Oh and nice photos Meghann!
Middle finger looks so nice! I must heal fast and come back to ride that trail DRY!

If you look closely I have the tabs turned around. The BB is 14.5"
Just showing everyone that you don't need upper body protection at WR. WR is ghey and slow.Jeremy R said:Sick Pics Doug.
Could have done without seeing your coin slot on that top jump though.
I rode my Demo a little today. Its done.
Just finally got back in town from riding windrock on saturday and sunday. I am really sunburnt but the trails were awesome this weekend. Everything felt like it was In such good shape and there were so many more trails and stuff since I was last there. The road gap was especially sweet to be riding that trail then just sail over the huge gap. I actually got through the whole weekend without breaking anything. Just popped a couple tubes.
Oh, I never thought of flipping the link. No wonder, with the link the other way around in the middle position, the BB height was 15".profro said:
what a great weekend! thanks doug and joey for showing me the trails. it was great to see everyone riding the tires right off the bikes and shuttle trucks. that place is such a blast to ride.
i looked at what was left of my tires this morning.dink said:
the few side knobs remaining are hang by a thread.
terry's tires are fully slicks.
it's fast when it's dry like that. but the tire bill grows weekly.
one weekend, one pair of tires.
always glad to see you come down and ride.
Pics look awesome......gotta be careful the boss dont catch me looking at them too much......
damn really nice shots, and looks like a really fun trail!
how rideable is windrock on a hardtail, I mean obviously you gotta go slow. But would it even be worth me bringing a friend out who's on a hardtail while i'm rocking a gemini?
It would suck.gemini2k said:
It would GREATLY depend on his skill level. I have seen a few heartly souls try WR on hardtails, but they don't last long. I would not suggest it except for the best of the best.

Bad ass.

Bike parts break...
Dave, who are you driving out to the East coast with? You got a team thing worked out this year or what? If you're driving you should drop in on the ARK too, it should be right on your way. I think we're rocking out an econo van with like 4 rows of seats.dcamp29 said:
I see the poison ivy is looking particularly healthy. You got to love it when it first sprouts up in the spring. All glistening with oils.
Awesome pictures. Thanks for sharing.
It's making me itch just looking at that photo!jdschall said:

Pretty much everything on the ground, less than 2 feet tall, and that is green is poison ivy. 
That trail looks DAMN fun. I'd almost fly to america just to ride that and the US Open track I reckon.
I would highly recommend it. You will pass it on your way to Sugar. It's ridiculous how easy it is to get to. Coming down I-40, just turn north on the 5 lane to Oak Ridge. Not a single left or right hand turn. 20 minutesoff I-40 (after passing thru Oak Ridge)you turn right on Windrock Rd at the end of the 3rd mini-bridge named after a dead guy (big ugly red buildings on the left side of the road). 5 minutes into the parking lot. TONS of parking. Probably more parking than most Nationals.dcamp29 said:
Well, I'll just pile on some more props...This place is absolute tits...I mean Jenna Jameson sized fun bags...Great weekend - thanks so much Joey and Doug!
I rode like a little bitch, but still had a freakin blast...Can't wait to get back up there...Although, I was disappointed no chicken heads showed up at the Super 8 motel wanting 'to use my phone'...
Seriously tho, good times at the Rock!

I ain't got nothing to do with it. Its all Joey, Terry, Brian, and Mark.jackalope said:

Let your kids play unsupervized in the parking lot with rocks and your wife can sun bath and swim in the creek.bizutch said:
wow, very nice!
the irony of your statement is that it's a autobiographical account of several families up there on any given weekend.profro said:Let your kids play unsupervized in the parking lot with rocks and your wife can sun bath and swim in the creek.
Hey Doug, I just found a campground called Windrock Campground on Google Earth. Is it a full hook up style one? If so...I've got a regional race germinating in my demented head....
that's a nice campground.bizutch said:
i've met the owner and he's a very good guy.
he likes to run a fairly quiet place.
it's about three or so miles east of our parking lot.
he has full motorhome hookups, and has put a bunch of time and effort into making the place quality.
i have a cousin who stays there when they bring their coach in.
i've spent a few evenings there and it's very quiet.
not what you'd expect around here.
Doug, you were right. Finger is broke but only a chip off of one phalanges where the ligament attaches, massive hyperextension.
looks like you'll be flicking boogs with the other paw....Taz said:
sorry about that bro...so you wouldn't be interested in doing the "Lure" this weekend?
Nope, no lure this weekend. This was my second back to back weekend at the rock. I was supposed to do that endurance race this weekend but even that might be out.bizutch said:
Where is this place? Looks awesome! Those trails look like so much fun!
Oliver Springs, TN. Just outside of Knoxville. Remember though, pics do not do the justice, the place is hands down the steepest place I've ridden. Steeper than Sweitzer, Brian Head, Snowmass you name it. Trail one gets out of control as I witnessed DHbuilder do and then myself do on the same berm. BTW that section is THE ****, def my favorite of the place. rooty turn into two big split boulders that shute you at mach 1 into a loose berm that if you don't make you basically fly off a ravine, then into another textbook berm. Just awesome.Total Heckler said:
