sophie is a little new to mountain biking, but she races sport in quebec, couldnt tell, she was a soldier, about ten minutes into south rim you come up on a 4 foot drop, now theres a bail out to the left so you dont have to jump off, well sophie was right on marks wheel and he went ahead and jumped off the drop, poor girl thought she could roll this one, not so, she went over the bars and did a belly flop right onto the next rocks, she came up complaining but i couldnt understand what she was saying with her french accent. as soon as we all realized that she had fallen we gave her a minute to recover, she had this big mark on her chin and the first of what would become the legs of a thousand bruises. on we went, what a soldier !!!
i think this pic was taken on slickrock trail in moab, sophie on the left and julie on the right, turned out that julie used to compete in the elite pro womens category of no less than the world cup circuit, a couple of world championships also, fuck, i must have done some thing right some time to meet these two out of the blue...
this is the point at gooseberry mesa, the end of south rim, views are out of this world...
the girls, looks like they are contemplating jumping doesnt it ? dont do it, theres so much to live for !
this is the unearthly spot just after dropping into the main south rim trail, first timers to the mesa always trip on this section, as a matter of fact after being at this spot no less that 30 times it always trips me too..
reminds me of saying good bye..
