When will "THE ROCK" be opening for the season, we can't wait to check out the new "CHUTE" in person.
Wind Rock season opener????????
- Thread starter WSR THE QUOTA
- Start date
I think the offical opener is April 27-29th, but that's only a guess on my part. I think that's the weekend that the HGR guys (and gals) are coming down from "the Great Lake State". Also a bunch of us from the Carolina's and Georgia are planning on being there.
I smell a....
Yes, that's the weekend we are coming down. Any earlier is not a guarantee on riding due to the weather and trail construction. No one gets to ride until after Joey and his crew (one or two other people) get to ride the new trails.
On that note, if you like the new trails (or even if you don't), throw a few bucks to Joey for his gas/tool fund. That guy spends a ton of his own cash and a lot of sweat so we have a good place to ride.

just got back from up there.
been running barbed wire along some of the sections of the windmill trailhead.
amazing where i've been locating the a.t.v. tire tracks as they sniff out a way to get in to where they know they don't belong.
brian, mark webb and i are in a push to get the windmill and new trail ridable a.s.a.p.
when we're not sleeping or working, that's where we've been of late.
i don't even want to think about all the hours we've put in up there this time around.
i've been up there every weekend since the first of november and most wednesdays.
and quite a few five or six days in a row sessions.
brian has done the same.
he works nights and goes home and grabs a few hours of sleep and gets up there and works till just enough time to get home shower up and go back to work.
day after day.
everyone needs to meet him and give tons of props to his effort up here.
i can't do without him.
as for the rest of the locals..............

ahhha hhhhaaa...misunderstood like me?
I've been ATVing lately.
that and the fact that this has been the winter that never materialized.
letting you guys ride just about non-stop.
hardly any rain or freezing temps.
right now the rock is powder dry.
i had meth mouth after sunday's leafblowing session.
Yep, Pisgah is actually too dry right now,
and I don't even want to talk about my crumbling fart dust dirt jumps that used to be red clay.
I just bought a flower waterer for them out of desperation.
i know what you mean.
we've built a section that has a jump onto a step on-step off into a hard left-right turn over big rocks.
weeks of dirtwork was put into the section.
and it initially packed as hard as concrete.
sunday as i was walking down to it, it was almost all powder.
we're about 10 inches behind on rain going back into the fall.
believe it or not, the place (especially the new trail)is too DRY to be ridden by the masses just yet.

While out on my 4wheeler, I checked out Snakerock the other day and it was inches of dust. 
i've strung out all the barbed wire just below axle height.While out on my 4wheeler, I checked out Snakerock the other day and it was inches of dust.
Can we say "rebar"i've strung out all the barbed wire just below axle height.
Well damn it, where am I supposed to ride my atv? Maybe I'll go ride it at Bigfoot.i've strung out all the barbed wire just below axle height.

Somebody decide soon when the season opener is, I've got to go down to Pigeon Forge sometime in April and I want to head to Windrock during this trip. It would be great to go to Windrock when there are lots of other people to ride with. I'll gladly chip in on Gas or whatever to support the shuttle.
plus we've all got to catch up on our forearm pump skills...
i think we have other plans for that weekend.
(just as soon as you let us know when that is.)
Mmmm, Steakout.
back to the original question.
not a whole lot will be fully ready before the end of april.
that last weekend would be a good bet.
You better watch out for fires. Haw had some fires in it yesterday. I could see the flames from the Edgemoor bridge.
yeah.
i was talking to ben earlier about that.
i realize they had that house and the life development center to think about.
but the dozer does 100 times more damage than a leaf fire would do.
let it burn.
all their trail work won't go up in flames.
but that dozer sure would make a mess of things.

I might try to make it next Thursday.
Are you talking about the BMX track cause its open today!
Mmmmmmmmm....... 
yeah if it don't rain I think we might try to get a few runs in and let the kids ride alittle too!!!!
long drive to get rained on. Do you still have your GLORY??
Nope. I heard you got a Demo.
no James got the demo I am still on the 77. did you get somthing new?
Not yet.
