I've been following Windrock developments for a coupla few years now and never had a chance to get down there til now. Two of us coming from DC, leaving tonight. Can't wait.
no, we didn't get to the southern rocks. we were told it was closed. the waterfall trail was a lot of fun that led to the road gap.About the shuttle - sorry if I or anybody in our crew came off as dicks but I told Steve before we started riding that our crew would get dibs on the runs but if/when we had room y'all were welcome to hop on. You should've said something once bike/body part attrition set in - nobody ever asked to hop on once the crowd thinned that I know of. That said, because of coaching first timers and addressing bike issues trailside, our turnaround wasn't much better than yours. It's usually just Brady (Turner DHR, truck owner), Brian (new DHi) and Jason (Big Hit) so the runs come around quicker.
sounds good! were you guys hitting those runs on saturday?you didn't ride any of the burly stuff at Windrock apparently. Dark Hollow, Southern Rocks, etc. Next time you come, speak up and ask a true local to show you the trails. If there's one thing Joey will do, it's show people every nook and cranny.
thanks a ton for all the effort you put in. you guys are truly blessed with terrain to work with up there.and now after some stuff was busted up on upper windmill, i'll be spending next weekend and a few $$$ to get that section to where it's rideable by a wider skill range than as it sets now with that new jump and sketchy landing zone.
a bridge up there that we've been sailing over at speed since that trail opened, was torn up by slower riders.Joey: were you holding out on a new jump on the Windmill trail? I don't remember anything with 12 foot gap
Maybe we can get together and play checkers or something.anyone know what his outcome was ?
haven't seen him post on here so i'll post this up.anyone know what his outcome was ?
repost another forum said:no. i blew out my knee. 6 weeks off the bike, but ill be back for sure. that mountain dont own me yet! haha. how was ridin on sunday? anymore crash reports?
....its not so bad, doc hooked it up wit some great meds. but it does suck that i cant ride for 6 weeks and on my 6th week i leave for colorado, to ride out there. hope i remember how to ride. lol
i'm pretty sure that when i paid my $15 to access windrock this weekend that those proceeds didn't go to the trailbuilders. they do it on their own time and $$ for people like us to access it.Quote--"a sign is worthless"
With that being said there needs to be an increase in safety regulations. If certain sections are washed out and in dire need of repair.....CLOSE THEM. Don't throw some skethcy ass jump to a death landing. And I rode over this thing as it was broken and did notice that the last 3-4 planks were missing. Not cool.

I'm not entirely sure what windrock has against signs, but its time that somebody implements them. Not only are there no warning signs prior to stunts, road gap, broken bridges. There are no signs on the shuttle road to lead you to the trails. For the first timers it's a pain in the ass.
Clearly Windrock is becoming more and more popular and with that comes increased stress on the trails. With that being said there needs to be an increase in safety regulations.
