I wouldn't mind having a race go down slayer.
A Diablo time line...

fat lip is freakin awesome.
Remember when there was a dirt jump park at the base. It was crappy.
Or when there wasn't a hotel in the parking lot.
Or when the Diablo office was in the hot, gross tent.

remember when diablo did not block off all the "pirate lines" (this continually almost kills me)
Maybe I'm missing something, but doesn't fat lip just cut off, and then back in (like within 50 ft)?
Yes, but it should be called "rip your arm open on pricker bushes". I've never gotten a fat lip on that trail but my arm looks like I fought a tiger after I ride it.

Tru, tru...
Remember after the Jack there used to be a ladder up onto a boulder and then a ladder off to the 3-4' drop.
Also, I remember after the cheese wedges after you crossed the little bridge someone put up a rock that would let you jump over the pipe.

Why not have another reworked, non crappy dirt jump park at the base?
Im sure most have seen this, but for those who have not....

remember the FRONJ and when aaron chase and lars tribus reigned supreme at Diablo...haven't seen either in a while....remember team hcor.net with the blue jerseys on the chumbas? remember Thursday trail updates every week of the summer? the list could go on....and on
Highland style!Why not have another reworked, non crappy dirt jump park at the base?
YEAH!! That was the first drop bigger than a foot or two I ever hit. Followed Gumby off it thinking it was a roller......on my 130mm Enduro...Nice. Shame it's not there any more.I was so stoked the first time I hit that drop...
Maybe an E-rumor, but i heard that Aaron chase is banned? I do miss the trail updates though
Does anybody ride the skinny going into the second part of the jack?
What about the rock with the bridges going over them before the drop into the jack.

I still ride upper RT all the time!
Grip rock is the rock on Upper Breakout that's now ramped w/dirt on the entrance and exit. The trail used to be a little smoother than Lower Breakout, but not as smooth as it is now. You'd see this rock that just stood there and go around it. Only the advanced riders would "hit it". You'd really slam the front of the bike into it and suck it up. Now it's dirt on both sides and makes a lame ramp. EC
It's 1:07 on the second video.

My understanding was that there was some sort of falling out, that may or may not be true.
What IS true is that Chase's home mountain is now Highland. Or at least he lists them among his sponsors.
Now I would had thought Aaron and Jeff owed a piece of Diablo. As well I notices that PJ is no longer around and riding a Cove. Too bad some things have to change.
PJ was riding my cove for the last race. I lent it to him because im injured and i felt bad that he hadnt been riding for the last year.
Remember when Steve used to be called Dave?

The trail of which you speak is Evil Bob and yes I have been on it this year. It's all Good!

hmmm... please elaborate.
Its true heard it from the man himself. He did grow up in NH so it makes sense to call highland home.
Chase isn't banned, and He definitely didn't tell you he was.
I haven't seen that footage in so long. Remember when Alpine was fun?
"I see the snorkel in your face..."
and it rained the night before....................
Remmebr when they use to let hang out in the far lot (skiers right) for the races. We were even allowed to camp there!
Lower Alpine was a switchback to the cheese wedges after the tabletop. No progression drops or Sram berm.
Ripper, Utah, and Slayer the other day. Good stuff! I'm not a hucker/racer type, but just like chunky trails. Those kicked ass - me likey picking some lines and not just plowing through ****.
Only been twice so far, but some of the other "chunky" trails are on my list to check out next trip.

that funny considering you were in the jackson five when you were younger.
remember when 3.0 tires on 24 wheels and T.H.E. fenders were cool, remember when the lifts were ran by snow maker bob and not the evil lift nazi
werd, Tufino was a chubby motherfuker!
On a side note:
Selling a 2009 Morewood Izimu with RS Vivid 5.0 / ti spring for 1500.00
HOLLA!
Anyone remember Captain America? Karpiel frame and an MX fork converted over. Azonic Love Seat and Hayes Mags too. The bike was all red, whit and blue. He had stars in between the spokes on the rim.
