Sunny Southern Cali DH run....
by Guest Thu Jan 06, 2011 10:43 pm
... ain't no fun if the hommie pirates can't get some!! 
First of all, thanks for allowing me access to the site as I was invited here by a good friend of mine (endo). After skimming through some of the threads, it appears there are a boat load of trails to be had around so cal. The one I'm mostly interested in shreddin' is the one posted below.
I know Southridge 2011 is taking place this weekend, but I'm writing to request a personal tour guide of this spot early am "don patrol" style this Sat. or Sun??
Thanks in advance and feel free to holla (858) three 54-6978.

Ah yes....the site of GP2. Love me some Skidmarx. Plenty of info on it in the trail index thread...over in the trails section. Read up closely on where to enter AND where to exit. Have fun!

Sweet trail! Looks dialed-in for sure.
Hopefully, the rains didn't mess it up too much...

It's a great trail, the reason there isn't really a map posted is because it cuts on and off a fireroad, and is easier following a guide the first time.
Also the very top and bottom are sensitive areas.
Fun as hell though for sure, post up I'm sure someone will take you down it.
Wish I could go tuesday Mike but my bike is broken right now.

Not much to report in the "RR" section, but two of my close friends and I hooked up with two of the locals.
Needless to say, Skidmarx is siCc, thanks for the tour fellas.....

Cool of you eddie for being tour guide. 
That trail is fun as hell but the dirt sux. If you ride it often, be sure to hit up Lenny to get in on maintenance day.

The Dirt sucks where??
At the top the silt is a little deep, but when your riding a 50lb bike the dirt will feel different I suppose??

I meant it sucks for building and maintaining Mike, it's a little sandy for stacking berms. :drunken:
It needs constant attention I'm sure.

It's a trail that does require care, I still have not met some of the maintainers. It's a steep trail maybe that is why it's hard to keep up.
In your opinion would chicken wire help to maintain the berms??

I think the chicken wire at nascar is just in places where braking bumps start, I haven't actually seen any in the berms but there may be...
I think some of the berms there would have to be shored up from the back with rocks, especially in that spot near the step up.
I'd imagine bringing in some clay like soil and mixing it could help? I've wondered before if there wasn't some type of (organic) 'sticky' solution you could mix up and drench the berms with.
I haven't met the builders but wish I lived closer, it's a trail definately worth putting work into.

This trail definitely deserves to be manicured routinely!
I'll keep an eye out on the scheduled trail work day...
