Who rode today? (6/7/08)
- Thread starter Film4food
- Start date
i was riding it on my ht, and it felt awkward to me. it felt like the lip was too steep, felt like i was riding into a wall and lawn darting lol. i think it is good spot and could have a lot of potential with all that space between there and green horn.
and for people complaining about the boxe and the kicker, it is not ment for full blown 8'' dh bikes. slopestyle is 4-5 inch bikes.
edit: they should make a wood kicker up to that box

All the new stuff is fun, as always the trail crew did a great job. But......Think about a trail with like 15 kicker jumps in a row, some small ones, some medium ones, and a few large ones. All spaced accordingly, with one large drop at the end. 
Add another why is my Boxxer sounding like it is going to snap. I had 110lbs in the air chamber. When I checked it it had 135. My Codes were not too happy neither. I guess the heat was hurting the bikes as much as it was effecting our riding. I rode both days but 2:30 each day was about as much as I could handle. Great weekend of riding anyway. Strip the bike down, rebuild, go ride, have fun. Repeat. It wouldn't be so fun if it was all easy.
I see your location is new jersey, so maybe you are close and can pick and choose bikes to bring a different days. But for the rest of us that travel 3+ hours to the mountain are bringing bikes to ride the entire mountain.
If the trail designers/builders (who are GREAT) build the features for slopestyle bikes than they would have a specific slopestyle trail/area. Even then...there is no way, in a money making business sense or to please the general crowd that making such trail not fun for DH bikes would be done.
Thats why there is some widespread dissatisfaction with the features.
i feel the same way about the features, but us on big bikes dont need to ride the trail if we dont wanna. cool stuff for people who happened to be on little bikes
hey man if you dont like that one trail, theres about 40 others you can ride on your DH bike. they are just trying to have a variety of stuff for a variety of people.
DIABLO just build more and there will one day be enough to satisfy everyone. The new stuff is all great because its different. The step up almost killed me but was a great idea and spot. Das wall needs a few more haybails crashed into the tree there ouch. oh yeah HOT AS ****
Reality Show is a slopestyle area and is marked accordingly. It is going to grow on a weekly basis so check it often for new features. The general consensus over the past few years was that park lacked slopestyle features and that is what the riders wanted, so Dominion was given a make-over and Reality Show was born. So far, the feedback on these features has been overwhelmingly positive, and more and more riders are showing up with short travel bikes.
Hot air expands.
yea it was mucho grande hot! my fork was not misbehaving though. it was enjoying the heat. i pinned greenhorn today!
...with yuroshek, he drifted and i was like pffff.
manual the boxes, nosey the boxes, just ride the boxes...
I ain't no trixter, but they're a nice touch of variety. I'd like to see Chase, GR or Adam Hauck swing through on an SS bike or HT and see what they can make the box do!!
Where're the new core DH trails at? Im looking for those with a certain kind of grin!!

I just want more of those friggin' kickers man, those things are some serious fun!
Dude, quite your freakin whinning. i myself live 3+ hours away and only bring 1 bike. also if your unhappy about all the features go somewhere else to ride, parklogic rocks, you suck
yeah so i like to ride bikes how about you guys? ummmm yeah and about that box just PIN IT YOU FAIRYS! put on some man pants and try it. dumb pvssy's!
I guess most people can't read?
Please, point out where i am whining. I simply stated to the poster before me that they wouldn't build stunts to please ONLY smaller bikes, i never said the features weren't fun on a big bike.
but i like my size 0 girl pants and eye liner just fine!
TRAVIS! I thought chris was the only one who uses eyeliner!
The majority of us ride DH or FR bikes. That's why people are bitchin' about it. why F' up a run with this feat in the middle? Not arguing one bit... Just sayin'. EC
What about the DH'ers? I've been asking for more DH stuff like BMW, Ripper, and Stigmata but nothing has been done! As a matter-O-fact, Slayer is now cut in half?
IS ANYONE HEARING ME?
Thanks, EC
none the less, they were still ridden trails...
oh of course they do. I agree with you completely. but i still love Evil Bob.
So should Dominion and these groomed trails be the only ones taken care of? Some of us ride technical you know. I have 8" f/r for a reason and groomed trails isn't it.
C'mon guys, diablo has to keep up with its reputation as being the skatepark mountain. Along with having the biggest concentration of sam hill wannabes on the east coast. :biggrin:
