Mammoth!!
Well it seems like a while since i have done a post so im sorry for that but its because i have been out in Mammoth Mountain in California!
I decided to head out there on the 6th with a god friend of mine Ben kilner to get some spring time riding in whislt the snow in Europe was shockingly bad and it more than paid off!
I had never been out to California before so it was something i was really looking forward to and the mountain did not disappoint. We were met on the first day by bright blue sunny skies and the perfect Mammoth park with all its bright pink features even if it was pretty slushy but then again we were expecting that and an awesome first day was had so smiles all round.
Waking up the following morning however was a sight that i did not expect to see in mid may! a full blown snowstorm freezing temperatures and around a foot of snow had already fallen!! this was to stick around for a few days but being English this didn't stop us and we unlike the rest of the mountain were determined to go ride.
The trip turned out to be a mixture of weather which did test us however when a perfect park is laid out for you each day you are sure to progress and that is what we did, a lot of new tricks were learnt and a few different ones tried so a successful time was spent out in Mammoth!
On the last 2 days of our trip we were lucky enough to spend some time down in LA with a new found friend who showed us the sights and night life of Beverly Hills,Hollywood,Santa Monica and Venice Beach before making what turned out to be a long trip and a missed flight home VIA Washington DC.
Below is some pictures from the trip and how it planned out.
