Any word on what to expect for the new trail? It was mentioned on MTBR, linking to Stalker.

They are calling BMW epitaph? possibly down on bushwack?

 

[TheTruth]

I am pretty sure they are also going to make another trail called revelation

But is that the truth?

 

[WhoRyder]

I heard from TheTruth's mouth that they are making Alpine a Rock Garden just to make things interesting.....

 

[FOXROX]

But is that the truth?

its not like you ever ride anyway and that's the truth.

 

[FOXROX]

[kyle_nelson]

[IAMAPRO]

Thats the truth Ruth.

 

[sundaydoug]

You can't Handle TheTruth!

I can TOTALLY handle that.



Looking forward to seeing what Epitaph is...

it starts out fun, then there's more fun when you hit the steep gnarly rock chute, then there's more fun, and then you hit stalker. go do it.

 

[TheTruth]

it is so gnarly that it takes two times to mentally absorb what you just did.

 

[mklie]

Great trail. Starts off nice and smooth. Then you find a long steep section, roughly 30'. its nice now but once the racers hit it next week it will be a whole different line. We did it on the second run of the day and I would like to suggest they name it "Wake Up Call" because if you are not up yet you will be after this run. As always fun none the less.

 

[phloedix]

where does this trail start at ?

 

[IAMAPRO]

BMW - Drop in and stay to the right.

not a fan, lots of rocks that snag your pedals. SLOW. a few holes. but the two chutes are gnarly

when did you ride it? it was kind of sketch on sat, but now that it's been ridden for 3 days it's way better.

trail crew did a great job with it.

today, i hit my pedals on just about every rock at the top. (most of which i cant see with the poofy grass), it was really slick with dust and plant. all the rocks move and roll away. i got stuck in a hole in one of the front turns, and on my attempt to get onto the ninja drop line on my last run, the "ramp" collapsed as i rode up it. Has alot of potential, but will need ALOT of work IMO

gotcha. every new trail needs tweaking. those two steep chutes are great though. i don't think that a lot of people are riding the high "ramp" line at the bottom, which is prob why some of the rocks came loose for you.

something new is always fun though; especially a new natural DH trail. i'm sure they'll make adjustments this week so be sure to check it out.

Priceless!

I wish there was an award for who can descend the slowest.

solutions: take the pedals off your bike, get rock vision to see rocks through grass, get gazz 3.0.

its probably because of your two feet of rearward axle path

sorry for the slowness, it was one of our first few runs. my computer has aids also, so i couldn't do anything with the video sorry :/

 

[TheTruth]

that vid was cool. brian was the star of this vid though.

well after a **** ton of rain this morning i went and did some riding (including epitaph) and i must say in the wet with all the fresh loam packing up my tires....it was really sketchy. I think the idea behind the trail is a good one but the opening turns are awkward and slow then once you pick up speed from the two chutes you gotta jam on the brakes right before you enter stalker...like I said the idea of the trail etc is good, but it needs some work...
