Do any of you guys know anything about the "ventura raceway" dh trail up in ventura that was mentioned in the latest decline mag? I camp in ventura all the time and now that i know there is a dh trail lurking in those hills i am hardly content chillin on the beach eating and getting drunk:twitch:. If anybody knows if the trail is hikeable, or if it is a shuttle only trail and where the dropoff point is please drop me a pm..... thanks guys, i'll be up there this saturday

i'm looking to do some ridin near malibu,santa monica area can somebody give me any suggestions
My standby rides in the SM Mountains are Sullivan Canyon and Jedi (the ridge along Sullivan fireroad).

EDIT: just saw your videos, looks like you'll probably want more DH. Jedi has some berms & jumps but its a decent pedal to the top. J-Drop would a good bet but its also quite a pedal to get to.

And check your PM's.

hmmm... Northstar opens on 6/12, if they open the upper mountain at that point, we should all mob up there!
If not, Laguna sound good to me.

Adam, you should check out Baldy... I hit it with Scott and Randy last weekend.. it was the shiznit!

I'm pretty sure that Brian, Edgy, Randy, myself and others are gonna try to get up there as often as possible. Maybe every other weekend or so. Brian picked up a season pass, and I'm thinking of doing the same.
It really is worth the drive!

Keep me in the loop ladies. I don't think I can get up there every other weekend, but definitely want to roll at least a couple times this summer. The bike needs a workout. It has a crazy look in it's eye when I open the garage :disgust1:

If all of the mountain is open by N* opening weekend, I'll be there with a small crew.
Other than that, if you foos hit up Laguna (say this Sun), drop me a PM as I'd love to be shown around. I haven't ridden in Laguna since forever and now I live closer to the OC, it makes perfect sense to start riding there.

I finally just decided to be real with my self and what I ride, so I only have the Demo left. I came to grips that I don't enjoy pedaling.

Anyone riding in the SM mountains Sunday? I might have time to sneak away for a bit if my wife doesn't pop first.

Edit: changed to Sunday

So you ladies take any N* pics or vids to share with the rest of us losers?
N* this weekend was epic..best conditions I've ever ridden there...slight rain makes that place perf!

Great time as usual with the "girls team".

Everybody was slaying it big time...Rhondies, E -Sanz and Rando finally killed LiveWire with some style!

We're all official Season Pass holders and we're due back in 2 weeks!

NO pics...Rando forgot the helm cam- DOH!

I know most of you went last week but I've got 2 open spots in my truck for N*. Looking to split gas and lodging, if you don't mind bunking on some floor space send me a PM.

Good weekend at Northstar. Very nice weather.

Trails are about the same as last year, with some of them getting cleaned up. Expect braking bumps.
We rode Fri/Sat/Sun and found ourselves going back to our old favorite, Boondocks.

I broke my bike trying to fix it the day we did photos, so I had to hit all this stuff on a squeaky rental.

Here are a few (large) images highlighting some of the more interesting features at the park. Blender: Fox shirt, bneall: other guy
