Today was most likely one of the hottest days of the season and let me tell you, i was not ready for it at all. I brought a nice sized cooler with about 10 waters and a lot of ice, and i had to drink about a bottle between each run. Who else thought that today was a super hot/sticky day?
Who rode today? (6/7/08)
- Thread starter Film4food
- Start date
i think my fork overheated! i drank about 2 gallons of water. i had to leave at about 2:00, it was too much. i got some good runs in though, im happy.
I thought today was perfect. Hot for sure but super had a great time.
i was gonna bring my swim suit up on the lift and go jump in that lake up top! it was looking very refreshing. i might do that tommorow.
I was wearing a Black and yellow helmet and was sitting down on my ass on all trails... you got a picture of me?
lol
good seeing you today, bro!
yea, i think its gonna be like today though, im takin it easy all day, well.... to an extent.
i was on exudus like 3 weeks ago, some kid was on the otherside, he scared a bunch of deer, and they started runnin in front of me! i was to chase them down the trail. they were scared ****less, i felt bad. i guess they gotta be kind of used to the bikes by now.
i think so! lol jk you gonna be up tomorrow?
btw i got bad sunburn just from takin my jersey off during runs.
anyone hit up reality show? or was it still closed?
And Dave...wat kinda helmet cam you got?
And Dave...wat kinda helmet cam you got?
i'm 85% going tomorrow....
I don't really have a helmet cam, i "taped" my Hi-def camera to my helmet and the results were... EHHHHH... you'll see, not that great... would have been better with out tall the vibration... sux...
but reality show was open and i got helmet cam of me hitting it..

reality show, i thought it was a waste of time to be honest, too short. i think they just opened it so people could get a little taste. i hope hey make it branch off to the left into the woods like on the the left of showtime(or whatever that trail is there)they said theyll be working on it all summer
get this, mine stopped. i think. it cooled down or something. thats weird though. moisture? seals dont like heat? idk!
My fork still makes that clicking sound.... it makes the sound after for is compressed about 20%, very annoying in deed... wtf.... I may need it rebuilt... maybe not, the fork has been spiking after about midday... weird.. felt great in the AM....
That would seem pretty logical, looking forward to a nice day tomorrow.
weathers looking awesome tomorrow, http://www.weather.com/outlook/recreation/ski/hourbyhour/USNJ0531?from=dayDetails_topnav_ski
That was DThomo and his crew, I swear on it!!
Its right next to lower dominion, like a matter of 6 feet....if you hit lower dom you cant miss it.
IMO its an incredible waste of space. The kicker is cool, but that box is flat out stupid. What is there to do on it besides ride over it? Maybe some tricks if you are on a park bike, but i go there to ride big bikes. IMO that space could be used for more of those kickers...those are incredibly fun.
I agree with that, lose the boxes & build more kickers, those wooden kickers just may be the most fun features at Diablo.
no, thats upper dominion. if you enter the trail for the top of lower, right to the left is the entrance for reality show. its been marked off with tape for a while
I was there yesterday - rode from 9 to 1 then recharged and went back out at 3:20.
The "Fun Box" (as it's called in skatepark terms) I don't mind, but it's that you need to grab a few pedals to get up on it if you are on a full-blown DH rig. I could see it being cake to blast over that on a 4-inch travel bike or a hardtail though.
To make it easier to do tricks off of it I think the Trail Crew could widen the dirt deck that's on either side of the box - that way if you are going for a manual or a nose-press and things get crooked, you can roll off the box safely instead of winding up in a pile down below the dirt "deck" / tabletop that the Fun Box is built upon.

Yesterday was fairly brutal. Didn't actually get on the lift til probably 10:45 (despite getting there at 8:30) since i discovered that my rear brake was shot as soon as I took my bike out of the car.
Did a bunch of runs, and by the time we got tired, it seemed like almost everyone had left, so we thought it was around 3:45-4:00. Went to a Mexican restaurant, ordered food, finally checked my cellphone, and it was only 3:15. Must've stopped riding sometime around 2 or 2:15. I don't know if it's just because I'm pathetically out of shape, but the heat took a lot out of me and made me feel like I was riding for much longer than I was.
Oh and for the record, I don't like those boxes either. Tried to take one today and completely wiped, went OTB and ended up in the bushes next to the box. I guess some people could find cool ways to "trick off" those boxes, but for me, I'll probably just be riding around them from now on.

Vey true. Box is fun nonetheless.
