Coming off the best freeride this area has EVER seen we hit the ground running and starting planning for next year. The riding was awesome and the people where great but the location was lacking. Having to constantly shuttle people/stuff out to the island and back took a toll on many and the weather and lack of shelter did too. This year we are looking at a cool campground located further south from last year, Lake City, MN on the Mississippi river (the St.Croix we rode on last year connects to the 'sippi between here and our last ride) The area is called Lake Pepin and is a large "lake" where the river widens, still providing access to many huge boat wakes (40'-50'+) and also enough room for our huge group to spread out.
I don't know if anybody on the X even looks at this section but I hope that a few more midwest riders get the idea that its worth the drive...last year we had over 100 attendees and 75+ standups but didn't even get a quick shot on the front page like the other rides. Check back for more updates.
