Alpine to Ripper?

Yes thats a trail, it was in an old race course

i thought they blocked that off after they used that for a race coarse, I could be wrong though

I have always had trouble with that little connector. It was an awkward turn.

i used to use the cut over all the time but tomany branchs fell in the way and dont feel like moving them

It's cleared out again, I've been hitting that line a lot lately.

frog pond has been closed all season which is a shame because its super fun...my only guess as to why they keep it closed is that since its kind of an off camber dirt section is that a lot of riders would just cause the trail to erode and just generally f_ck it up...thats only my guess tho

It's almost easier to hit that connector trail onto Ripper from Domboo instead of Alpine. Just go straight over Alpine where Domboo meets into Alpine.

I don't think the people that close the trails even know why they're closing them.

its closed because its always used in any race run on that side of the mountain. its like why they close the berms in the field, so no one can practice them during non-race weekends

same thing for the right hand berm in front of indy-x. i keep on forgetting they close it during non-race weekends.

speaking of races...are they gonna do anything to replace that section that was after lower ripper, by the flume drop? i liked that section...and if i recall, the race course passed through it one weekend last year.

hikers are people too...but not people who belong on the mountain haha when they had that event that was scary me and a couple buddies came rippin down an old race course and almost killed a very beleaguered hiker/runner...

Frog Pond: I've only seen Frog Pond opened a handful of times. That being when it was part of a race course, or the "go around" for freeriders to stay off the race course.

Hikers/Walkers: Someone at Diablo needs to talk to someone of authority at Mountain Creek lift operations........because, it's the lifties who keep telling people "when you get up top, you can get off the lift and walk around. There's a lake and blah, blah, blah..." I've heard it SEVERAL times over the past two years. It never used to be like that, and probably won't stop until some Euro-tourist and his 6 kids get run over by one of us flying down Bushwacker.

I got stopped by a flock of waterpark fags crossing the two big bridges on Lower Exodus :rofl:

AtomikMan · Aug 14, 2009

How many constitutes a flock and how do you know they were fags? Maybe I should start bringing condoms...

rossp · Aug 15, 2009

I "met" a family of uncertain persuasian walking up the ladders on upper exodus - thankfully I was a few feet in front of the rock and could stop before launching onto it... :eek:
