Capricorn Posted September 19, 2010 Share DHK: what happened to the E.13? I thought it was only teh top guide plate that was slightly cracked, or did u explode the taco on some curbs? When next week you guys going again? Please make it sunday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig82 Posted September 19, 2010 Share LDF that picture is so sweet, you guys have it good over there, 3 mins of downhill must be awesome!We working on a little track in the valley near my house, very pedally up top then it gets steep and ruff near the end. DHK, did you purchase that gamut locally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownhillingKing Posted September 19, 2010 Share Ja taco died as-well and it R500 for a taco or R450 for a Gamut. Craig, It came from CRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted September 19, 2010 Share LDF: "utah", while appropiate for the dryness of it all, is actually called the Playground. Lotsa lines all over the place. I keep eyeballing those sick drops, but always leave with the resolution: 'next time'... as if. what's your take on the race route? description?

loveme.DH/FR Posted September 20, 2010 Share CAP: Playground makes sense! The pic of me is the wall ride in that area. So fun there, we rode that area messing around for quite a while Regarding the Race track:It really is the best DH trail ive ridden. (and i took every chicken run available!! Next time!!!)Starts off a little flat, but there are some new berms and drops to keep it flowing.Its quite nice although a little slow, but it feels tech enough to not be boring, like little jumps straight into berms... Then it gets a bit faster, with some step down/ rock gardens, a little gap jump into a steep technical dipthen a scary-ish rock garden... Then it starts to get faster.. and opens up a bit..theres a road gap and some drops into berms, some solid berms and some heavily washed out ones.The track splits, for a chicken run..left is a large double and right is a table top then a single which is also the landing for the double,then a few more berms, into a section where theres a few lines or options over some jumps, here theres a Maaaaassiiive double! Its only about 1m high,but covers about 5m till the down section. and could be really really sore if you dont have enough speed to clear it!! i think it then goes into 2 really nice big berms, which are really solid and big which makes it easy to rail at high speed. Over Finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted September 20, 2010 Share sounds like it hooks up with the old track in the forest. Sounds good. Thanks for the rundown LDF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted September 20, 2010 Share man, i luv sam Hill. flats, Dh shorts, flat pedals and a road bike. SWEEEEEEEEEEET! On Sunday it was time for the road, where the three times winner of Tour de France, Alberto Contador (Astana) was the star. But all the attention was on Sam Hill, who along with Matt Hunter decided to make the road course in the morning and leave the Bike Park lines for the afternoon. The interesting thing was to see Sam Hill, dressed in his baggy green Troy Lee DH shorts, his Fiveten’s and flat pedals, riding on a road bike and completing the 120km of the road track.http://lp1.pinkbike.com/p4pb5639331/p4pb5639331.jpghttp://lp1.pinkbike.com/p4pb5639334/p4pb5639334.jpg albert who??
