The OFFICIAL Snow Summit Thread!!!

Ditto. The wall ride needs to be steeper. And the three tables after that are strange indeed. Im not sure if its the spacing ... but I can never for the life of me get enough momentum for anything pass doubles. Apparently they were getting a lot of accidents there. But I LOVE THE BRICK BERM right after the trio.

FUN FUN day only took a spill first run. The dirt was prime with the touch of snow from the night before. The berms were touched all up. I felt like they did a real good job during the week. I HAD A BLAST !! Best of all NO LINES!!

Luckily all my mechanical problems occurred on the last run. I snapped my rear derailleur cable, dropped chain and got a flat on the last run. Felt bad for making the last sweep crew wait while I fix my flat and chain.

Got up there guys!

 

Did 7 runs yesterday. Perfect day out, sunny but cool. Crashed on the first table on Cruiser in one of the runs, just miscalculated the jump and did a home base stealing slide on the lander! No serious injuries but I shredded my jersey.

We were waiting in the same line Perfektus. I wasn't sure if it was you.. I was the guy in a green jersey and jeans. Good day!

 

Haha it sure was!

 

Dude nice one! I bet you were glad to be wearing a chest protector. You had that superman form down though!

 

Here's a pic of the new wallride on Westridge. Not sure who the rider is.

 

Dear Rox - we are all (and by all, I mean the 23 active members of STR) awaiting your detailed ride report from your Knolly demo day at Snow Summit with Global Marketing Director Dusty Mc Dreamy. Please include photos of your bruises.

:bang:

 

The wall ride is a blast

 

they need to slant that wall more as its way mellow

 

It's a blue trail for gods sake. It's probably one the few truly blue features on that trail.

 

You want a black feature bust a 360 off it and quite your bitching.

 

Didnt think that was bitching , id hate to see what you call it when your girl yells at you :lol:

 

Love the new features on the westridge. Sure the wall ride could be steeper, but it's still fun the way it is. Ride it high and transfer at the end to the landing. Those 6 or 7 tables are a blast once you figure out the lips and they can boost you pretty good. West ridge is definitely my favorite trail for whats there, but OG miracle mile is a very close second. Can't wait for the easy trail to open, hopefully that relieves congestion on cruiser and west-ridge. Next year summit needs a few gnar gnar black or double black runs to make up for the closure of the off park tech trails and bring some balance to what they have.

 

Looks cool, can't wait to hit it.

 

I just can't believe that every time they build something people complain that it doesn't meet there riding style. I am so stoked to have a lift assisted trail that I can make into a day trip.

 

I think if the wall ride was any steeper no one would make it all the way across. It's pretty long. I think it's perfect the way it is. I'm hoping they add a few more of these!

 

Looks pretty mellow, but it doesn't seem like there is much of a turn into it. Eh what does anyone expect for a bike park.

 

A lot of people roll onto it or hit it at a slower speed. If you use a bit of speed there is a small jump to hop onto it followed by 3 dj style tables. The jumps on this trail are right up your alley ricky. Than a few turns and a run into 3 more tables.

 

My dearest Herz - the bike sucked donkey dongs!!! Hahaha, I kid I kid of course. First run on Westridge the bike threw me down on my left side. I can't post the pic bc it's X rated and I'll get banned.

I sucked it up and made 6-7 runs more w puss and ooze coming out of my side.

The bike was a f'in tank! Not use to riding such a heavy bike. Going off jumps was a better landing than my 5-Spot. By 2:00, my hands were toast - they were cramping beyond believe (I think the brake levers were set too far at first but by the time I complained and Kevin moved them, the damage was done.

I need another day on it now that I know how a DH bike feels like. I'm gonna hit up Kevin again for June 13th when I head up w my boys.

Stay tuned for a second report ....

And it would never work w Mc Dreamy and me bc I can't pronounce Knolly correctly...lol

 

That's me!!!! LOL........
