Big mountain riding in Oklahoma?? I sh!t you not [o] (pic heavy)
Here's a few pics from our Tulsa Freeriders group ride a couple weeks ago at Cavanal Hill in Poteau, Oklahoma. It is the 'World's Highest Hill' with an elevation of 1999', one foot shy of being a mountain. So far we've found 2 DH trails, although there is plenty of other jeep trails around that we can hit, we just need a couple GPS's and some walkie talkies. The runs take ~30 minutes each, and the shuttle is paved the whole way to the top. Good times………………….good times
Here's a few pics

So, if anyone is ever in Oklahoma, and wants to do some downhillin', let me know, and we'll hit it up. I could only make 4 runs that day because my arms got soooooo pumped I couldn't grab the back brake anymore.

yeah, rifle season opened the day that we went, so we thought we'd be as safe as possiblepdirt said:
technically yes, but for us ******* downhillers, that there's a mountain gawl dangit!sriracha said:
Yeah, it is SUPER tech, and has claimed several brake rotors and a few big toes. One weekend, me and my friend broke the same big toe on the same foot, and lemme tell ya, that schit hurts!
Ya'll hunt rifles up there do ya? Haha.Cooter. said:yeah, rifle season opened the day that we went
How was that freak'n tornado weather ya had the other day. Mom called me up here in Phoenix scared sh!tless caus she was all alone, the hubby was in Jersey.
Cooter, that looks faaaast!
What it lacks in sheer elevation it seems to make up for in speed. There don't appear to be many turns or stuff to slow you down. I'd bet you can get into some hairy situations going mach 2. That's definitely one you'd want to check out first before just lettin' 'er go full bore. Is some of that a powerline access trail? I think a guy could get his money's worth out of a Brake Therapy floating brake kit on some of that...LOL!Cooter. said:technically yes, but for us ******* downhillers, that there's a mountain gawl dangit!
