Remember that scene in Happy Gilmore, when he doesnt make the hockey team, so he goes in the batting cage to "toughen up"?oldskoolbiker said:Any tips to prepare us for our trip would be helpful.

Of course I'm originally from that neck of the woods, far SW VA specifically, and I still have at least have part of my accent. The other guys may have never even been to the south before.
We will be hitting up windrock on May 6 and possibly May 7. We wouldn't mind hooking up with some locals to show us the ropes.

didn't look like it slowed you down any from what i saw.Taz said:Ya the rock claimed my derailleur today.
Nah! Who said a DH bike can't be a single speeddhbuilder said:didn't look like it slowed you down any from what i saw.

it is funny to ask someone...so how many times did you shift..."ummm, well...there was the...no wait, maybe at the...hmmm...did I?"ChrisKring said:I think Dean has been running that way since last year. On Saturday, I notice my shifting was a little bad. Since I was a little out of it (dehydrated and 2 headers), I didn't notice that the derailuer had been ripped almost out of the hanger until I washed the bike on Saturday night. The strange thing was that the derailuer was fine except for the portion of the hanger that was still attached. I'll clean up the threads with a tap and it will be good to go.
yeah...we used to love to watch you have to pedal anyplace...:love:profro said:I never shift at Windrock. Over the last 2 years I have always run the exact same gear top to bottom.
what does that mean?bizutch said:yeah...we used to love to watch you have to pedal anyplace...:love:
dude...at Sugar and places like that, you'd get cooked b/c you rode nothing but Windrock for the longest time. You don't remember sucking wind in the parking lot and saying "I gotta do sprints. Windrock doesn't prepare me for this stuff.."profro said:what does that mean?

OOOOOOOOOOOOH SNAP!profro said:Oh you men like Sugar, where I won last year. ink:
BMX is where its at!
oh yeah...in VET. And I wasn't talking about '05. But I know how hard you're trying to recapture your youth and bury all those memories of defeat during your prime competitive years. All the training and riding will pay off. I'll hopefully be right there with you pretending I can "maybe" qualify for pro class at the Open.profro said:Oh you men like Sugar, where I won last year. ink:

of course...you just don't aim so much as you "guide"...aiming on less than a dh rig...bad. I still plan on riding Trail1 on my hardtail in the near future b/c Ben called me out.Raaar said:Just curious, I know most folks are sporting full-on DH rigs up at the Rock, but is anyone getting it done on shorter travel rigs?

What does VET have anything to do with it? Thats my age, nuthin I can do about it.bizutch said:oh yeah...in VET.

Thanks, i was just curious if anyone was hitting it on 5-6" travel rigs on a normal basis. WR is only about an hour from me and I'd like to check it out. I'm not really a hardcore DH or freeride guy, but I love gnarly tech, and WR looks like it has that in spades.bizutch said:of course...you just don't aim so much as you "guide"...aiming on less than a dh rig...bad.

Mike McCoy has done everything at Windrock on a Spec.Ed SX (Fox 36 on the front), but take into account he is a AA or A BMX racer (I think that's correct, he rides for Kovachi). But even he said Southern Rocks trail gave him issues.Raaar said:Just curious, I know most folks are sporting full-on DH rigs up at the Rock, but is anyone getting it done on shorter travel rigs?
