

I rember the first clean up. i rember dragging the concrete chunk out of the woods with chucks winch and dragging it all the way to the dumpster.

I am torn between the Steve benifit ride (my first time to Paragon) or the time i went with andrew, ian, paul, and i think someone else. "something is leaking out of your front diff. wait, now something is leaking out of your rear diff!"

everytime was a great time so its hard to pick one.
