Rides a Socom

Default This really SUCKS RE: Del Cerro

Well, I just have to get this off of my chest. Somebody is really screwing things up at Del Cerro. Listen, if you can't do a jump or a drop PLEASE don't alter it to make it easier for YOU. A lot of work has gone into these jumps and stuff and someone who doesn't have the skills is screwing it up for everyone else.

I am not accusing anyone, I am just venting. I am referring to the fire road drop. There are THREE places to go off of it. For all three levels of riders. You can roll the middle, do a three or four foot drop off the right hand side or go large and do the left. That side has about an eight foot drop and has a hole dug in the landing so you HAVE to huck it.

Someone has decided that they need to make the eight footer easier! C'mon! WTF is wrong with you? Just work up to that side like everyone else does!

Other jumps have been messed with as well. I've been riding here for years and all of a sudden, people need to "fix" things around here. If you built it, sure, go ahead and mess with it. If you found it, leave it alone and enjoy it. If you can't do it, there are places to go around it or beside it so you can avoid it totally.

Please, if you see anyone messing with this place, please let them know that it isn't cool....

OK, I am officially off of my soap box.

Thank you, drive thru.....

I'm too busy at Del Cerro either slamming into boulders with my wrist, or falling down steep single track down into canyons!

yup, I rode there a few weeks ago for the first time in a few years. Someone had made it way easier then it used to be for sure. It used to have only one line.
Now if it's even changed more well, that's a bummer.
