i was just wondering what you guys think might happen next season or in the coming seasons at diablo. even tell us what you would like to see happen for next season.
here was my idea...
i would love to see a north shore section put into the woods that is near lower ripper. just switchback bridges going over the river and some high technical stuff and some more ridiculous dh trails that are more like stalker. i think diablo should switch their focus from crazy sick wooden park logic stuff over to more downhill oriented trails. thats just my two cents
ever hear of a tree and a leafSome food. And toilet paper, paper towels, toilets that are operating would be a nice change.
If they put in some A-line/DM/Crank it up style step ups and made some more tight tech downhill with loose berms and roots and rocks and other rough stuff, I might start going back to diablo.
flatliner is done. there not doing it anymore.Wow. All the above ideas sound great but I think they should work on finishing Flatliner first...
they are not log drops. water bars. with out then there would be no trails... or atleast a really ****ty oneSome more high-speed pedal sections (remove some of those silly 6" log drops across some trails spaced too close together).
Groom some of those really loose small rocks off the ski slopes which lead into trails.
Something fast, long and flowy would be great. See here...
Diablo does have a lot of nice rock gardens, but here... you've hit the nail on the head... With the trails having not much risk, it's kind of like putting a governer on a formula car, it just limits all the potential fun of the car and the track...Some challenging stuff would be nice. All the drops are pretty tame IMO. There should be some features that you need to seriously commit to. Not stuff you can roll off at any speed you want and land fine. Believe me all that stuff is a lot of fun to ride, but they should have some more stuff like Highland. Even if it's not that tough, some intimidating features that require some more advanced skill (and testicular fortitude) would be nice.
I agree. I also think a lot of you guys need to spend time on the "forgotten" trails.what about midget clowns as judges on lower dominion? They can give jelly beans to the gnarliest freeriders.
Seriously, Ive never gone to diablo and had a bad time, excluding the weather. Im grateful to get to cruise down a mountain with crazy shizzle all over to keep my skills improving. Im sure my season pass will be money well spent. Keep up the outstanding work diablo.

My hope is that they do cut a few old school downhill trails.
Couple things about your post:Sure, it would be nice to get some of those HOT girls from the water park to hand out water bottles to us (but only wearing bikinis) BUT
the truth of the matter is - we want more of DROPS, BRIDGES, FLOWY sections that will make us talk about it all week when we're at work or home - wishing the weekend would finially arrive.
Mostly all the trails, especially the newer stuff, is well thought out and really fun to ride. But it's time to focus on going bigger with everything out there - all the new bikes/suspension - put it to the test.
Have The Race course always open just for the racers (keep them happy). Make a run for Step-ups and Jumps (keep that group happy). And make a section that just consists of Drops - big and small (no bailouts).
It's all about having fun - and Diablo still has potential to make it the best park to ride (sorry, but Highland Park is the best by far - just not the drive to get there).
Whatever, Diablo decides to do, PLEASE add some newer trails/runs and read the posts - us riders know what we want
