Same old trails but I am sure the constant trail building will happen anytime soon but it was still a good day. No real sign of the rain from yesterday except a fallen tree on BMW, few people and perfect weather.
Good day

You missed out. Obviously there was a LITTLE bit of mud, but it was nowhere near as soupy as opening day. Everything was open but Alpine and Indycross (I think), and it wasn't so muddy that you really lost speed anywhere.
The rain ended last night at like midnight/1 AM so I was pretty sure it would be pretty decent riding conditions. I love that the waterpark is closed now, makes everything so much better.
I was also windy which helped. Even the wood on stigmata was dry.
yeah it was pretty nice today, the conditions were pretty nice, defenitly dont regret it
was wet in only a few places, not bad at all, the only thing i could complain about is that the dirt seemed eroded, there were rocks everywhere
Does anyone know how that guy who fell on Phantom is feeling
I just saw his helmet, and it was all bloody. Hope he's alright

Right before he fell, a young lady had a nasty spill off flume drop. Hope she's ok as well. We were on the lift and just saw her bike come flying out of the trees. Scary stuff.
damn huckers! just because bender use to huck and crash doesnt mean its the cool thing to do...
never good getting hurt...
hope everyones okay
Travis, why no Diablo for 2 weeks??? Cant make the weekends???

haha, maybe you should have a talk with them:
"Listen huckers, going as fast as possible and then crashing is way better than hucking and crashing."
true, and you dont get as hurt sometimes because looking at the ground for like 3 seconds definitely makes you fall the wrong way where as when your pinned as soon as you know your falling you just make your hands into a fist and look for a landing.
feel better
Thanks for asking. The little lady, my lovely bride, suffered a broken collar bone, 2 dislocated fingers, and probably a mild concussion, based on the nausea and headache she's been suffering for a day or so. They admitted her to the hospital, and still haven't released her due to the nausea. We've got a b!tch of a drive (NJ to ATL), so a day or so of good drugs and rest will hopefully take the edge off it. They actually airlifted her to Morristown b/c there's not a trauma unit nearer to Diablo. I think she was more miffed that the ER cut her Flak Jacket and wedding ring than anything.
The fellow that fell off Phantom was OK. He was also either airlifted or ambulanced to Morristown. He sliced his hand open pretty badly, and had a concussion, but was very coherent and not seemingly otherwise banged up.
Two things:
1) HUGE thanks to the EMTs at Diablo. They responded quickly and professionally, and HUGE thanks to Diablo for having them on site. Thanks also to everyone that helped on trail. Mountain bikers are the bomb.
2) Diablo rocks. We really enjoyed the trails before the accident. I love the mix of natural terrain, ladders and gNARLY rock gardens.

ha....
glad to hear that your still positive about it. hope she feels better and heals up.
aghhh sucks to hear about that. im sure shes pissed about the wedding ring too. but good to hear shes doing ok. Healing vibes!
Tough day for some I also talked to a guy who broke his collar bone on the dirt road at the end before the lift.
Big healing vixbes to all that went down this past weekend. Tweety, sorry to hear about the wifey. Hope she heals fast. I was the one giving you some guidance at the start of your day.
Thanks man, and thanks for the tips!
We're finally back in the ATL. The ride SUCKED, but I'm glad it's behind her. She's not thrilled with joining the "collar bone bump club". She's feeling better tho, and still stoked about her new (to her) Demo.
B
I have a bump on each side so its a perfect match but I am not sure if you should make that suggestion just now.
Was she the one on the black and green Demo?
