OC Downhill MTBers

Thats going ro be an expensive ride. Hope he is ok

 

dang dude, seriously? seeing as you stated "cliff", if its the section i am thinking of (near the large rock up near the top) thats a pretty long ways to fall down...

i havent been there in awhile, i wonder if incidents like this make em even more serious to writing tickets for this blacklisted trail.

 

holy shit! exact part i was thinking of.............. wowwwwwwwwwww..

Damn now rangers are gonna patrol that area

 

Anyway if you need suspension done in the taco i know a guy in artesia. Also owns tacomapros.com so may e he can hook you up depending on parts

 

i was watching our 'drone' footage of that section of telonics and analyzing the space from the trail to the cliff.... dude, that guy must have been inexperienced to go off. unless you are hauling ass and jump sections of it, landing crooked to the right, there should be no way to get THAT off line to go off the cliff... momentum alone (with good speed) would send you straight down the line if you fell... my guess, he landed off a drop with his bars crooked and just ended up riding that way to his near death... im in utter shock that someone could fall off that section.

 

Yea. That's the section I pictured also. right after the double roller rocks right?

Just got more info. Its a friends friend that fell. Has a collapsed lung and severed spine. lucky to be alive but man, hope him the best.

 

def hope for a speedy recover... mind is still wrapped around the possibility of that happening.. how...

 

Was just out at Telonics on Saturday. Fun day. Man I suck. hahahaha we did about 7 runs total that day. I fell on every run except 1. Telonics Silver Surfer and Birthday. But I knew I wasn't a good rider. Hopefully start riding more to improve. Heres a video my friend put together. I'm too slow to make keep up with them to make it in more of the edit. hahaha

lookin good chow. doesnt look too slow.

 

Surprise no rangers were there considering someone fell off the cliff recently

 

Yea. I was hesitant about that. That was my second time out there. lots of fun.

 

You guys heard steve smith died? another legend gone

 

i just read about that..... man, i cant believe...... head injury from moto....... super sad. young guy too.

 

Who's going up to opening weekend at Summit?

 

Definitely me. Got my season pass

 

Awesome, did the same on my end. So excited its almost season again.

 

i cant make it up enough to justify a season pass, sadly. and i hear they are more expensive this season? also gonna miss opening weekend, going to be packed for memorial day!

enjoy it and be safe brothers..

 

Thanks! It was $299 for the Summit and an extra $100 to add Mammoth on to it. Will be a lot of people opening weekend that way, just excited to get back on the bike up there

 

agreed on excitement, cant wait to see how my new V10 handles summit. Its been great so far, the few rides ive been on (a local jump line and idyllwild)
