I want to check this place out. I am more into jumps and downhill and getting in the air. What does this place have to offer? I have seen pictures of some SAWEET jumps and a track. It doesn't seem too far from OC. Pictures?

Theres a few things here and there- mostly its a fantastic place to learn and practice DH. I'll be there this Friday.

Mainly its just some small DH stuff with a few cool things to crash on then at the bottom theres a 4X track.

Ha. Stuff to crash on...How small are we talking here? I need to sleep. Wish I could make it out this Friday, but I don't want to get hurt. Prom is this Saturday. ( I'm also going on a helicopter ride!!!)

Its all little stuff- just keep your eyes ahead and your good. Plus its a generally small place so you can't really get lost.

I think theres only really 3 spots at Fontana that make me a little nervous, 1 of them is the rock garden that I crashed on in one of my races. Everything else is just whether or not you feel confident.

Being a Fontana resident, I'm duty sworn to advise you of the Valley of the Dirt.

1.)Never make eye contact with any of our resident gang members. They're kind of like dogs they consider this a challenge. You can throw them table scraps though, just don't make eye contact.

2.) Please give no change to our homeless people. They need paper money (preferably in denominations of 10 dollars or more, wine is getting very expensive these days) and the jingle,jangle of the coins let the gang memebers know they have money and it will soon be redistributed.

3.) Upon entering Fontana please check in at city hall for a day pass. These are relatively inexpensive or you could get the annual pass, but this will require you getting a tattoo.

4.) Please do not wear colors of blue or red as all the gang members known as Crips or Bloods have relocated here.

5.) Be warned you'll have to exit the city as nightfall approaches.

6.) It would help if you have some drugs to sell and if you call everybody "Holmes or homey".

7.) If riding, bring beer. All the dh guys are required to drink lots of beer and tell of gnarly crashes they've had or seen.

8.) Don't piss Sharky off. I know she says she lives over in Clairmont, but you can find her almost anytime in the hills of Southridge. Just remember, don't piss her off!
