After the insanity of Rampage slowly subsided most of the riders wanted nothing to do with their DH bikes. Some however just can’t put the big bikes down. Last week in Santa Cruz, Brendan Fairclough and his dig crew happened to be in town. We hit up the local boys Ryan Howard and Kyle Jameson to see if they would let us sneak out to the site of the CruzFEST jumps. They obliged and here is what we came back with.

No dig no ride.  Doesn't matter if you're a top 10 world cup rider.  Teamwork makes the dream work.
