Headshot Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 There is a large boulder that has come loose and blocked Cobra just as it starts to descend after the pedally bits up top. Easy to avoid but you will have to portage round it unless you feel like risking a cliff plunge. I have notified the trail manager via email.

I have to ask, Tim - was there a face-brake technique deployment? ;-)
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 BTW - thanks for the heads up. Was going to go this weekend if the flu / cold / whatever cleared up.
TokaiMTB Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Thanks for the warning Headshot-we'll get to clearing it ASAP. Can you tell us how big it is? ie estimate on how many people needed to remove it from the trail?

Headshot Posted June 11, 2014 Author Posted June 11, 2014 I have to ask, Tim - was there a face-brake technique deployment? ;-) Nope, but I think it was the rock I clipped and almost chopped my pinky off on a few weeks ago. That probably loosened it :-) Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Dan Dob 2
Dan Dob Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Here's the offending rock. Actually looks like it make a pretty rad new trail feature if TokaiMTB can build it up a bit? Edited June 12, 2014 by iRide TAAHIRWP 1
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 LOL. Dan, that's exactly what Deon said on Facebroek... SO please, don't move it, anyone! Sweet feature coming up!
DJR Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Very difficult moving rocks that size into the trail when you want them there. The mountain gave us a little fathers day gift. (Even if I might need a chicken run around.) Dan Dob and (Deon) 2

Capricorn Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 rocks that size dont move themselves. is the upslope unstable since the rains?
DJR Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Speak for yourself... My apologies, Rock Whisperer Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
(Deon) Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 This area has been worked on, ready for the weekend... No pictures, blind is the new black. Kranky 1
dre Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 This area has been worked on, ready for the weekend... No pictures, blind is the new black. Was thinking of lying on the couch and drinking beer but now I'll have to go check it out myself. (Deon) 1
(Deon) Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Cool. Save the beer for after.. Post what the run in is like, looks like there's enough speed there but also lots of rocks..
Headshot Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 I rode Cobra yesterday. It looks and rides great, thanks guys! Well done.
