And it is extremely nice outside. If you can ride, go hit it!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it should be dry by tomorrow or give it a few more days? Suburban Ninja is dry. its good to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree Magnet Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I'll kick in $10.So that makes the pot $40 at the moment. Anyone going to try and claim it? That would cover at least the stoker’s registration!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a couple of years since that happened so not sure why all of a sudden it's a problem. Yeah I saw that yesterday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First-Blood Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Blocked the aforementioned go-arounds on DD today. It's nothing particularly permanent, so I imagine they'll probably get moved again... just keep moving them back! Ha. Was that you I questioned on what you were doing. If so thanks for blocking that up. May need to do a more permanent block there too. I'm thinking big boulder.

I was the guy in the blue helmet :) We rolled a decent sized rock up the hill to help, but it could definitely stand to be beefed up a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morris Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Isn’t one of the lines there over the big rock? ... or the alternative wall ride? Big rock is fun, I don’t think it should have branches on it. But If it needs to be for some reason, wall ride is fun too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the lines IS OVER and should stay that waySent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get there before me, move the branches a bit. I probably won't be back out there until Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyBadger Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) REMINDER: There's a building session on Peddlers Pass tomorrow at 9:00am - 11:00am (meet under Parmer). There is a lot to be done. Even if you can only spare 20 minutes before your ride, I would really appreciate it. If you show up later, look for us near the rollers East of Parmer.

Kobra Kai MTB Guy Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) I don't know the name of this feature, but does anyone else take the up-and-over line in blue as opposed to trying to squeeze in between? Kind of fun if you haven't tried it. EDIT: clearly I didn't read the entire thread before posting this...

There are a LOT of places I ride above the line most people take. I think I want to try that line over the rock. That one had not caught my eye. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonioGG Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I moved the two branches slightly to the left that were on top of that rock in Double Down yesterday afternoon. Alternate line is still blocked but now you can ride over the rock. I gotta say that rock is a lot more intimidating in person than it is on the pictures above. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyBadger Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 What a great turn out for building today. We had 15 people show up. Thank you to everyone that came, we got so much done. Someone left a blue North Carolina hoodie, i have it. Pm me and ill drop it off. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've contemplated trying to ride it but it's like the dragon's balls at Pace Bend. If I had some people standing there watching and spotting me, I'd hit it and probably make it. Without that peer pressure and safety blanket, it's a risk that I'm generally not inclined to take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without that peer pressure and safety blanket, it's a risk that I'm generally not inclined to take.The key to it is timing like most any other feature. Too slow and you run risk of stalling. But as soon as you get up it just start pushing bars out because the rock isnt long enough to full get on then spot exit you just got trust that the roll out is there and just fine Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morealice Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 First time I rode that rock was at night and I was a lot fitter. Today I just went through the tight part because fuck it. Sick ride today. I’m absolutely cooked. I’m at the fitness level now where I tell myself I’m gonna make a charge at EBD, I get to the flat part just before it, shift down the casette one spot and then roll right to the base with a half ass wheelie and stop because I got ZERO gas and ZERO shot at riding up it. But oh well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
