Mountain Biking....A New Adventure!

So my roommate and I went with some guy friends to go Mountain Biking up at Brian Head in Utah. It was absolutely gorgeous, the leaves were turning all different reds, yellows, and browns so it was really felt like fall. My roommate Kaitlin and I had a blast although there weren't any beginner trails for us, we were kind of thrown right in and the boys of course did all sorts of crazy jumps and went way too fast! We split off from the boys after the first have of our first trip down the mountain. Our second trip we had a lot of fun and really got the hang of it. The pictures don't do it justice, it is a lot harder than it looks, and boy do you get a sore butt after wards!

At the resort we stopped at for breakfast there was a hillbilly old man on this lift thing and my roommate Kaitlin asked him if we could go for a ride.....he thought we were joking until we started to get into the little box. It was fun!

Here is the group of us....I am in the middle. Did I mention we were the ONLY girls on the mountain that day! We were so hard core!

Riding the ski lift up the mountain.

This was a steep hill and I had to get a shot of it, I went down without crashing....so proud of myself!

Isn't this cool? They made this old minivan into a jump! I didn't go off it of course, but the boys did!

We dominated the mountain!!!
