what trail is this
Sweet, I'll need to get up there one of these weekends...maybe this coming weekend? TJ? I think I'll be feeling a bit sick next friday...*cough*cough*:evil:
That is the x-zone at the end of Kamikaze.SXtrailrider said:what trail is this
great pics. now i gotta go there too.
Yo, alf and tj, let do it! I need to ride
Hmm, I don't know if I wanna risk getting hurt a week before my only 2 nationals of the year...Just kidding.
If I don't go to Vegas, I'm in!! We should ask Sanj. if we can stay in "the" condo.

Some more...
Isn't that called "Shock Therapy"?BillT said:
One of my favorite trails there. Craaaazy fast!
Nope, Shock Treatment is before that X-zone. That's the junction of Kamikaze and the X-zone.Biscuit said:
What's the trail with all the ladders? Something new? I don't recognise it.
I'm so pumped! I'm heading out from the 19th to the 26th of August. I'm the kid on the black Demo 8. Say hi if you see me.
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!.Pit Steelers. said:
By the looks of it, they ruined one of the sweetest/hardest sections on the mountain.
Is this the branch off of Kamikaze (go straight instead of turning left)? Where it used to be a series of nice, steep, loose, technical drops?
Looks like it to me and I'm dissapointed.
I like ladder bridges and all, but not when they are built over what would otherwise be sweet terain. It just doesn't make sense. :mumble: :mumble: :bomb:
:mumble:
Yep, thats the one Shock Treatment or what ever it is...they put these damn roll down laders..the day before it was drops. So they closed it and put thouse there...stupid

I beleive you are correct... and I agree. Ladders should be used to enhance the technical features, not simplify them.
Alf, I'll be up there from tonight untill the 29th. You guys should roll up and ride with me next thurs, fri, sat.Fonzie18 said:
Damn I was skiing there three weeks ago.
And one year ago I was eating bark off the trees where they put those new bridges.
I must be the tool they built those for.

Im taking two trips up thier at the end of august and in a week im going to whistler this is going to be a sweet august for me!!!!
I ate shlt hard the first time I tried to ride through there. I figured it out in later runs but that doesn't mean it wasn't gay..Pit Steelers. said:
That section sucked. Like riding through a bunch of right angle hallways at 2mph.
Yeah but once you got it down it was fun i think...even though i was only there for a lil when they had the drops..
.Pit Steelers. said:
I saw some pics when they first opened that line. Pretty small ledges that looked fully rollable.
by the time I got there during norba finals last year they were like 2 foot drops into totally pitted out sand. It was like pedal kicks to deal with the turns and ledges.
I felt accoplished and all but still thought it was kind of lame, mostly just because it's right off kamikaze and that first little speed double and you had to slow down a lot.. Now it looks like kiddie stuff though. Maybe it was better. Maybe I'm just a whiner.
Regardless, I'll be there in two weekends.
Thanks for the pics. I'm actually kind of excited now. Any sign of the new trails the website claims?
Orven and TYM would have had the same fate but luckily on our first day, each time we got to that section on ST, they had to stop, walk and pass by people mangled at the bottom of the "drops."kidwoo said:
But you are correct about the section that changed a lot. First, it was roller, then became a mini drop, then on our last weekend, they put all these logs..then the runouts (ie: sandboxes) got deeper and deeper..woopee
Originally, we thought it was fun bwec it reminded us of that one section on Dog Bone... mmm N*
In late Aug, we're there.
IMO Chain Smoke is a much harder then Shock T...Even when Shock T had the drops the rest of it was not to difficault...aside from the rock you can roll into a drop....i dont like sliding down bricks...but Chian Smoke is hard i think like that huge ass scary roller then I HAD TO WALK
: ...
But they set a deadline of having everything open by the 15th and it wasnt....only the lower mtn and Kamakize and Off The top were open from the top and from Mid (McCoy) only Volocity and Chain Smoke....but for part of the last day i was there Chain Smoke was closed.........but boy-o-boy is lower bullet fun.

sexy pics, mammoth looks sick 
Siiick! It looks like I'll probably be there in two weekends too. (first weekend of Aug). I just got invited by a brewer friend of mine and apparently there is some sort of beer fest that weekend.kidwoo said:Regardless, I'll be there in two weekends.
I'm on a bare-aluminum Sunday w/888 all Roco'd out. Say hi. I'll bake you some cookies.
a friend and i were the first riders to actually test the new runs at mammoth, the best new run there is probably dc 10, but its all about doing laps down velocity. ill be up there next weekend, if anyone wants someone to ride with jsut hit me up, im on a silver demo 9 wearing ridesfo or blue sombrio jersey.
So what...you think that makes you speical or something.?basikbiker said:
Yea.. tons of people have Sombrio jerseys...Pit Steelers. said:
I will never turn down cookies.Biscuit said:
I'll keep an eye out. Raw sunday shouldn't be hard to miss. I'll either be on a black dhr or a black uzzi vpx, black helmet, black knee pads, black soul etc. Yell kevin or something.
I've actually got to go down there for work this coming week. I usually climb up to chainsmoke or lower velocity after the hill closes for a lap or two. P.steelers pics look like enough info to justify bringing the hella freeride bike.
Hey scrimp......those pics are funny. Imagine some of those logs missing and about another foot of scour at the bottom. That's what it looked like by the time the hill closed last year. Where the logs went I have no idea. Mammoth souveniers?
sorry if my descriptions are vague, i know mark the head of the trail crew, and shock treatment is the ****tiest run there. im sorry if i live only an hour away, im just tryin to be friendly, and if someone wants someone to ride with its cool, im sorry if i like meeting new people..Pit Steelers. said:
becasue what i said was really hurtful.....
