"I just think of being lazy," she said. I looked up from my curry noodles and set down my chopsticks. "That's not it at all. It's about taking the time to free yourself from all those nagging obligations that whittle away your soul. When your up 'til midnight for the fourth night in a row, writing your thesis, you'll understand."
After a long drive from Bozeman the night before, we finished up on Saturday morning to arrive at Black Rock (in Falls City, OR) on the hottest day of the year -- 100 degrees and humid as hell. We goofed around the practice area jumps and quickly realized that we are not rad freeriders, but we had a great time riding berms (banked corners), smaller jumps and wooden features anyway. We had intended to stay at the campground in Falls City recommended on the BRMBA website but it was beyond sketchy (think people living in dilapidated RVs and trailers...as their permanent residence). Instead, we hit the road towards Oakridge after riding and had an excellent dinner at Venti's Cafe in Salem (extremely delicious sweet potato fries).
First some appropriate tunes, then on to the pictures:

Look Ma! I'm freeriding!
Katie is stoked to hit this feature:
