Zen - the creek crossing was about 18" deep. The logs came as you climbed up a hill after crossing the creek. Folks were saying that it wasn't easy to remount after the creek and get enough speed up to clear the logs on the climb. I think it was just the setting.

fastdogs - Pfoodman (sponsors of event) allowed shops to show case their products. I was the only shop there - all the better for me. We were just showing some mtn bikes with blow out prices - I want the 2009 product and need to move inventory.
