Summary:
Why ride up the pavement? Park at Todd Lake, ride around to the back-side and take the single track up to little bald 3000ft in 3.5 miles......then take yourself down to the newly reopened BUCK MOUNTAIN trail for about 7.5 miles of DH back to tilighman road....a good few hour ride bring some food... If you like logs hit up Grooms Ridge as it usually has 30+ logs and never stops going down..... Or if you just want a 1-2 hour ride hit up boyscout and grindstone mountain for shortish demanding climbs and crap your pants downhills. Not for the lazy, the best trails can not be shuttled as the gates are closed most of the year, let the shuttlers ride california trail all they want, it is usually unmaintained and cuts you up pretty good in the summer with thorns.. Oh yeah, go to the 6-pack DHs without any attitude and stick around for the partys too. Some of those boys on the hardtails have managed to get into the top 3 and many in the top 10 at the massanutten DH on the old world cup course each year----they can teach most any of you a thing or two about going fast in the forest.

Summary:
I guess that fact that this area is called Six-pack "Downhills" has people confused. Yes you can go Downhilling there, but if thats your bag, go somwhere eles like Wintergreen or Snoeshoe. You won't have any fun here. Plus as you can see, the XC people are very rude and can't open thier minds to your style of riding. I shuttled last year and was told by a XCer I shouldn't be here if I can't ride to the top. I did ride to the top...in a truck. I guess I am a pussy! Eat me!
If XC is you bag you'll love it! Plenty of closed minded people just like you.

This place is not for Downhillers. stay out. go some somewhere else. This place is not for you. Only really Mountain bikers.
Ever notice on OLN how all the Downhillers on the Norba circut suck and ride big travel bikes. I think Tinker goes Way faster downhill than Lopes or Missy or any of those sucky guys. Yeah hard tails rule!

Does anyone else notice how downhillers use lots of suspension travel to compensate for a lack of skill?
It's funny that over 2/3 of the expert/pro class downhillers at the HOO HAA!! this year got beat by a hardtailer. I heard lots of "how is that posible" coming from you guys. Open up your minds and go for a real bike ride, one that goes up and down, and leave motorless dirtbikes out of GW
