riding ridges is usually best

nato · Mar 9, 2006

The picture could be screwing with my perspective but it seems as though the right side cutting diagonally towards the left is less steep than that of the left side. Am I wrong?

MilitiaRiders · Mar 9, 2006

Yeah i see what nato means the right does cross over and it does look less steep, i should have quoted him, goddamit!

nato · Mar 9, 2006

Only issue with it is that is a straight run... if that even is an issue? You just dont have many options to slow down besides skidding on your breaks. Do it n video tape! (I wanna see the gorey video

)

Yea your right, i think lol, but im going up this weekend to check it out and talk to the park officer there.

Isn't Mountain Washington / Tuckermans Ravine in a National Park? Good luck with that...

I know the park officer, we are good friends and hes the only officer up their, so i might be fine.

Okay, Have fun. What cha gonna do about the snow?

"So every spring, the march begins as skiers, snowboarders and the curious make the three-hour, three mile climb to the snow-choked Bowl. From late March to May, and sometimes into early June, the Tuckerman Ravine Trail is like an anthill with board-carrying thrill-seekers making the pilgrimage."

Tuckerman's is crazy steep! At the base lodge just read the list of all the people that have died skiing it! If you can pull off a ride down it I'd be seriously impressed. What you need to do is make sure you get some video of your attempt.
Good luck, you're gonna need it!

I have some buddies Who hiked up the Cog railway trail with there bikes , with the intent of riding down tuckermans. ( these Guys have Big Balls too, and all had skiied it ) they got to the top of the bowl , and non of them could pull the trigger, said it was just stupid steep. so they road down the auto road and almost got arrested for that. ( got off with tresspessing tickets )

Do us and yourself a favor and don't do it. Some things just aren't made to be. By the way, the picture you posted wasn't Tuckerman Ravine but instead Hillman's Highway.

CrabJoe StretchPants · Mar 29, 2006

if you do wind up going, please, please make sure you have good brakes. :rofl:

mtArider · Mar 30, 2006

well i was gonna say "how is the amulance gonna get up there?" but then i realized that its so stepp you would just slide right down into the rocks at the bottem, how nice for thedoctors.. free delivery!

downhill66 · Mar 30, 2006

that would be insane. i've snowboraded their but never thought about mtb down it. that would be interesting

HAHAH i do have good brakes, and i have a good camera, so i will film it and post it, so you guys can laugh and whatnot. I also am trying to get an ambulence to wait there so when i do crash, i can at least know ill be taken care of lol

If you do go and do it, let me know. I'll make it a podcast episode. Check out the pilot for this new podcast. The link is in my signature.

One more thing, ever seen Tuckerman Racine without snow? It is basically about a million huge boulders stacked up on each other, kind of like the lunch rocks.

CChase86 · Apr 7, 2006

I really don't think you will be able to do it, those rocks under the snow you know are huge... some things are just not possible. Sorry to say it, but no go.

DH biker · Jun 13, 2006

Some more pictures to give you an idea of how it is basically all rocks:

Yes it is a very steep spot.

habitatxskate · Jun 14, 2006

that picture is no good to pick a line, but definately ride a ridge. Good LUCK AND Post the pictures/videos and possibly the hospital bill! :rofl:

metalMTB · Jun 14, 2006

i'd do that. as long as it was dry

Frorider1 · Jun 14, 2006

Im good friends with greg, he is going to do it this summer but he needs to talk to the conservation officer. He also needs to get health insurance.

Frorider1 · Jun 14, 2006

Also those pic's do no justice, Tuckermans is crazy steep.

DH biker · Jun 14, 2006

I highly doubt he will do it this summer... BTW the Mountain Rangers or whatever you want to call them * most likely won't stop you. It is WMNF land.

On another note, run the idea by the guys at www.timefortuckerman.com/forums They know almost everything there is to know about Tux...

Frorider1 · Jun 14, 2006

Yes i know but the Conservation officer will be the one that reports you and gives you a ticket, I have gotten one before from an officer.

Yes, he is doing it this summer if Tuckermans drys up.

DH biker · Jun 14, 2006

Alright have the camera crews ready... just trying to say, if anyone was going to do this, it would be someone like Darren Barecloth... It is literally a series of drops.
