Butch are you trying to jinx me?
we're on the southern face of the mt.
so it blows right over us.
but up on top, we have a big double jump the doesn't have any wind block. you can easily get blown three ft. or more sideways off course.
that'll get your attention for sure.
there has also been 18 or so large windmills installed at the top of the mt. by the tennessee valley authority to generate electricity.
the those two words describe this place to a T.
wind.
and rocks. oh boy do we have rocks.

yeah...last weekend of the year last year we were all getting blown to flat ground beside the old landing on that top jump. It's the only exposed one on the mountain...but still a wild feeling every time you take off to land to the left of where you are aiming....

I noticed, maybe its just me but all this Windrock destroyer of worlds nonsense is a bit over the top.spoke80 said:
On a side note, I have been to windrock and the trails are top notch, the hours of labor are obvious.
Edit: spoke, that sig is funny ****, I laughed heartedly during that part of the movie. The hardly opening his mouth Sam Hill accent makes it even richer. I don't think many people have watched it through to catch that part.
The hype is just that there are not many places that have the variety of DH riding and therefore it deserves to be recognized! I always give props to the groomers when I am there.
yeah...Joey is the king of saying "another victim of the rock"...he love he trail dawg...biker3 said:
but in all seriousness. There isn't another place in the US that is like it...I mean...a paved shuttle to the top of an unmonitored mountain covered in boulders from top to bottom with EMS service, $15.00 access for all day and runs all over a mile long that are that steep. The more I think about how lucky we are to have the place, the more it makes me want to recognize it.
Since it isn't in a major metro area it doesn't get a lot of respect b/c all the Northeastern guys are so convinced that "their" spot is it. Plus since it's just "Joey building and people riding" and not some resort selling $4.00 pepsi's and 40.00 lift tickets and 90.00 hotels...it doesn't seem like it gets recognized as much as say Snowshoe when really it's on just as big a scale, if not bigger despite how huge of a DH spot it "should" be....
.........when is DHBuilder going to make Decline.....?....
BikeMag did an excellent profile of 3 trail builders a few months ago, was really good......2 of the guys were illegal builders and the head guy from Whistler.....

Spomer has already been asking me to do one...but heck...it's been closed all winter....plus my wife was going through a high risk pregnancy at the time and I couldn't be that far from home.

great relationships with the land owners and managers.
constantly defending the place from resentful a.t.v. and moto riders.
keeping out armed resentful locals from hunting while you're riding.
yeah, i guess i do have a lot to spew about.
good to hear from you too carlos.
i'm sure you saw some of the photos from when you were here last spring.
we used to drive past the "farm" when we'd go ride the dirt road up and out of frozen head to the fire tower.jdschall said:

i'd hate to know that the only time i'd be semifree is when i got to pick up trash on the side of the road.
i was looking around to see what everyone thought of windrock and i noticed how some people wanted to see pics of the terrain... dolby made an awesome video last year that should do the trick if you haven't already seen it.
