No, I think that was Headliners... Whatever video that was, next time you watch Earthed, notice that the same guy is in the background when the Balfa rider crashes on Ledges in the Mt Snow sectionCBJ said:Chain smoke 1 is a 100 times better no 1000 times better than the Chain Smoke 2. Isn't it also the one with the mullet guy, gold bike, 100% woop ass T-shirt and the mafia controlled dirt at the end of the movie?
NO WAY that dude?SuspectDevice said:No, I think that was Headliners... Whatever video that was, next time you watch Earthed, notice that the same guy is in the background when the Balfa rider crashes on Ledges in the Mt Snow section

Err... that's Richard Lancaster not Rennie. IMO Lancaster was one of the most talented,mtnbrider said:I have the second, but haven't heard about a first. The trail face w/ rennie is where I used to live-crazy trail gaps!!
And yes, that video, as cool as it is, does FACE trail zero justice. It doesn't even show the hard parts.bomberboy11 said:All I know that face trail is in CSII and the video cannot do that trail justice at all...
It actually does show most of the hard parts, its just the fact that Lancaster does them so effortlessly, their easy to miss. But if you built the trail, you should be able to clean it like he does. Props for being able to clean it without stopping/crashing, I've yet to do it, but I'm closeBiscuit said:Err... that's Richard Lancaster not Rennie.

The best feeling I have EVER had on a bike was the first time I cleaned that trail without stopping/carcasing. I miss it.

Yes, Rennie hits the SLO Road Gap.mtnbrider said:It was Nathon that did the roadgap by the morning glory/ shooters trailhead, right?
Is that step up over rock you see from the road driving to morning glory, shooters? I want to ride shooters;how long is it? I think I heard its not long.
In the movie, the rockface on face didn't look steep at all. I want to film my friend on there.
Hey, I just gave the names of the trails, I didn't give any locations or directions. I understand that Face is a secret and have never given anyone directions to it or posted pics of it. Out of curiosity, are you part of the wheelmen? If so, I'd like to meet you, I wouldn't mind doing routine maintinence and the trails that I enjoy so much.beaverbiker said:let's not keep telling people about the trail my friends and i maintain. we dont want people coming out here and wrecking themselves and getting our trail shutdown. and they will wreck themselves. trust me. leave slo alone. there aren't any trails here. if you're talking about riding down shooters, then face and our other trails are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy over your head. just ask bomberboy. i made him suffer all morning

Not justin (w/ the scott) (no way) -marlopez, I am going to make a video and see if he wants to be in it. Can you not just roll down face even? You have to clear and clean evrything?sleepinggiant said:Yes, Rennie hits the SLO Road Gap.
The rock jump in not a step-up, its a 22ft double. Thats not Shooters.
Shooters is short.
Trust me, the first part of Face is insanely steep. Which friend? The one with the Scott and Shiver? If so, no offence or nothin, but that kid would ger seriously hurt on Face.
Yeah sure..... Are you saying its dangerous to film? Yeah, I know...I'm no where near ready to ride that.bomberboy11 said:The Beaver did make me suffer all morning indeed (thanks btw). If you have any crazy ideas about doing Face, walk/hike/climb it first to see what you're going to go up against. Most importantly, make sure that you can do all the other trails in SLO before even thinking about doing it (but bring those hiking shoes). If you don't know what you're doing and you go into it without knowing what's ahead, you will fall, many times, and probably injure yourself very very badly.
Mtnbrider, if you can actually get a video camera out to that part of the trail without killing yourself and/or the camera, plus find a place to stand to videotape, then yes, go for it. Otherwise, you'll kill yourself - seriously.
As far as telling people exactly where it is, it's just up by Cuesta Grade near the 101. There's a bunch of trails going down from there. Face is one of them. If one of the locals goes with you to ride it, then cool. If they recommend you against it, it's for a reason. You die, no more trail. I'm not even sure what/where Shooters is, but if the Beaver says you shouldn't ride Face based on that, take it seriously.
Jumps? Where? Not on Shooters. Unless you call that 6" mound of dirt at the top a jump. There's not even anything to jup off of when you get bored.mtnbrider said:Why shouldn't I ride shooters. I heard all the jumps are to the side and they are really big.
bomberboy11 said:Knapps Castle/Snyder trail in SB has some "jumps" and some stuff to lip off of as well as two drops to start off the trail (big one on the dirt face where you park and the one that goes by the wire holding up the gate). A few drops on Tunnel too. All the jumps on Face are at least 15 feet long. They're mosly about the size of the big one you see in the video. Knapps would be your best bet. Little wallrides here and there on that trail too if you know where to look plus a decent sized hip jump.
bomberboy11 said:Nah, upper Tunnel is by far the best for hardtails...
^^^for about a 1/4 mile
Who says you have to be pinned going down Knapps all the time? .
