God forbid one ever has to pedal!They're still working on Flatliner. As of now, you don't want to ride it. It might be the worst trail on the mountain. Very boring, and you have to pedal at some parts.
They should put a rope tow or small lift at the uphill before tempest.God forbid one ever has to pedal!
i pedal up that sh!t.They should put a rope tow or small lift at the uphill before tempest.
I think when I drive 2 1/2 hours and spend $36 on a LIFT TICKET, and am 17 and work for $8.50/hour, I don't want to get there and pedal that much.God forbid one ever has to pedal!
I am not complaining about pedaling up to tempest. So what if you have to, it's a sick trail. I'm just saying I hope it stays to a minimum. I go to diablo obviously because I like it so much, but I also pay a big price for it to. Maybe your right, I was probably asking to much. After all, diablo is a great mountain.WTF is with people complaining about pedaling up tiny hills? Yes that hill up to Tempest is tiny, I usually ride it until late in the day when I just don't feel like it anymore. Bikes have pedals for a reason. There were some hills equal to that or bigger at Whistler, and more of them, but I didn't hear anyone complaining. And oh yeah, lift tickets are $50 at Whistler, and you either have to fly or drive 3 days to get there.

You mean FREERIDE trails. They stopped making downhill trails a year or so ago.I'm just saying, the entire point of diablo is that they're DOWNHILL trails.
and they have been taking them away. i have realized that there is not much of a use for a dh bike at diablo anymore. you could easily get away with a longer travel slopestyle bikeYou mean FREERIDE trails. They stopped making downhill trails a year or so ago.
WORD!lthumbsdown:and they have been taking them away. i have realized that there is not much of a use for a dh bike at diablo anymore. you could easily get away with a longer travel slopestyle bike
if i pedaled nobody would have a chance. Which leads to my humble riding theme of being short and low to the ground unlike you tall people that are so smug being all like o look how tall i am. Next Race i am going to race chainless with a cinder block on my back. Ill beat the whole facility.yes joey i know its factory.
id really hate to see some of you guys race.... complaining about pedaling and all. dont you guys like to go fast? you have to pedal to go fast. :biggrin:
permission granted i might have to check with the board members just to be safe. the committee was fine with it though.Well, I already have plenty of fun at diablo every time I go, without pedaling up anything. Right now I have no desire to race, and I'm perfectly fine with just progressing at my own pace.
So if it's alright with you guys, I'm just going to keep doing things the way I've been doing them.
1) to keep your b@lls off of the seat.They have pedals for a reason.
you better peep your tone. i think its a little agressiverep given
A little? The elevator was out today, so I walked up - good thing I have a defibrillator.hah, atleast you guys actually HAVE lift assist stuff. I'm in louisville, ky, and there is nothing around here but 5-6 hour drives to michigan, WV, and down south. We have Ft duffield.... 3/4 mile of freeride, but it's basically like climbing a mountain back up (unless you ride up the trail, but you get dirty looks sometimes). I have to pedal my coilair around the XC trails, it's really not that bad... I think you guys may be a little out of shape
Its sad but true. You even have to go up stairs so you might as well pack it in nowi heard you had to pedal from the car to the lift. is that true? ill never go there if thats true
this thread got funny
Why do people say that? I'm perfectly round. Is round not a shape? ECout of shape
