Is the 4X starting gate operational all the time?
What kind of gate release mechanism does it have?

What kind of shuttling are you able to do? Is it mostly push-a-bike?

My buddy just picked up a Sunday and is itching to ride and I'm never one to turn down a chance to throw myself down a mountain.

It was operational last time we were there, totally homemade, operates on a gate latch.

Push to the top, it's not a bad push, takes maybe 10 minutes.

Sounds good, I don't mind pushing, just wanted to know how many cars to drive up. I'd say I'm 50/50 for 5/19, 7am is aweful early coming from OC. I'll be on my old black Iron Horse SGS, my buddy will be on a lovely new black and pink Sunday. Hope you see you guys there!

Oh, not that gate latch mechanism!!! I remember those from the early years of BMX. There's a reason why they don't use them anymore.

I remember the days when eight guys would flip over the gate due to a stuck or delayed gate mechanism. This happened far too often (when you're one of those guys, once is enough).

However, with only four guys against the gate, it's only half as much a concern.

Set it up Lor, I'm in! Set up side bets on how many times he crashes.
