Ok, I guess it's my turn. These are from May - 2005. I just had to add the Arches rock formation because I think it is hilarious! :haha:

I think we all have a story like that with slick rock. It can be technical and in many sections you really have to stay on your toes. Being clipped in doesn't help the equation. Makes for some good stories tho.....:cripple:

Great picture. It's one of those that people think is "photoshopped" or fabricated, but I've seen that rock too.

I was driving, and yes that's in Arches Ntl Pk, and my friend turns around and says, "OMG, that rock back there looked like a giant pe*is!!"

Pretty funny.

Yeah, me too. I was climbing, but actually spun out. I slid down the hill on my side, elbow, and knee. The bike stayed safe though.

Nope...You can tell by the "HeadShok" on the headset that it is a Cannondale. SWEET ride! The colors are similar to a Klein. :nod:

You have PASS mixed up with someone else! They ride for fun, few gearheads here! :ne_nau:

When I worked down there a couple years ago I was taking a client who was a pharmacist through there and he dubbed it Viagra Rock. My friends call it pennis rock. I wonder if the NPS has an official name for it.

passutah.com, just some mountainbikers in price that get together and ride. There is an open invitation. I went once and had a blast. They have some awsome trails there. nearly everything is rideable right from town!

If you've been to Moab from the Salt Lake City or Provo areas, then you likely passed Price on your way there (between Spanish Fork and Green River).
