It is still there, just no one has replied to it in the last month:

The trails seemed to be getting a touch dusty in spots on the weekend, but that bit of rain we had yesterday made for absolutely primo riding conditions last night. The new top section on Espresso is a blast.

Indeed. Went way too fast down pipeline. It was getting close to sunset and that was the quickest way down. Awesome traction though. You start thinkin' gee, I'm wearin a Styrofoam hat and skimpy gloves. Better not crash.

Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.

Rightfully, a lot of Expresso/Executioner love here, but the work done on Dreamweaver deserve huge props as well. Some might not be into gold and flow but the craftsmanship on Dreamweaver is without question, first-rate. Monster reroutes

Meant to come in here and mention this. I had no idea that work had been done until I stumbled on it a few weeks ago. Awesome stuff! Huge props to everyone involved!

What's easier, Ladies or Pipeline?

Freedom of contract. We sell them guns that kill them; they sell us drugs that kill us.

Pipeline is easier.

Pipeline is way more random / chundery which is not an issue on a big bike, but on a small bike you can get thrown around quite a bit. Personally I find Ladies easier on my Chromag as the trail is smoother and the tricky bits more obvious, i.e. I know exactly when to get off and walk straight after Barts Bridge and the Heron Pond :rolleyes: Pipeline has randomly thrown me over the handlebar, but Ladies hasn't. So in terms of getting down the trail without injury, IMHO Ladies is easier ;)
