Nathan and Beau, ready to go, at Northstar
Northstar gondola
John Foss and Nathan Hoover
On the Northstar gondola, bikes (and unicycles) ride in easy-loading style.
Okay... This is a trash can at the top of the second lift
So is this a high speed quad, a gondola or a bike lift?

An armored biker passes Joe on Live Wire
The LiveWire trail is paralleled by a sprinkler system, to keep the dust and erosion down.
LiveWire's big banked turns were like riding on a velodrome. With insufficient speed you drift to the lower parts, which are all lose gravel & rocks!
