...and now for something worthwhile. Joey, what's the elevation drop of Windrock? I'm curious...
From the top, its around 2500 ft. From the DH trailhead its around 1800 ft.
Hey, thats even more than Berrecloths 1500ft "biggest line ever" on the discovery channel. I owned berrecloth. Awesome.profro said:
That's too funny, I thought the same thingBurlyShirley said:
Yep, me and Doug did all 2500 one day on a goat trail.profro said:
Got down about two hours later.

Funny you say Goat Trail... Makes me think of Tyler going down the old Goat Trail in Greenville on his old Super8 at Mock Speed while blowing up his rear wheel. I wish I had that on video.Jeremy R said:Yep, me and Doug did all 2500 one day on a goat trail.

wow i had no idea that it was that much. damn, and dont you have to hike up to the very top of windrock or is there acctually a shuttle road going up there.
you take the old rail car line. well, you did. until joey jumped in and cut the line and flew to the bottom. he proceeded to yell "hell yeah!" and did it again.frznnomad said:
Nope, you can drive all the way.frznnomad said:
The trail that Mark and Brian built last winter started almost all the way at the top. It was a good trail, but not really a full DH trail. There are some sections that kick butt, but some other sections kicked your butt i.e. some up hill sections and push-ups. I'd love to see some full on DH trails all the way from the top to the bottom eventually. However you do have to cross several more ATV trails, which can lead to poaching problems. But what we have now is pretty dang special, as is.

yeah, who are you so we know who to look for in the parking lot?
sorry about that,
i know no one on here knows me, but joey and doug know who i am. i will have a tan gmc 4 door truck with a 12ft dump trailor. i made a frame so the bikes can hang on one side and a bench on the other side of the trailor for people to sit on. the trailor will hold 13 bikes and the rest we can stack wheels up in the bed of the truck. my name is devin and i will be riding but my wife is doing the shuttling. she may have lunches available for sale also, but not sure yet

Well if our group jumped in you would have no space for yourselfs.(we have like 25 people at least) But I do know there will be a bunch of guys coming from chigago. They may be looking for a ride up. It will be nice to have more than one shuttle going. This way we wont be all bunched up on the Mt.- JMintegrusllc said:
I was thinking of rigging my 20 foot flat bed trailer up like Devin's for shuttling as well. I will provide the trailer, if someone (I know and trust) can pull it. It will require a 3/4 ton truck at least. Its a pretty heavy trailer.
i've also got a small 5x8 trailer that i was going to modify for hauling bikes. that way doug you, terry, ben or anybody that wanted to use it could keep the bikes out of your truck bed. it's lightweight and would hold all the bikes that a truck could haul riders.
we could keep it down at the three way split in our trail(4 way split now) down inside the gate.
i also talked to vicky at the snack shack. she said we could keep it in their lot if we needed to.
i long ago got my $$$'s worth out of it. so we could use and abuse it.

me and my boy from asheville will prolly be there on sunday and he will have a truck with a hitch rack on it and can prolly fit about 8-10 people depending on how good our packing ability is. so all we will need is a little bit of cash and we are willing to run shuttles for you fellas, and joey we will be hitting up the rock all year so there will be shuttles comming from us so no worries there.
ohh and for the year pass where in the hell do we get them at. is it at the log cabin as you first roll up to the parking lot.

Good, then you can drive the shuttle. :nuts:dhbuilder said:
Thanks for all the hard work. I can't wait to see it.
i definately won't mind doing a lot of the driving while everyone's there that weekend.spoke80 said:
i never fail to get all the runs i want throughout the course of the year.
sending everyone home worn out and happy is the main goal that weekend.
(i can also ride rather well in shuttle mode !!)
i've said this before.spoke80 said:
one of the best places on the mt. when there's lots of riders,
is the parking lot right before everyone comes down from a mass run.
it starts out rather quiet, then one by one riders arrive. and it gets louder and louder with addrenaline and stoke as they roll in.
"stoke" is such a good thing.
Can we hit the road gap on the first run blind? Please station the ambulance.
I made my hotel reservation today. I can't wait to get down there.
