Capricorn Posted August 25, 2010 Share Stryder: it's very short, very quick. I'd say 1min from the defined start of SH2 to the defined end of SH3. The latter section Loveme.DH/FR was not liking is part of Urban Assault 2k9. BUt it should rightfully be appended to SH3 as it has it's own quirks. But to be honest, i havent timed myself yet. I'm hoping that once the track is more or less 'done' (yeah rite!), then i would like time trials: you, me, loveme.DH/FR and whoever else wants to rock The Hill. Loveme.DH/FR: i'm gonna go weedwacking that latter section of SH3 u dont like. The grass is tall, and the untrimmed branches of nearby bushes are causing cuts and scrapes. oh, b4 i 4get: Loveme.DH/FR: rock garden rocks! But I flitted over the tops Must admit,after I had walked it, i realized some of those edges are very sharp, and very proud of the soil's surface. Really thought I was gonna pinchflat, or bail off into the trees. But dude, that was fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder Posted August 25, 2010 Share Ok cool, so quite a few trips can be done in a day. Off to Eden this weekend, and a few other interferances (?) the next few weekends. but really keen to try in october hopefully. you normally start at the parking area on top?

Capricorn Posted August 25, 2010 Share yep. two ways down from that parking lot: via the sea side, or via the city side. stryder: make sure u available for Urban Assault 2k10. It's normally in Oct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder Posted August 25, 2010 Share Jeez dude. I am already getting nervous for Saturdays ride  Might be cool though, went to watch last years Urban Assault. There was uni and a few guys with hardtails. Mmm might give it some serious thought. Shot for info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted August 25, 2010 Share if u wanna get into DH: ride anything and everything. Some things are easier than others. SH is the easiest place you can ride. Short of enough for plenty of sessions, enough little obstacles to dev your skills on. And there's more to come  Loveme.DH/FR: need more rocks in that garden!!! gonna help this weekend extending it. Or at least spend time rock farming and leaving it nearby so it can be extended as we are able to tend to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownhillingKing Posted August 25, 2010 Share That Santa Cruz is sweet! Nice light fast bike! Cap you'd rather have a demo over a carbon Santa cruz dam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted August 25, 2010 Share errrm. hell yes DHK.! dude. i'm besotted by that damn demo. It's like a siren... calling me to the rockgardens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownhillingKing Posted August 25, 2010 Share Basically you'd prefer to plough through the rock garden than to float over it as if you were riding a magic carpet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted August 25, 2010 Share dude: demo is totally huckable. It's not a plougher, and neither is the new M9, not like the old M6. According to intense, the M9 is somewhat in betwween the 951's poppy nature and the plough-machine that was the M6. But u have good adjustability to adjust the progressivity to switch between pop and plough and somewhere in between, which is the default 'setting'. That demo 8... no sir. not for ploughing. that thing is meant to rip corners to shreds.
