More Stoke: 12 Hours of Mesa Verde

Posted on June 1, 2012 by The Gnome

Phil’s World. May 12th, 2012. The 12 Hours of Mesa Verde. It’s gone for this year, but in 2013 it will be rolling into its 7th rendition. It has grown some, and the reasons for that probably include the fact that the course is composed of more ripping singletrack than you can shake a stick at, a kick ass fun loving staff, and the mellow vibes of many a ColoRadBro local. If you have not attended yet, put it on the list. And if you have attended, put it on the list again.

About The Gnome

According to traditional stories and modern anecdotal accounts, forest gnomes exhibit several distinct patterns of behavior: Stealth and Hiding: They use natural camouflage and expert stealth to move through dense underbrush unseen. Guardianship: They act as stewards of the woods, tending to plants and watching over forest animals. Manual Dexterity: Rare eyewitness reports claim they interact with their environment, such as clearing debris or moving stones. Elusive Movement: They appear mostly at twilight or dawn and vanish instantly when spotted. All content by The Gnome is guaranteed ai free. Typos preserved

I just sat and weaved my head side to side, up and down in front of the screen for 6 minutes.

I put it on mute and listened to Slayer “Skeletons of Society” made it much more crazy. But like Mitch I was doing the bob and weave especially the part at the end with the left hand turn between the trees.

Hypnotized with the bob and weave, for sure. Stunned by the smoothness. No roots, no rocks, no chunder, it’s like another world…

The rider with the camera needs to manual a lot of those jumps. He’d pick up more speed. Airs to uphill landings kill momentum.

And you if plan to race, you better get signed up within a day or two. I did the race in 2010 but missed out in 2011 because it fills up so fast. This year we registered at midnight. It’s definitely worth the trip from AZ.
