Pics of some new stuff at Snowshoe

[Hulkamaniac]

Here's what we ended up building this weekend. We just finished the teeter and several skinnies. One section is 12" wide, the other is 16" wide. The long bridge is 84' long and roughly 20" wide. Let us know what you think.

[Hulkamaniac]

Another one. Sorry for the mess in the pics, we had just finished building it and had someone test it out to make sure everything was good. All the scrap lumber has been picked up and moved away now.

[Hulkamaniac]

Here's the teeter we built. It's 16' long and super fun.

I saw an ad for that kinda stuff in a local events paper.

You were riding wearing the team's colors! NICE!

[Hulkamaniac]

Yep, those ads will also be appearing in the coming issues of Decline, Twenty Six, Mountain Bike Action, Mountain Biking, Bike, etc...........XXL will be getting shown to the world!

[Castle]

I never received an email back from the volunteer dude!

I wanna come help!

Damn, Wish I could get out there to help build. This school thing takes up all my time :(

But oh well, this summer, I'll come put your hard work to use! :p


just like everyone else said, the narrower the better :thumb:

Trust me, it's coming in time. We can't start out by building super skinny stuff and scaring risk management and/or new riders. This park will be evolving throughout the spring and summer, so new stuff will pop up all the time...........a little bit of everything (skinny, technical, flowy, etc).

Oh, to everyone trying to get ahold of Dave Huber. I just talked with him on the phone and reminded him to get back in touch with everyone as quickly as possible. He's super busy with making quite a few new things happen on this mountain, but he will get back in touch with you. If you wish, shoot him another email (dhuber@snowshoemtn.com) to remind him.

[Castle]

I'll be waitin to here back I don't wanna bug the guy, but I would love to help you folks, and help give everyone else a killer place to ride!!!!

you guys rock!!! keep it up!


edit: just receieved the info, I'll be in contact with Missy, and get registered up and get a weekend off before opening and get my ass on up there.....


Hulk, is bringing tools a good idea?

I'm assuming so.... I probalby wil anyway...

[denjen]

Can you pass the info along. What I heard about the volunteer thing wasnt very promising. Just want to know if we have the same info. I got mine from a friend of a friend kind of thing, could be wrong.

[Castle]

well Dave said it will be on the site soon so I don't guess there would be a problem with that if one of you guys at snowshoe have a problem with me posting this shoot me a PM and I'll take it down....

NICE!
I'll be up there helping at the bike shop like last year for about 2 or 3 weeks. I'll be staying at Shamrock at my gramps house. Are these trails accessed by the gravel fire road by Ball Hooter, or are they to the left of the Shavers center by the patrol room? Can't wait to come up, i'll be glad to help out.

[Jayridesacove]

Nice

[denjen]

Thanks for the info. That is alot better than what I heard. I dont know if I will make it up to work, but I am planning at least 10 weekend trips to ride this year.

[Stiff]

We DC, MD, NoVA types might think about arranging car shares and room rentals/camping to get out there regularly and more affordably. I'd go crazy driving alone for 10 hours nearly every weekend.

good call!

[drt_jumper]

nice....so much for wintergreen...anyone who wants to work on the trails and is out my way pm me and we can figure out a schedule...later adam

[BAC5.2]

Wow! Almost makes me not want to sell the Scream.... Almost.

[Hulkamaniac]

BAC, you may not want to sell it........there's a lot more coming, skinnies, techie, everything. I know it's hard to justify having a freeride rig around college (you go to Shepherd, right?) as I struggled with keeping my full blown dh race bike while I was at Shepherd for 4 years. It may very well be beneficial for you to keep the Scream if you want to come up here and ride..........but it can all be done on a hardtail, as proven by a few of us as we test rode stuff.

[drt_jumper]

yeah i wasnt trying to pi$$ anyone of about wintergreen but its just that wintergreen had a hold of that corner or the market if you will, up until know! All i was saying is that why go somewhere they really dont want you there and arent even willing to put monies into to the trails...thats why I said what I did about wg

[eric1bss]

Looks really well built. Any drops? You gotta have drops. I'll be moving to north VA in a week and I can't wait to ride!
