NC DH riding Sunday?
- Thread starter weezer23
- Start date
If you don't get any better offers, I will be sessioning my home trail Sunday (if it stops raining) and you are welcome to join in. Anyone else want in?
Got given a green light for tomorrow or Sunday for some real riding. You heading to the rock by chance?
Well....only 20% chnce of rain at Windrock Sunday. It will be wet from all this rain...perfect. Change of plan then, who wants to ride Windrock Sunday?
Wanting to take your brand new helmet down Southern Rocks?
Fixed it for you.Wanting to scratch your brand new helmet down Southern Rocks?
Push Mattycakes down the trail today Clealan and make sure Brookiepoo rolls in the poison ivy/oak again too.
Just called the snackshak and windrock will be closed till April = something about blasting/mining.
Sorry Randy, can't wait. Brook picks up PI if its within sight. Sorry for highjacking your thread Drew.
Fixed
No worries, just trying to find somewhere to ride on Sunday. Been killing me to get out and ride some good DH.
You're actually 100% accurate. Gouged my D2 on only my 2nd run in it.
At Clemson, Sam Anderson got a great pic of my first run on the wall when I wiped out INTENTIONALLY holding my skull off the ground to keep my new lid from scratching.
It's my first new helmet since '05. Can't blame a guy for tryin' to keep it purty.
Windrock it is. Gonna head up with Clealan. Buckle up.

I dont blame you Butch, it pisses me off when I get a scratch. After I broke my neck the shoe, my helmet was toast and its been discontinued. I was able to find a very slightly used one on ebay and was so STOKED! I love my Bell Manic Pyscho!
Windrock is open. Moto is just trying to hold us back till his shoulder is better. I'll let you guys know what our plans are for sure shortly
Sounds good, we would probably head out there saturday evening and camp somewhere that night. It would be good to get out there with people that know the place. We have never been.
OK its on then. I will be there with whoever I can round up at around 10am. Get your permits at the snack shack then meet at the parking lot on the right above where the four wheelers park, just before the bridge over the creek. Grey Dodge 2500. There is a nice campground there at Windrock.
il bring a canopy out, bring chairs if you got em.
Tell'em Alex ....the canopy is for the falling rock off of the mountain!
Randy, i can let you borrow my copy of downhill domination, it helps significantly with the withdrawl!
Please DON'T "bomb down" the trails flying by at break neck speeds if you see a hiker, hikers or a horse rider or the horse people; and the few xc riders how are serious about there climbing skills. Not being respectful on the trails and those who use them gives us "gravity" riders a bad rap. Be heard first and seen by the others on the trail is helpful with all parties involved.
This state needs more DH riding with all of the amazing topography NC has to offer it blows my mind that we have to fight for trail with the horses and XC guys. There needs to be more DH specific riding where horses and the XC crowd are physically unable to ride up. Then you dont have to worry about hurting someones feelings when riding your gravity rig. Anyways, whats the earliest people ride/shuttle Sugar? Figured the ground stays soft for a few weeks with the snow melting.
Might have a change in plans with Windrock, my buddy that was riding up with me now has plans with his women. Might just ride Clemson tomorrow with it being a lot closer.
The problem is if you mention the phrase "Bomb down" or "Downhill" or "Shuttle" etc...etc.... it prompt's the Nancy-naysayers and Rachael rulestaters
So stoked to get to WR again tomorrow. Its been a long time. Fast Eddie is comin' too. Goal 1: Stay healthy. 
Not sure but Clealan may have rom for one more.

Man...what awesome conditions today. Most everything was bone dry. Had a great time riding and finished with a solo run down southern rocks to make sure I got that good Jello arms feeling. Good meeting rocklobster (Alex). Even ran into profro on his Moto.
Only 1 casualty.

Explain this casualty...
How did the part we work on go, the berm/trail leading up to the double? Justin nd I are going to work on the run-out up til the sharp turn next time.

I can't believe given yesterday's conditions only one group out out-of-staters were riding Windrock. Furthermore only one local was working on trails. I guess I can't complain anymore since I was there riding moto instead of working or DHing. 
Well, I can't ride on Sunday's. So after Justin and i rode WR XC we headed to that side of the mountain even though it was raining to do the work. So we got some sort of riding in at least.
BTW: excellent work on that stuff!

Were this Fight Club, I would not disclose because his spouse would kill him. Eddie took a tumble and is gonna see if the ribs will heal unnoticed by the missus. If she finds out, he might be forced to sell his rig, so I promised to not go Facebooking it.
Berm and run in to the dubs was nice and clean. I'm never a push back up and jump kind of guy, so after I missed it, we just continued on our merry way.
Wow, I always forget just how much work has been put into those trails and how many variations there are. Heck, the closed trails are almost as many as the open ones.

Nobody can crash like Eddie. The dude is world class......not only for the ferocity of his crashes, but also with his consistency to do so.
Heal up man.
Heal up man.
Guess he'll just have to make her get on top.
Gas is $3.65 a Gal.
Sucks!!!

I wish I was only paying that right now.
Yep, I paid $3.99/gal for diesel yesterday and as such I changed my afternoon riding plans to a locale on the way home to save fuel. Making these choices sucks.
Welcome to South Florida. Might have to be a little more selective on my trips this year
Supposedly gonna hit $5 per gallon this summer.
I'm riding the dual sport to work as much as possible to save $$$ for trips.
Just bought a Suzuki GS 500. Costs $16 to fill up compared to $65 for my truck. And it gets 50mpg lol.
