  1. Not only are these rocks the extreme in MTBing, if you look to the far
    lower right of the picture, that's the road down there eh, that's a
    300ft drop, and the drop starts immediately where the trees are on the
    right.

    Crazy huh?

    I've seen guys do far more narrow trails than this, but those trails
    weren't rocks like this.

  2. It is an optical illusion. The drop's not that big--maybe 30 ft. max,
    and from there it's a slope to the road. Further, while definitely a
    black diamond trail, it's a rideable trial with minimal risk and
    exposure. For true exposure to terminal drop (a drop that kills), check
    out the Portal trail in Moab, UT. That one is a bona fide killer.
    Dakota ridge is merely deeply technical.

    I've ridden this with semi-slicks many times.

    Then take Ride-A-Lot up there and teach his lame panzy penguin
    eat-too-much-lunch-meat-ass up there and get him to ride it. I'm tired
    of that woman-man trying to impress the world for self-value yet having
    no impressive or notable bike skills whatsoever. And then in addition
    he's a witch puppet, absolutely disgraceful to the superior males over
    females...

    I only rode the Dakota Ridge, and it was impressive, difficult, really
    technically challening.
