Yes....
Why no reporting on Shawn Orrechio and the demise of Diablo?
- Thread starter Sandwich
- Start date
I can't tell if you guys know each other and are joking around, or if this is some genuine cyber beef. Anyhow, keep it up!Yes....
It's a shame Diablo's demise happened but on a brighter note Mountain Creek may do what Diablo aimed to be all along a park for riders by riders, only time will tell. Season passes purchased from Diablo should be disputable with the CC company or if you have proof of the purchase I believe Mountain Creek said on their website they would honor all Diablo season passes purchased. As far as Shawn is concerned he's history with MCBP. Whats a real shame is the US Open won't happen this year at least not a MC.
a tired old course with sections that turn into parking lots, no ways to protest and with high entry fees? yeah, real shame.
wrong thread
I know it's real fun to speculate about conspiracy theories. Way more fun than reality. But sometimes my jaw just drops at the absurdity of accusations like this, especially from long-time and typically rational posters.
Do you know how much investigative journalism costs? Or ANY kind of content program for that matter, that's not based on the good will of volunteers?
Tell you what. Send me an email with some writing samples and the amount of time you're willing to commit, per month, to content on this site - either for free or nearly free. I don't mean this in an aggressive or unpleasant way: I am offering you this opportunity to step up and show me that I'm wrong.
I know that all forums speculate left and right. I think there's a little bit of a gap, though, between speculating about, say, whether Intense's new frame is flexy, and speculating that a site like this where we work hard to bring you a free service has some kind of malicious agenda to cover up for advertisers.
I'd just like to add that the mods, myself, and Mr. Bishop are simply a PM away. There's no great evil empire or conspiracy - the people running the daily operations are still the same people, and FYI, I have no idea who has ad contracts with us and who doesn't. I don't deal with the business side.
If there's ever something you think is missing, concerns about how the site is being run, suggestions for a story, or anything you think is important... just reach out. PM is fine, or my email address is binaryvisions at ridemonkey dot com.

That's awesome, but it didn't last too long.
Looks like "someone" recently removed that gem of info while adding some equally as awesome info.

Anyone know if Sean is still the person behind Freelap USA?
Sean has moved on to focus on other activities.
He's touring the country visiting restaurants to determine whether or not their "All You Can Eat" buffets are false advertising.
I thought he was hired to sell season tickets to never never land?
