Everyone besides Wes E, Brian P., Vlad, and Earl,

Black Ice

Post by Rene Hayden » Thu Feb 03, 2005 4:04 pm

Hey Mr. Flis--

Yeah, I'd love to go, but I took two bad spills on my bike and I have a nice hipper to rehab.

My advice from this: don't carry screwdrivers in your hip pocket, and watch out for black ice.

Rene.

Me & my brother Stephen will likely hit Whitetail on Sunday 1/9/05 for a few hours starting about 9am. Only there might be a chance that my two boys might be too sick for the wife to care for them alone so I would not be able to go.

Anthony ill probably see you there sunday or monday. I think we should try and make that last session for sure. Im guessing the mall will be a little crazy and itll be kinda crowded but its a good thing that most "skaters" are intimidated by the bowl or dont get enjoyment out of riding the big stuff in the back left.

When are the BMX sessions? The sessions immediately after those are always the best time to skate there, due to less crowding.

Let’s at least skate the very last session that the Vans park has. Anyone know when that is? We can also plan to have another session before then.

I have two questions.
1. When can we all hit vans together for one last party before the end?
2. When can we all hit fountain head for some fun because you guys got me hyped up for riding it?

'head

Post by Anthony Smallwood » Mon Dec 20, 2004 8:58 pm

Glad to see you guys were charging the backside. Another possibility, which is slightly less forgiving, is approaching it from the other direction. The turn archs before you get to the bridge as oppossed to the right side in which the bridge is the turn. Slider gloves will give you more confidence if you hit it from the right. I place that run along side the right portion of Normanstone (DC) as the most difficult runs in the whole area. Hitting it wide open, of course. Yeah, we should have some sort of "Cold Weather Classic" before the spring.
Olson and O'Shei will be here in mid-late January. I'm sure they'd want a piece of the action.
I have zero political connections in VA, so it's up to you VA boys, or someone could just say "Outlaw"

Anthony, I rode that hill on Saturday. I have to admit I kind of wimped out and started way down on it. That section of guard rail freaks me out a little. I keep thinking I am going to end up in the drink which is 20-30 ft below the road and would result in probably serious injury. However I think a big GS/Downhill hybrid is totally doable safely on that hill. Well, reasonably safe. Hay bales stacked 2 or 3 high would be required.

Mike is absolutely right Fountainhead has tons of potential for single lane or slalom cross type of event(s).

We rode a really good course there on Saturday. Then got chased out of Occoquan after one run. But was able to scope out a good looking hill for a possible legit race. For some reason the rangers or security at Occoquan don’t like us much. But bombing that mile long hill is killer fun. I think the problem is the parking situation. I think the fewer cars at the top of the hill the better. We should probably all go in one car when we try to ride there.

After the holidays we need to have many more sessions down that way.

Fountainhead

Post by Mike Ohm » Mon Dec 20, 2004 5:41 pm

Saturday was a blast. The back hill has GS possibilities. Bring your balls!

I think Fountainhead has possibilities for a major DC area race, although some hills will be limited to single track. We need to start looking into reserving the whole back area from the gate back. We could set about 6 different courses on 6 different hills.
