    Diablo rumor

    Why are season passes still even a revelant discussion? Basic common sense should tell you that previous management has your money and new management has no way of transferring that money to their accounts; therefore, anything tethered to Diablo is void and you need to jump on the chance to...

    Diablo rumor

    Talk about sour grapes. Shawn has his finger on the button tonight. From my comment about MCBP to getting booted from the fan page was T-minus 6 minutes. Attaboy. Make it seem like 100% of your customer base is mourning the loss of Diablo and oblivious to a new dawn on the horizon.

    Diablo rumor

    People like Marc are what give me legitimate hope that Mt. Creek can be brought back to its glory, not only in the considerations of the trail system but also the overall atmosphere. Leaving personal issues aside, when I first started riding Diablo in 2006 it was a different feel. The trail...

    Did anyone go to Diabloween?

    Great to finally hear from you in person, Brad. You had everyone scared ****less after the hit. For what it's worth, a lot of people were expecting much worse than you sustained (though the damage does sound pretty gnarly), and I think everyone checking in on this thread is breathing a sigh of...

    It's a joke, amigo, based on the fact that supposedly most of the staff got injured biking...

    Diablo ski trails growing and bike trails shrinking

    Just something to keep in mind before anyone gets too out of hand: I can pretty much guarantee that it was not in Diablo's business plan to "lose" Flume Drop or Crap Chute. In fact, heard from Shawn O today and I can tell that they were pretty gutted about losing this stuff. The main peak is...

    This is crazy talk on a hundred and one levels.

    Diablo ski trails growing and bike trails shrinking

    My sentiment exactly. My buddies and I renewed our season passes for 2010, partially because of the proximity to home, but at least for me a large part is due to the fact that 2009 was the first season we (the riding community in general) collectively noticed a considerable amount of red...

    Did anyone go to Diabloween?

    I'm sorry, but I guess it's all what you make of it. Weather conditions weren't the best, but my buddies and I had an awesome time playing the Manhunt game and had to applaud anyone willing to throw down on a set of muddy tabletops. Seemed like a lot of people were having a pretty good time...

    Design/Art Monkeys

    I have to agree with 46chief on this one. Would you walk into a bike shop and ask the mechanic to rebuild a fork as soon as possible, for free, because the last shop you took it to dragged their heels on the job? I would be happy to share my talents and expertise with members of the...

    Any Hints On The New Stuff

    Long live Evil Bob. Hope they keep some of those sections as raw and gnarly as they used to be!

    Where to find DIRT cheap (crappy) tubes, brake pads etc?

    SETUP: Twice a year, in beautiful Old Bridge NJ, the Englishtown race track hosts a 3-day auto swap meet which my pals and I have been vendors at for the past 8 years. Usually we have a few odds and ends to sell, but mostly it's a social thing. There has been a massive uprising of a bicycle...

    looking for a bike shop in NNJ

    Have you ever gotten in your car and driven from Stanhope to Brooklyn? I wouldn't consider it 'nearby' or 'convenient' by any stretch of the imagination.

    Aerial Photography of Diablo for Races & Events

    The Google Maps shots I used for the trail map seemed about as good as you might get, considering that 90% of the trail network is buried in the forest...

    looking for a bike shop in NNJ

    CYCLE WORKS. No doubt, your search will begin and end here. Located on Rt. 206 in Stanhope/Byram, near Lynnes Nissan and the Shop Rite. Shop co-owner John Nicholson is easily the best mechanic I have met in my life, and people I have met from around the country note him as one of the top as...
