I'd agree with him. West coast gravity racing blows dog.because the entire state of CA is just like fontana...

Awesome in many ways....

cali riding is good but its def no east coast terrain sorry.
Now that part I don't know about.
9m double jump on gurten switzerland
Not the greatest pic or anything, but last time I raced at Brookfield I clipped a pedal on the entrance to that section and had a crash that broke my crank arm, handlebar, two bones in my hand and wrist, dislocated 3 fingers and put me out of racing for 8 months. Proud to get back through it with a top 10 result

Making it down to the bottom at the Windham GE race with out crashing. Finished Fifth or Sixth.
after having lived in Cali for the last 13 years and moved to the midwest I can say im enjoying the east coast/midwest action way more.
Far more technical rock and root sections and people actually build big jumps and bike parks (which are seemingly non existant in so cali.) Cali is great for XC/AM kinda riding. I do miss Aliso Woods, Laguna Canyon and The San Juan trail, however just riding all the vertically challenged areas here in Ohio and PA I can say that ive had sooo much more fun. Jumping, table tops and stepups and big mossy, greasy rocks kill the loamy, less technical terrain that is most of Socals riding.
Im on the left. Sunday River DS
Sugarbush DH
Are you not a socal affiicioNARDS? drive north, then tell me the east is the only place with rocks and rooots... and as i recall, didnt GRIZ, a person i am not a fan of, compete in the gravity east series and take a win?"
im tired of this East is gnarly then the west BS, and if i was a bigger man, i would ignore it, but luckily for y'all, i am drunk, and alone, so im engaging you. all of you.
alright. smiley.

West coast, specifically California racing is pretty much shameful given what we have to work with. The sheer number of DH races going on in the NE during the riding season with the number of lift access spots is something we just can't compete with right now. Maybe when Snow Summit was still able to fill their parking lots and their entire village on race weekends, and when National Champs were at Mammoth, and Fontana was something to go and do when you were hungover and didn't feel like driving up the hill to Big Bear and you had the luxury of such an option, but no way we have anything to compare to the racing scene out there.
There is hard terrain out here, believe me. None of it is legal of course, but then again I don't think any legitimate DH spot in California is legal anymore. If someone assumes that California, of all places in the states, doesn't have the terrain to host more challenging trails than anywhere else in the country with the exception of some of the Rocky Mountain states, they weren't looking hard enough.
