Me and some guys from NewOrleans gonna try to make it.
Hey Kring what Hotel are guys staying at? Oakridge?
You guys mind if I help with the mode? Oh and how about shuttling too?spoke80 said:
We are staying at the Best Western. There are better places for a ton more cash (comfort inn) and some real dumps that are not much cheaper (super8).LOOnatic said:
Here is a post from our team's message board. There is a rowing event in town that weekend so get your reservations in now. And don't take rooms in our block. That said, I think the hotel has room for you and you should be able to get our group rate.

So when exactly is opening weekend? Couldn't find a date in this thread.
John M. is setting us up with shuttle accomidations since we are showing up with so many people. Sounds like there will be plenty of riders to fill up all of the shuttles.dhbuilder said:
From everything I have heard, I wouldn't be surprized if there were 75-100 dh riders there that weekend. I think we had 25-30 in the fall with just our group and Doug/Moorwood guys. Last spring we had around 40 with our group and all of the others that showed up. This trip is going to blow that out of the water. Should be a good time. We might want to post this up on the DH board and over at Hcor. The ATV club would be blown away if there were more DH riders than quads.
PSA: no skidding, no stopping just before drops or in the middle of the trail and most important: donate a couple of bucks to the trail fund.
The weekend we are talking about is April 7th, 8th and 9th.DHracer1067 said:
Hmmmm, yeah. they will have to click the link for that.dhbuilder said:
awsome joey. ill see if my boy in asehville is willing to make the trip to the rock on sunday for a day trip and we will be able to run some shuttles for you guys to lighten the load off you guys. this is the best damn news ive heard all week man. thanks for all your hard work and cant wait to shred it again.
yeah...Kalen stopped on Southern Rocks to admire your work and I freight trained up behind him and flipped on my brand new D2...hah hah...only with Kalendhbuilder said:
I am not a NASCAR fan, but I heard from Jay Leno that some dude that drives a NASCAR named Sterling Marlin can read a newspaper from 20 feet away. Thas f'n impressive. If thats what it takes for DH racing I'm screwed.
Sterling Martin is one big boy. I doubt he could make it 30 feet down the trail at Windrock and that is giving him a few bounces.
probably alot of people that the first drop in at windrock would do that to also:hot:profro said:
nope and that is what is just so damn awsome about it. joey again man keep up the good work and cant wait to shred the new stuff. ohh and last time i was there in october i wasnt able to pay for shuttle fee so i need to give terry his much deserved gas money. well ill talk to you guys later and ill cya opening weekend.
Tell you what, give me your hotel and entry fees for S.O. and I'll go in your place.:trophy_brTattooo said:
And as for the 2nd wife, why don't you get your first wife to keep her company while you ride?
I sketched out a map of the trails at Windrock last night. It's not exactly to scale but it should suffice in getting you around. Hopefully this can be printed from this page, but if not, pm me and I'll send you a copy. Also we can bring copies the first few weekends to give out. Just thinking this will help familiarize new riders with the trails until we get them GPS'd.

And if someone could enlarge this on here for me that'd be great.
cool map.
hopefully that'll help out the "geographically challenged" amoung us.
just don't stop in the middle of the trails to read it !!!
we'll also try to put up some sort of sign at the three way split. (no make that, four way split)
but if not, then just pick a trail and rip.

I tried, but it gets distored and unreadable.Wndrckr said:And if someone could enlarge this on here for me that'd be great.
Maybe someone else.
Oh, the cut over from SR to Drop Out/Off Camber is invisible. Is that meant to be? I saw that the other day when I was up there walking around. I saw the trail, but it looks like it has been allowed to grow back over.
we haven't done anything to that cut.
it's kind of a waste of a trail. you either hit dropout from the top or ride southernrocks from the top.
i rode it a couple of times last year and didn't think too much of it.
i'll try to get it cleaned up if you want it. but it'll be pretty low on the list.
maintanence is going to be a very labor intensive chore this year with all the new trails added.
we're hoping that heavy doses of round-up early this spring on the trailbeds will help.

also, the first double will get "shaved down" a little bit at a time to throw us out farther instead of up high like it was doing.
the next jump down is going to get streched out farther to get the same result.
a small lander exstension will be put under the new upper rockgarden bridge, so you don't have to boost out to clear the creek edge.
and the r.h. turn in the waterfall may get bermed quite a bit.
we have a massive amount of fresh dirt nearby now, and i'll haul it bucket by bucket up to it.
as soon as i can hit the other three jumps ya'll hit. i'll decide whether or not to shave the lips down a little to de-kick them.
i want distance and not elevation on all three. especially the road gap.
for all we did this winter, i'm real happy that just some minor re-tuning is all that's needed before we let the monkeys in.

Let me try this again... Computer ignorance--don't fall victim to it like me.
