Been riding totally downhill - 10,000% more fun than pedaling up hill all day .
If anyone has the balls come race Sunday (Jaynes......No it;s not too late to start training for this)

I'll be damned. Welcome back. Pusquit. 😄

They aren't nearly as ban-happy over here as they used to be. Maybe they noticed how they have run everyone off?

[mbmb65]

I reckon. It's pretty slow around here.

I would love to own a downhill bike. It looks fun as hell!... but I already have, per my wife, too many bikes and too many hobbies. I imagine it would be a lot like motocross, without the throttle to get you out of trouble.

Me too. But I'd probably kill myself.

I would wear ALL of my MX gear... and probably still end up in an ambulance

7 lives (MTBR wise)? You might need them (riding wise), did you look closely at the deck boards on the take off ramp, they look under 1/2". Cool jump, but I would like to see 2" board for longevity/durability.

1/2"? I don't think so. They look like store bought 5/4 deck boards, which are an inch.

Ever the contrarian, I'm going to say those are 1x boards which measure 3/4". That isn't necessarily a bad thing but I am more concerned about the 2x stringer material that is being run on the flat - those boards should really be on edge. The bracing looks a little suspect and I don't see any bolts.

That is what I would use as my excuse for not hitting that jump. It has nothing to do with being too chicken

Welcome back, deeptroller123, you were very sadly missed. Do you know where Samford is? We could really use him back.

You could kill two birds with one stone: Upgrade to a new wife and buy a new bike!

My wife rides mountain bikes, dirt bikes, and has a Triumph 675 Daytona SE. She'd be pretty damn hard to upgrade. I really cannot complain because a dedicated DH bike is about the only form of bicycle I do not currently have in my garage

Dang, it sounds like you have a fun one! I'd own a DH bike if I lived close to a ski resort and I could use it all summer. But, I don't, so I don't see the point of owning one.

I see you still have the wealth of wisdom on making trails as boring as possible.

I'm sticking with 5/4 boards. I don't see a 2x stringer. They gotta have a couple of joists in there somewhere. Hopefully 2x6 at least. Hard to tell from a picture, but I don't see any bolts either. Still don't think I'd hit it.

[deeptroller123]

A few more....me hitting said under built jump and they are fence planks.

Maybe I just need to clean my computor glasses

I hear good things about Windrock, and yes they get to build what they want becuse it is private.

[deeptroller123]

At :32 I'm first off the drop / first on the wall at :54 / in front going off the drop at 1:12 / First off the road gap at Snowshoe at 1:20 / Again at 2:09 and yes that's me busting it on the wall at 2:22 / at 2:58-3 we are hitting the (Super underbuilt) jump in the pictures.

This was 2011, last year was even better - we went to Whistler.

Why didn't you post this one? Best one Brett has done so far imho.

Cool. I'd like to try that sort of thing one of these days. Are all those pics from windrock?

[driftwood]

they are fence planks.

Some fence planks measure 5/8" which would mean we are all wrong

[mbmb65]

Will somebody please dc that decking and confirm the size?!?!😁

[Woodman]

Is this all from Snowshoe, or a comilation of Snowshoe and Windrock?

My guess is you loved Whistler. Great riding at the bike park, but also good riding at Lost Lake and in the backcountry.

Rocky Knob Park Promotional on Vimeo

Nothing to see here, just boring trail with jumps, ladder bridges, log skinnies, rock gardens and rock drops. No, not as extreme as as some of the videos you gents have been sharing. What makes Rocky Knob cool is a higher level of riding with proper risk management making it aceptable for a public land managing agency. Rocky knob will open doors and help land managers understand and acept bike parks on public lands as an acceptable risk.
