It's so on. I'm probably heading out Fri. after work so I can wake up there and ride all day Sat. followed promptly with a gallon of Captain to nurse my bones. If I haven't broken myself by sunday I plan on doin it all over again. That party sounds pretty chill to, might have to hit that up. Are you going to ride with us Stosh?

Can't make it for the Fourth, we have a party and fireworks, etc.Gk. Willie said:
Was thinking actually of a Platty trip, but is it worth it to go to Diablo
instead? Gimme a yell, I wanna check out your trails.....
Also, StuntMatty: Mike asked me to ask you to give him a shout,
if you still have his #.
My understanding is the same people who built whistler were involved with building Diablo, theres supposed to be tons of skinnies and drops and nice dirt jumps. Its pretty much the same mountain range as plattekill so I assume its the same terrain
That's not really what Matt said, I thought he said what you saw inGk. Willie said:
the magazine ad is practically all there is; and it's really wide. And for
what it's worth, Whistler was fun, but not THAT great! Maybe this year
when they open the top half, it'll be better. We left early and went back to The Shore!
Splattekill will probably be next for Ted and I. BTW, we went there right
after we got back from Vancouver, and can honestly say I like it as much
as out West!
Go to the MOuntain creek website and look at the gallery it looks sick. Besides Matt went to Snowshoe not Diablo. I dont know anyone whos been so I'm goin investigating. Ive always been of the opinion Plattekill was as good as anything around, but Ive been there and done that so It's all about whats next.
On a side note I just explored this rock quarry behind my house. Easily 50 drops rangeing from 5 -20 ft. Who needs Tryon thats my new home. I'm going to host a ride at my house in 2 Thursdays.

Cool! Call me, or post here maybe. PM maybe? You are right,
I haven't heard anything about Diablo, I was thinking of Snowshoe.
I'll look at the sight right now. I know what you mean 'bout Platty,
but camping there is cool.....
Also, it's tough with kids to get out much. What about the weekend
after next, for NJ? We can prolly' both make it then.

Just what I want to hear!!!!! Thanks GiantDHRider.GiantDHRider said:
GK Willie, If I don't get a chance to talk with you this week, I will be seeing you down at Diablo for sure. I need to get some extra hours at work so I can finish my floating rear brake for the Lenz :devil:
Diablo...here we come!!!! 
i'll be there july 3rd....and possibly july 4th
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Ralph call me, pass around the number.... So what is everybodys plan, is it pretty close to mine? GiantDh Ill be on a Red Dare w/888 sportin fox gear, if you see me grab me. I want someone who knows the place to show me whats up. I'll hit anything once usually twice. I want to hit the monster air dirtjumps in the website gallery :eviltongu
We dont have anything like that around here

Instigator and I plan to leave here Thursday around noon, if I can get him to wake up after working all night. Probably won't really ride Thursday, or just a light cross country. I'm really looking forward to it, as I went to White Face with the jackalopes last year and had only been off road twice and was in POOR condition. I feel a bit more ready and hope Ralph will push me to do some stuff he's knows is a bit beyond my current limitations. Can't wait to meet some other monkeys!! See you there!

Not sure yet...might be camping w/Instigator but it depends on the weather. Will you be joining us as well?stosh said:
I think we'll be getting there on Friday afternoon (early hopefully) and will ride Friday, Saturday and maybe Sunday (if the weather is good) and come home either Sunday night or Monday morning.stosh said:
I think Instigator said that he had a campsite reserved nearby...I think it was called Beaverhill Campground. We haven't really finalized anything yet...just heard the name "Diablo" and decided we must hit it!
neaky:Ok listen let me know when exactly you are going down Friday. Maybe I can squeeze a ride in after work. I work 15min from Diablo. Here's the thing I'm having my yearly huge a$$ party Saturday so that day is shot and most of Sunday will be as well.TreeSaw said:I think we'll be getting there on Friday afternoon (early hopefully) and will ride Friday, Saturday and maybe Sunday (if the weather is good) and come home either Sunday night or Monday morning.

I could meet you for lunch on your way down on Friday too maybe. You should pass right by my job.
stosh said:
Sounds like a plan. I will let you know when we finalize some plans. By the way, I think you might be coming down with something...you might just have to call in sick or something :devil:
I thought we were camping at stosh's house.
Bwahhhhhhhh yeah... it's that time of year. Calling in sick to my job blows because there is only 5 of us so you always get the 3rd degree when you come in the next day. I work with a bunch of hypocondriacs(sp?) so they always want to know what you have.TreeSaw said:

only 1 keg...I can't imagine how badly I would get beaten down if I only got 1 keg for deck party 
Yeah well I got like 5 coolers I'm going to fill with bottles. Plus I have a 4X8 stainless steel table like ones you see seafood presented in at a supermarket with ice in them. I have one of thoes I fill with bottles.TreeSaw said:
phew...I was worried for youstosh said:
