A love triangle in which I was the dominatrix. Bye bye bitchAs grand as a thread on Hcor aboyt you, jon's and Shawn's love triangle
Hey swizzle dick, If you dont like it and think something should be done.... Than do something. Make up some pretty signs and bring them to the rock and put them up. We have all been riding there for years with no problem.(we made friend with the trail builder there and he is our personal trail guide)
The problem with Windrock becoming more popular... Is it brings outs people like yourself. You have posted up 4 posts,and have been to Windrock what?? Once, and YOU are going give the guy thats been out there busting his hump day in and day out for many many years advise on how to run his trail system. I say stay home or ride somewhere else. Leave the man dramma elsewhere. Way to make friends dork- JM
Damn you guys, the kid (or guy) was just giving his opinion, if you disagree with him that fine, but no need to belittle him. I don't think signs really need to be posted either, but I think he was just sharing his thoughts (good or bad). I don't think he was trying to start any drama nor do I think he was trying to tell Joey how to run the place.
BTW, what does the number of posts have anything to do with it? Hell John you only have 64!

I think it's funny that someone replaced Butch on Joey's sh1t list.
Oh hey John Chimp- I'm already visuallizing the duct tape over your mouth. Guess what I have ridden windrock more times than your mom, so keep your nose out of my post. If this site is the benchmark for # posts=great biker, well little boy keep it up.
You might want to think before you type away.

Did you read this persons post?? He was telling Joey how to run the place.....(put up signs, close trails) and whats the big deal I am "Just sharing MY thoughts". As far as the post count, It was in referance to the only time he has spoke up was to complain. Personally I think showing up making friends, then try to change the world is the way to go. With 666 post when do you find time to ride you're bike??- JM
Beautiful!
On a side note what's with all the hardcore attitudes its just one guy talking about signs.
I know a quote from a famous band of the late 80's or early 90's will bring everyone back together.
Signs *covered* by Tesla
Signs Signs
Everywhere there's signs
F*cking up the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign
Not taking any sides here but one of the great things about WR is it's ruggedness and the fact that once you drop in youre on your own. Making it to the bottom unscathed is entirely up to you. You can push as hard as you like and ride/or skip any section of the trail. Signs would take away from that effect not to mention take precious trail building time away from the few doing it. And, I cant see how anybody can talk about liability when all day long you see idiots on ATVs bombing up and down the road, around blind corners in the wrong lane with out any kind of safety gear on what so ever, hell some of them dont even wear shirts. When youre riding you always scan the trail ahead and if you see something sketchy then its up to you to decide if its worth the risk. In my case it usually is worth the risk and I always accept responsibility if something goes wrong.
You better bring a friend and a lunch, Because duct tapeing me will be a ALL day afair. As far as my mom she has NEVER ridden Windrock.
But you're mom..... she was there and we ALL rode her.
I am the far from "little" or a "boy" and I have survived Windrock plenty and never had to run away crying and snivilling. Maybe that will speak for my great biker skills. I am done with this tread- JM
Actually Tesla covered that song. It was originally written in the early 70's by the Five Man Electrical Band. Damn, I'm old
The only sign needed at WR should be placed in the upper parking lot and it should say, "Don't be Stupid!"

Awww, more wisdom past down by the elders shining a light for greater personal responsibility.
Hey is it ok with y'all if I delete my post? It's no longer interesting.
Less riding and more drinking...
Chill Shawn B. It's the e-world. Joey says you can't ride at Windrock...but secretly he wants you to. That way...if you were to ever fall, roll down in the parking lot with a boo boo or something else...he'd feel like he'd accomplised something. 'Yet another victim of the rock" as Joey always says.
Less talk...more hugs...let's ride.
Since when dose how many post you made on this bitch board have to do with riding?
This shyte makes me sick!!! There is less drama than this at haw ridge. This constant smack talking makes me want to sell my bike.
Look, the point here is that in the absence of a commercial enterprise running windrock, the trailbuilder(s) word goes. If its too sketchy for you, don't ride it. Some of the stuff I build for my own use and the use of my friends might not pass muster at a resort, but I better not hear any complaints unless I also see a shovel in your hand.
Be a contributor to the trails rather than a leech. If you think it's important to alert people to upcoming stunts, you can go and tie caution tape around trees for a few hours. I doubt Joey will stop you, but he's probably got a better use in mind for that time.

to the swizzle dick commenter and joey,why dont you guys chill your old nerves for a sec . all he asked for was some sighns, very reasonable.
why is windrock and or joey above questioning? as far as i can tell joey got nasty on here, not the guy asking for sighns.
it is 100 percent logistical and inexspensive to put up a small yellow sighn saying around this corner is a 20 foot creek gap that you cant see from up above, ride with caution.
and where do you get off thinking you can ban anyone from riding for an argument that you(joey) escalated , online of all places too. dont let your pride get in theway of the fact that your a 50 year old man, you should be the one seeing the practicality of people offering advice, especially when someone got hurt on your jump on your trails.
the level of arrogance on this board is uncalled for. everybodys a tough guy online, but stop and think about your response for a sec. the dh community should be coming together, not bickering and banning just to be right

hey stiff.
don't delete any of this.
because i'd hate to see the above statement disappear.
this wraps it up in a nutshell.
you can't win up here.
i either have someone crying to anyone who might listen, that i'm wussin the place out.
or i have a guy like this saying it's in need of signs so that folks won't get hurt.
and yet nobody seems to be standing next to me at lowes when it's time to lay the plastic down. ($132 just awhile ago. and that doesn't count the 5gallons of gas i'll be buying for the pre-mix for this weekend.)
dude chill out. no need to escalate things.
Because the guy doing the shoveling makes the rules. It's called universal trail etiquette and respect.
Not when it's coming out of his own pocket.
you can see if from a good distance.
again what exactly are you trying to accomplish here? Are you working towards a constructive solution or adding to the problem?
So now you acknowledge his trail stewardship which you previously said he had no right to ban anyone, at the same time you are implying he's accountable for someone else's misfortune. Think about it. All they are saying is hold yourself accountable for your own actions. Not some lack of a sign to remind you you're riding some of the toughest trails on east coast.
Exactly right.
This forum sucks and is quickly becoming far worse than pinkbike.
I hope the orignial poster deletes this abortion of a thread.
i'm outta here
Only when you guys make the trip down twice a year.
Wow- I never imagined it would be this simple to get everybody's panties in a wad over a few suggestions. I pay my 15$ every visit and overall I love the challenge that windrock offers. But if I present a concern don't fire back with that predictable self-aggrandising glory gab.
No one on this post knows me and therefore good luck with whole banning, forbiddance, prohibition from windrock.

While I sort of agree that the harshness that was thrown your way was a little excessive, you do need to keep in mind that it's not good to keep throwing gas on the fire. And maybe if you would have choose your words better, it would have been met with better results.
Now your just asking for an ass-whopping by challenging Joey that way. My guess is your first name is Shawn and your last starts with a B. Now how hard do you think that it is for Joey to go down and pull your info from sign up shack?
yeah especially considering most of the guys who sign the name shawn at the sign up shack can't even write, let alone spell...
"samb"
"shwb"
"shawan"
"showa"
"kawasakashan"
"shone"
"shine"
"shawn b"----------->
Oh man.....Shawn, you just stepped into a pile-o-puddin' my man. I think 90% of the regular South forum participants had this whole thread diagramed out before it even got off the 1st page.
Give yourself 100 points if you knew there would be at least 3 bizutch posts that, while on one hand, complimented Joey, but on the other hand, sniped him one or two good times.(Oil & Water, those two).
Give yourself 50 points for each poster who said your skills were the problem, not the trail.
25 Points to be awarded for each Spoke80 and profro post because they absolutely have to post in every thread about Windrock.
A measly 10 points for every panty that got wadded.
Another 25 points for every poster that helps defend your position.(hint: you only get one defense-poster per 3 pages.....)
Now......this is where it gets tricky: Give yourself 10 points every time Joey mentions how much $ he spends out of his pocket. 25 points for every time he mentions how old he is and how he can still ride every trail out there. 30 points go to you if Joey is able to simultaneously compliment bizutch, but yet burn him two posts later. And of course, 10 points every time someone gets told by Joey that he doesn't care what people think about Windrock.
So there ya go, Shawn.......an illustrated guide to every Windrock thread you'll ever read in the South forum. Try not to take it personally, though........A large percentage of the people here in the South forums are really awesome people to ride with and are good people as well. Just understand, we're not big on signage here in the South as a general rule---most of ours have bullet holes in 'em if that helps.
Oh.......and give yourself 50 points if you knew I would get burned for making fun of a Windrock thread.
oster_oops:
The way I look at WR and similar non-commercial spots is that those who build or provide some other service out-vote everyone else. Period. Talk is cheap and internet chat is cheaper.
I also support the idea that the harder the trails, the fewer users there will be, and therefore less time spent maintaining and more time building and riding. On the tracks I've architortured, many (most?) think them unrideable or lacking flow. Well, fine, I don't take it personally if they don't like, but they can find/build their own, or ride on the bikeclub's neutered XC trails, or they can pay their $37 at Diablo and if lucky can have somewhat of a say there (or not). I love checking out handmade local gravity trails, where you can see the personality and character of them come out in a way that machine or resort trails usually lack (fun as they may be). And that character is rooted in the character of the builders and the land itself.
Windrock lived up to my expectations in those terms but I do have a question about trail closures/openings: how hard would it be for Joey or someone to say to the first trailerload of shuttlers: "ok, before anyone makes a run, you've all got to clear off trail x" and then you all rapidly walk down in one pass opening the track or even tracks. We've done that up here and in previous places I've lived and it works ok.

Well, since last weekend. :biggrin:
Snap son you got me. Geyhound no doubt knows how much I love the public Windrock beat-downs so here's another 25 pts. I hear that after 1000pts you get one sign.
I'll have you know I snipe everybody. Don't go announcing that I give Joey special treatment. Next thing you know...people will be whispering of inappropriate things...
While I'm at it. Here's your snipe of the day. You're an old fart!
Will the sign say "turn around and go home?"
This thread is pure comedy and entertainment. Just read the entire thing.
Isn't that what this forum is for? Well other than imaginary bannings, swizzle dickery, panty waddings and new guy bashings?
The South Forum
Where people talk $hit all week long and then ride together on the weekend.
Isn't that how it's done everywhere? You broken-off bastard!
How you healing up anyway?
I only read windrock threads after they get to the 5th page, and this one is golden.
Well, I am shooting you a bird, but I am having to hold up three fingers.
Ha, it doesn't hurt, but this cast stuff is for the birds.
.....if there had only been a sign that said,
"Hey Dip$hit, don't flip over your handlebars and land on huge boulders."
This thread reminds me of this one time at Band Camp..........
Sadly it seems that the group I was with is getting a lot of recognition on this board.
To Joey: sorry that the guy on the Blur was such an asshole. I was standing their when qoute number 2 was stated and I just had to walk away. I hadnt meet the guy before that trip and he just kind of showed up with someone else so
oster_oops: . Also awesome work with the trails. I showed up with a full-face helmet and shin and knee protection but the place really opened up my eyes. I will certainly have on full armor next time!And to the guys that tried to follow us up to the top I must apologize as well. Most of us hadnt been there before and we were all at the mercy of the ATV riders who tried to help us out but just confused us even more.
