View Full Version : What happened to the Windrock Website?

I was telling somebody about Windrock and I wanted to show them the website. When I went to http://www.windrock-mtb.com it was some kind of weird portal page.

So the question is what happened to the site?


EDIT: Actually I just did a whois on the domain and it appears to have expired: Record expires on 15-Sep-2006.
So I guess somebody didn't pay for the renewal.

It was only getting about 10-40 hits a month and I was tired of paying for it. Plus, anyone that wants info about WR can just come here.

Joey should have about 10 megs of personal webspace that he can bounce the site to. And you can buy the site name for $20.00 for 3 years through Yahoo. That's what I did for SEI. Our dinky little page sucks but it's better than nothing. Bellsouth gives me 10 megs and I bounced it through yahoo to there. Windrock just needs 1 page posting Joey's rules, directions and a photo page.

His provider should allow him to bounce from his domain name to his webspace right?

FYI oldschoolbiker, for now just refer them over to HCOR. Pretty certain Brady has the most extensive info and photos about it there.

you should mess with Jeremy like that. You're liable to send him into cardiac arrest. You'll never see Jeremy more excited that the year Sugar had Starbucks Doubleshots on ice. He didn't know it. I found them...took him two...and told him the guy had said "Take all you want. We can't re-use them."

I thought he was gonna hug me. Pretty sure I saw a tear...

You're in the same boat I am -if QT (Atlanta convenience stores that have about 10 kinds of coffee brewing 24/7) ever comes to Macon or Spartanburg, our asses will end up fat and bankrupt.

I am pretty sure that the Panera Bread in Oak Ridge has my picture hanging up to not let me in the bathroom again.....ever.......
pretty much a lifetime ban.
I have always stopped there on the way in to Windrock for a coffee fix and have dropped WMD's in that place more times than should be allowed by law.

Don't make me pull out my Ace Ventura. Kids got permenantly scarred from that.

you'll get yours just as soon as trailbuilders get to charge for their services. :)

b.t.w.
just because we vote on something and tally up the score.
that doesn't mean very much in a dictatorship. :)

Well, I don't know if it's my place to vote or not, see how I haven't been able to get up there for quite a while. But things are mellowing out on the home front, and the boys are getting into a routine. Plus I'll know next week when my new bike will be getting here.

Have Brady do the site and you keep your ass building.

BTW Joey, I have a 6x4 "gator" (with a dump bed (manual though) and payload of 1200-1400lbs or something) that I can use. If that'll help when you get ready to haul dirt and other stuff on the new trail cutting.

Cheers,
Brian

Naw I just saw it at a premier. They show him above the second road crossing and dropping in on and hitting the "waterfall" section. It's nasty. Even does a little slow-mo and such, pinning the sh!t out of it.

you have just as much right as anyone else. :)

as far as the gator.
as cool an offer as it is,
there's not a way we can use something like that down in our trails.
we don't really have any desire to open up any trailbeds wide enough to get something like that in there.
it's a security thing.
as soon as we would, somebody on an a.t.v. would be right down in there.

ya know.
that thought has crossed my mind.

i have a better idea though.

first.
move here !!

second.
you already have an outstanding site as it is.
and nobody in the south uses it as much as the northern riders do.
i really should be posting more trail info there instead of here.

for what we are and as much as the riders themselves make this place what it is.
i think a website doesn't really suit our needs.
if it were more of a buisness, then i'd say yeah.

josh did a great job with the one we had.
it just didn't get utilized the way it should have.

yeah, he talked to me after he went to say thanks for telling him about the place. What's weird is he didn't even ride his V10...he was on a Nomad from what he said. And for the first run or something he had a wheel with a 6 inch rotor and an 8 inch caliper mount??? Said he didn't know it when he went off the top to the first road and scared himself...

Doug said he rode the Nomad so stuff looks "rougher" or less smooth or something on camera???

Wonder what it would have looked like on his V10???

Very good point, I guess if was looking at the big picture, I would have thought of that.
