Sick, love that trail.

 

[PatBranch]

That trail looks so fun. How tall are those drops?

 

[kona-ryder]

THE Schleyer drop is anywhere between 8-14ft, depending on how you hit it.

I really hope I dont sound like that when im riding.
With the sound effects he was making it sounded like he was having sex, not riding a bike. lol

 

[tangata]

hahah, true dat... He kind of sounded like Cedric Gracia to me, anyone else think so?

 

[kona-ryder]

^^^True dat. At first i thought it was Steve Peat, then Cedric Gracia.

 

[dklopp]

I love that trail! But my friend crashed on it twice-once on the rocks (1 min and 3 sec left) and once on the rock after a drop (about 30 sec left in the video)-which was really funny. That is my second favorite trail there (only after Freight Train>Dirt Merchant>A-Line).

 

[norcalbiker]

are you kidding me? that was way too slow to be peat or cracia. Schleyer is good, but thes year i was really int joyride. Its a bummer that D1 was closed and garbonzo was so muddy when i went this year, but it was still good times.

 

[tangata]

norcalbiker... i know its not cedric... just said it kinda sounds like him

oh o.k. sorry i didnt mean to sound flustered, but the way i typed it it sounded that way. Yeah anyway, for some reason i used to enjoy schleyer more when i was slower. now it seems like the landings are too short.

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

Yeah, his line choice was not something a seasoned racer would choose.

true. I see lots of creative lines on schleyer

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

There are alot of lines that are about 482478347924829428 times faster than the ones he was taking. Alot of fun to be had on that trail.

sometimes, when I'm really pumped, I speak German too.

I remember when that rock section before the drop was not filled in wth dirt and small rocks. It was a few years ago. It was waaaay more techy. They made it much easier now.

i know. and they smoothed the approach for the glc. i agree with the decision because there just trying to make everything safer, but schelyer was fun in 05/early 06 as well

 

[muddy beast]

that was pretty slow, if it was a pro...cool though.

I like how he talks to us...hAhahahaha

 

[Boxxer]

Brings back good memories. Love the commentary....

THE Schleyer drop is anywhere between 8-14ft, depending on how you hit it.

I think that's pinkbike feet! The first drop right after the split from upper joyride is probably 4-5 feet. The lower drop is a little bigger.

Still a really fun trail though

haha I agree...

I read that and thought to myself, "wow...that was a super easy drop then!"

 

[SylentK]

After a couple of times we figured out you could keep your speed off the Schleyer drop and double up that big rock afterwords. You know, treat it like a jump on Aline...same for that rainbow bridge dealio.

MMMmmmmmm....hitting backside of giant rock on Schleyer....

 

[Netguy]

Lame. He rolled the first drop.
