Lips, whips and quips at Gunbarrel

We had a fun session Friday night at the Gunbarrel jumps near my house.

Adam Heavenor -- Ambassador of Air, Bigwig of Whip -- is going off these days.

Wait, is that Bubba Stewart? Adam whips it, whips it good.

Classic Gunbarrel. You can basically coast down that roll-in. From there on it's pure love.

But that air isn't entirely free. You gotta PUMP that last lip!

Bobbi Watt has many personas.

Bench Press Bobbi pumps No. 5 in the small set.

Race Day Bobbi goes too fast for this shutter speed!

It's back up the hill for Tea Party Bobbi.

Luke Strom -- Aussie pro downhiller living in CO for the season -- says just about every animal in Australia can kill you. Watch out for the jellyfish!

Aussies do everything with feeling. Especially pumping takeoffs.

"La, la. I can see home from here."

A lippy, tricky 6-pack runs straight down the fall line, through a slight left then into a right-hand berm. Just as the light waned, I coerced the guys into making a train.

Fast Jon Watt, Aaron and Eric Jean frolic like porpoises. Sardines for everyone!	Dr. Watt reaches the crux move: a slight left into the last two doubles.	Watt nails the turn while the other marine mammals file through the set.
Aaron, EJ, Jon.	Eric Jean of Cycle Cyndicate pumps that No. 3 lip.

Ladies and gentlemen, Evan Chute!
