The monkey, eating his banana sitting in a comfy vinyl seat looked around and said, you guys are my best friends. Not so soon after this the rocket sled ignited behind the unwilling chimpanzee and hurled him screaming at 10 Gs off the face of a cliff.
I hate you guys.
You will feel the same emotions.
Do bring your kneepads. I rode with mine in my water pack next to my somewhat bruised yellow n black banana. We are all fine.
The teal jewel of the ride is the talking bmx track. Be sure to say hi.

Ok i could not ride all the sections, well, i probably could but the pucker factor on this xc rider showed its face today. I was going to say, head, but didn’t want to sound dirty. I had fun. Top stuff seemed more scetchy than lower stuff. Couple really steep drops that would b fine if it had a safe runout instead of a cliff. We watched the vids after n others make it look easy like its just a roller. You decide. Lower had some decent amateurs drops of 5-7 feet that we rode bc the guy in front rode. I think we sll are better riders now having done it n plan another quest soon to ride more of it.
Kong splits off this trail n l think maybe clean the Monkey before riding Kong.
