It was awesome and I highly encourage a full face for anyone who has little experience, even on the easy trails. I was glad I had one! Over all though, the fun WAY OUT WEIGHED the ouch factor!

Nice pics, guys! With a little more planning on my part, I will be there next time for sure. The drop to rock tranny looks excellent, and the BMW trail... well, I guess it would help to have a BMW to ride that. :D
Yeah, with side-curtain airbags :help:

GOD DIZ-AMN!!!! Berms, jumps, bridges, fast trails.....Diablo has everything. Those pics are sweet. Glad you guys had a great time. We need to plan a trip there real soon. I really miss being able to use a long travel bike around here and I'm starting to crack.

I was wondering how long it would take you to find this thread :devil: We're down with going to Diablo again, although our weekends are pretty booked for a while. :think:

1. - Dunno, weekends are pretty booked, like Treesaw said.
2. - Was there 4th of July, conditions was great with barely a lift line. Maybe in a few weeks??? (see 1)
3. - Be hard to do justice to them both in a single weekend.
4. - Matty can answer that
5. - Can't you just make one? :D

I know you know what's up. The future looks bright. I'm not providing any details here though. PM me your email address so we can discuss it further. I've got a bunch of ideas I'd like to run by you.
