Diablo needs more top-to-buttom runs and generally more fun features on the bottom 1/3 of the mountain (loose fireroad ftl).

i vote for more dirt features like solid berms and larger jumps of any type. Wood gets old the 25th time you hit it, but dirt usually stays interesting the faster you hit it.

Kids' size slopestyle features would be bogus, and I bet George is the only guy reading this board who could ride a real slopestyle course.

Yep.. when you ride the lift up at Whistler you notice that less than 1% of the riders on the mountain each day are hitting any of the Rampage course. It's almost always a ghost town, while A-Line is as crowded as the West Side highway.

yeah when you see it in videos your like o wow i might try that but when you actually see it you poo. The only thing i did in the bone yard was the hip into that huge step down to step up. the smaller step up box and the dj section. and those were actually very big. RTN is about the size of the first elevation jump.

joey why do i doubt you did the dj section? cuz if it was anything like it was 2 seasons ago, those jumps were beyond huge over on the right side and if i remember correctly closed off too

I agree with the not going overboard. I have seen a couple of vids/pics of some hidden dirt trails, drooled over them for weeks, not only to show up and find that their "beginner" line is 7 foot high 60 degree lips with 18-20 foot gaps. It always looks bigger in person.

Go ride around in the woods at Highland Mountain. That place is small, but they've got a ton of cool sections where a man-made obstacle leads into a natural feature and vice versa.

diablo definately needs some larger drops. for example the new drop at highland looks sick as hell. diablo needs to make some 10+ foot drops!!! I WOULD GO CRAZY!! woot!!!

my idea of a really good slopestyle feature would be a lexan radius kicker over a motor boat filled with monkeys eating cotton candy onto a landing made of astro turf with motion sensored fireworks to launch as soon as you land.


MJ is that you ?

mini-mac likes going out with a huge scene eh? I like your style. Hope your e.13 bashguard can protect you from fireworks that accidentally head towards your ride when you land :biggrin:
