    Diablo forum?

    Kinda lame to totally delete an active forum w/o a warning or closure period. They could at least have locked it for viewing-only for a while. I do understand why they got rid of it though. If they're not sponsoring the park they have no obligation to host a forum for it. Oh well. I spend...

    Diablo Sept 2-7 looking for someone to ride with

    D's only got a handfull but they're nice. Dom's Denial Phantom (Porch) Anthem Road to Nowhere Pipeline Covanent & Canon Salvation (aka big and small bananna or J-drops) Flume is closed though. Alpine has some nice wall rides and if you take the spur after the double that's just after...

    Trail Question

    LOL, you only need to pedal on the first bridge. :D OTOH Anthem gets my goat b/c I'm can't spot the line on the apporach so I dump a lot of speed to line it up. I avoid pedaling on it so I can get set to hop off ...which is ironic b/c I'll pedal the 1st bridge on CW no problem. The thing...

    Diablo Sept 2-7 looking for someone to ride with

    I went to Whistler last year and differences I see are in the freeridey stuff: Diablo has more drops than most of Whistler and the drops don't have those safety ramps underneath to help ppl roll it out if they don't commit. You don't commit here and you may get committed. As Huck said above...

    Trail repair?

    A number of my friends just went there the other weekend and they all raved about the same things. They were as impressed with the maintenance as they were with the additional features. I don't think I have heard anyone complaining about that the maint having dumbed things down at Highland...

    Trail repair?

    Well I thought I was agreeing with you, but I guess I was just talking sh*t then. "Natural Selection" and "sucka-free access" were sarcastic comments about the idea if people were having trouble with the dirt kicker they weren't qualified to ride the wood feature. I disagree with that...

    Trail repair?

    According to the argument against, that's just Natural Selection at work and a way to keep the features clear for just us thrashers. :rolleyes: You want sucka-free access, ride weekdays. (awesome chit! :thumb:) It's low. Just look at the first and last wood slats... both have been...

    Diablo Conditions for 8/23?

    Anyone got a clue what things will be like Sunday morning? Did Da' D get a lot of rainfall today? Mega muddy? Greazy-peezy?

    Trail repair?

    While I agree it's on the rider to understand the nature of the feature, my point is lesser experienced riders may not be able to look at that kicker and see it's not going to automatically put you up on the ladder without a good hop. Fact is it's too low. Anyone building something like that in...

    Trail repair?

    Some quick thoughts: Please sweep the marbles out of the berms on Alpine and IndyX. The kickers to Salvation and the box on upper Doms aren't sufficient unless you know you need to hop up to avoid casing the leading edge of the feature. I've seen MANY people buy the farm on Salvation b/c...

    What makes a diamond?

    I should mention that Scrublover gets the camera credits! :thumb: So Covanent and the Canon just after get a double diamond right? Anthem definately deserves a DD because it's so tricky to hit. Narrow and off line from the blind approach... hard to have enough speed to make it to...

    What makes a diamond?

    Huck are you talking about Stigmata just after BMW? If anything at Diablo qualifies for DD it's BMW & Stigmata Victory Double diamond if you ask me.

    auto-resizing of pictures?

    I have IE and clicking does not produce the full sized picture. Anyone have a solution besides installing another browser??? It works in Safari though. Still I use IE more often. I should also point out it seems silly for the browser to load the full size picture then resize it to the...
