Norco factory and Joy Ride 150 all in a single day.

The day started early afternoon meeting Jacob at his house to so him the was to AWI headquarters.We thought the HWY would be bad so we left a little earlier but to our surprise the roads were clear and the drive was good.Arrived at headquarters half an hour early so Andrew didn't even have to to shovel the lane he just loaded the team van and off we went.

The drive down I road shotty and was incharge of the music but either Jacob and Andrew didn't like my choice or there was just nothing on so we left on 102.1.We arrived at our first destination the Norco Factory.Saw some bikes,talked and listened for a bit and took a carbon road bike.

Arrived at Joy Ride 150 25 minutes after opening and hit the foamy pit right off the bat.A couple good 90's for me, some good jumps from Jacob and some skill honing from Andrew(vids below). Worked on the xc track a bit with a mixture of pump track, skinnys and jumps to complete the three hour ride. In that time Jacob found a sweet line on the xc course,I bruised myself good in the foam pit,we made fun of Spak because he didn't come and thats just what happens to no shows, Andrew ripped the new fastest time on the xc course and we all tried the new expert skinnys.All and all a blast, thanks again Joy Ride!!

Cheers!!

Small note: Upon further review I realize now Andrew did a superman not a seat grab as stated in the video.
