There are some shuttle-able runs (which can also be ridden to or hike-a-biked) around the Bear Meadows area, including: Old Laural Run, Spruce Gap (the Edge"), Wildcat Gap, Kettle (from Tussey Mountain ("the ridge") trail to Bear Meadows Road). None are terribly long, but probably the best...
I already purchased my SRS+ (I had to hope that it would fit - it did), but it'd be nice if this was added for others...
Bike Model Year: 2007 and earlier
Bike Brand: Sinister
Bike Frame Model: R9
No need, you're right on. As a "mid-learner" and "over-nighter" the value of the park is diminished with reduced maintenance. Erosion is to be expected, but a more consistent "patch-up" schedule may be needed to keep the trails in top shape.
That said, Diablo has made HUGE strides in the...
"Official" pics here.
Looks like mostly shots at the rock/step/drop section of Upper EC1. Mine came out pretty good, except for the look of constipation on my face. :imstupid:
Uh, oh. This track doesn't bode well for me since I'm not good at the technical stuff OR jumping. :huh: :D
I'll see you all there, I'll be the big guy on a sh1t brown big hit. Give a shout as you pass me on course during practice. I'm up for beers on Saturday night and Sunday after the...
OK. So you've got an '06, with the coffin link and a DHX Air.
Here are my thoughts:
First, some bad news - unless you have the wrong size shock on there (which would be bad news in and of itself) it sounds like your shock may be stuck down. That shock size should be 8.5" by 2.5", which...
Hmmmmmm.
AFAIK the last year of manufacture for the Supermoto was 2006. I know when the Titus demo van came around my area in the summer of 2007 the did not have any Supermotos and I was told they had been discontinued.
Does your SuMo look like this? (This is my wife's '06 model) The...
That build looks just fine.
What year is your frame? Prior to 2006 the Supermotos were available in a couple of different models - DH (longer chainstays and more travel) and FR. The 2006 model was standardized (more of a AM/FR version) but with several shock options.
If you've got the...
In what way did you struggle? Some of the trails at Diablo are a challenge for a not-advanced rider (speaking from experience here) regardless of what bike you're on.
How is your SuMo set up? What rockers and shock are you using? What fork, stem length, etc.? Are you running your saddle...
That all sounds great. I was hoping that's were the course is going to run...those berms through the trees are a blast.
I agree 100% that the lowrider tables are more dangerous than the showtime line. I'm not a good jumper and would still rather ride the big ones. Even though I can't clear...
Do you know what the Cat 2 and 3 course going to be? I know the website says EC1 to 007, but those trails mostly run parallel to each other at the top of the mountain. Is it EC1 to 007 to The Glades to Helen's Woods? And what jumps at the bottom are being used - Lowrider or Showtime?
As of...
I got a set built up by Red Barn for my trail bike, they seem to be holding up well. But an initial turnaround quote of "a few days" turned into over five weeks. I lost over a month of riding last summer due to this. I was not happy.
According to the website last call for registration is 10:00am on Saturday. Doesn't really indicate whether you have to be pre-registered or not. Maybe shoot them an email or give them a call.
Anyone heard whether the Diablo front office is going to streamline the lift ticket purchase process? On Sunday morning between 9 and 10am the wait was almost 45 minutes. That just seems excessive, especially since that wait is eating almost an hour from riding time. There was lots of...
The races are being called "Giant Slalom". The first one is at the US Open, they'll be more throughout the year. Check out the Diablo Website for more info on races and a map of the mountain. Generally the course has been open whenever the mountain is open for riding, unless they close it for...
