i know most of you guys are dh or freeride but who is doing the o-hill melt down on saturday?
so whos doing the melt-down
- Thread starter BIRDMAN111
- Start date
me fokey me we need to ride that loop lots
and by downhill freeride you meen beer drinking and old
haha well im gonna ride it tomorrow atleast once maybe twice if im up to it.
fill me in on what exactly this is. I may have to make a trip up to tryt it out.
I'm gonna take a swing at it.
Well, I would come up and do it if my bike wasnt screwed up so much, front brakes need to be bled, need new rear brake pads, need new front and rear derailleur, and I need two need rotors. I cant pull that much money out in one week. That and Im not spending any money on my bike untill I get my new camera. I will tell you this though, dont be afraid of the white lense pointing at your face. I'll be there as a photographer..... hopefully, along with another guy. If I dont come with the gear I'll come up and throw rocks at you...cough cough, I mean support you.
just pull the money out of your a**, aw hell just pull the parts you need directly out of your a**. you can eliminate the middle man
Looks like I'm out, my new replacement derailer hangers won't be in until next Tuesday :redhot:
The loop is definitely a burner. Have you guys been riding the race loop? I've done about 7+ laps on it recently and it is a lot of fun. I will at least show up to support a couple of my friends.

O.K. fokey how bout you give me the money to buy the parts? Then I'll do it. Alos I will still get to throw rocks and sticks at you...speaking of o-hill im heading to the jumps now, so if you read this meet me up there some time.
yeah the loop is alot easier if it is cooler out side. charlie and i did it today and it was burning hot. i also need a good jersey. cotton t-shirts are hot hot hot.
well at the moment my bike is ****ed the hanger snapped during practice today. but cville bike and tri will probobly have one.
Your starting to sound like an old man...BIRDMAN111 said:
call them first. make sure they have oneBearmntpicnic said:
Jersey's are a god sent for sure! I use to rag on them until I actually used one.
too bad theyre so expensive. atleast for the cool ones. like speed racer! racer x is way cooler. he don need no stinkin monkey
Performance has some cheap ones time to time. I have grabbed all of mine for between $12-$20
Do you live on Westerly?

umm I think im buyin the weaties jearsy so you could maybe rock the wonder bread but probobly not, since that fat **** already bought it. I dont see how that guy is planning on completing a loop and two would just not be possible. I wonder if anyone is going to rock the climb which is impossible
no my friend does. i was seeing if he was home.
hey charlie screw him if he already has the wheaties jersey aslong as you can still kick his a** you can rock the jersey.

i have decided what im gonna wear for the meltdown in lack of a jersey. im gonna use my cross country running jersey. its made out of the same stuff, but tank top style. it wont protect me at all, but the xc riding jerseys dont either.
I noticed you chose to ignore the old man comment...BIRDMAN111 said:
Everyone I have been riding the loop with can clean all of the climbs. The one that climbs up from the lower loop next to 29/250 bypass up to the fire road is a total bitch though. I'm usually at a crawl by the time we get to the top and it takes me a minute to let my heart rate go down.Bearmntpicnic said:
no were talking about the climb right at the end of the loop that is straight up and rocky as a bitch. its hard to push up it
i can clim that one near 250 but it blows nuts.

and im ignoring this one toosirknight6 said:I noticed you chose to ignore the old man comment...
Oh yeah, I forgot... right after the descent from the power line and on down to the right towards the small wood bridge? That one skipped my mind. I only know of one person who can clean it... and of course that is Paul Buschi :hot:BIRDMAN111 said:
damn paul is a beast. and a really nice guys too. i can get like 2/3 of the way up it but it is really freakin hard.
Ok, so what race is everyone doing, I need to know so I can set up shop. Hopefully all of you will be doing the 1:00 race so I'll have you all to distract.
We are all doing the 6pm race. Get ready for us!
Anyone have any info on what kind of trail this is? The last time I raced in C-ville area it was at an orchard on the top of a mountain, all pretty much wide open. I don't think that trail every even went into the woods.:nonono: Is the trail tight and twisty or just wide and rough?
One word for 0- hill.... Whack
Its up, down, left, right, hard, easy, rocks, roots, OUCH!, tree, runners, old men with dogs, it is a great place to ride, not so easy though, unless you pick the crap trails.

O-Hill is anything BUT wide and out in the open. Twisty, rocky, rooty, up, down, switchback to rib crack! It's not all that bad, but it ain't no walk in the park either. A hell of a lot of fun if you've never ridden there.noname said:Anyone have any info on what kind of trail this is?

edit: look's like VaNIlLin81 shares the same sentiments... lol.
If you guys are looking for cheap shirts for summer riding check out duofold T-shirts at campmor.com. When on sale they go for $6 or so. I think Performance sells them but at the outrageous price of $14.
yeah there is no "easy" features. lots of rocks. steep down hills and many trees to grab you handle bars as you fly down the mountain. the climbs are pretty brutal when your tired. much harder than walnut creek i think.
dude o-hill is like the best place ever. and mudnsweat, paul is going to kick everyones ass he is so beast I almost went with him and wade to climb reddish it would have sucked, since paul an x trek pro rider. but yeah its supposed to rainy so I dont think anyone will be making the climb, the others crappy climb is the one like comming up from 250
i wanna do the MD so bad, its not that im outa shape as much as my bike being gay.. lets see here...i ziptie my left shoe to my foot, need front brakes bled, need new rear brake pads, need two new rotors, need new rear de. need front de. to be adjusted......hmmmm
you can fix the rotors you retard ive been telling you that for months. i said that i would do it but you havent let me.
well goody goody im doing it anyway..and btw btw..
the trail is totally dif than what you and charlie did, you have to climb daves dunn..its way diff..u dont even go on the far side of the mountain
i did pick up a camelback for tomorrow..me and jake are doing the 11:00

Are you sure? We rode it with one of the organizers the other day and it definitely covers all sides of O-Hill without question. The course we ran was the same they have mapped out on the website too. Did they mark the course today or something?VaNIlLin81 said:
yeah they marked the course out
