Mount Falcon pictures showing it's under-rated
http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...772&photo=2810
Uh, ugly pict, it was about to rain. Looking at Denver. In taking this picture, I just climbed 1800 feet. And boy oh boy is it a blast going down as long as you live to tell about it. Babes can, why can't Ride-A-Lot? http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...772&photo=2817 I hit this rock garden at 25MPH due to that racer coming, and I didn't know he was a racer I tried to gap us, but uh, unfortunately by the time I was at the end of this rock garden, he was literally only 2 feet behind me, *someone told him to do this to me*, and he stuck on me all the way until I gave in and said "go ahead" and I stopped after getting out of his way on a hairbinger turn. He hit everything top speed I didn't hear him brake once (you can hear people brake due to disc brakes). http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...772&photo=2819 This is the characteristic of Falcon, once you start going down you never go up again, there is never another ascent or level section. It's a constant rampaging downhill. Note the two waterlogs in the ground, 15 feet apart if that. Hitting those between 20-25MPH is crash inducing, because as soon as you're done with one the next one is already under your front wheel. Sure you can brake, but that actually makes it worse. http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...772&photo=2820 More evidence of the constant rampage of Falcon - downhill rampage, constant assault on the bikers whole skill set, timing is constantly challenged in new ways. Note the 3 waterlogs again on turns, hitting these at 20 or more MPH, is quite challenging, and invigorating, I crashed twice on this trail due to too much speed. I learned my limitations due to Clint Eastwoods movies. Hey, doesn't that bush on the right look like a penis? Why the hell would someone that works for Jeffco trim it like that? The same jerkoffs that have been eliminating the wall for "safety", the Femi-Commi's. http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...772&photo=2822 Tight Turn/Switchback, racers take it full speed and it's called "cornering", something I cannot do, at least yet. http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...772&photo=2824 Cute babe going over waterlog, her friend went by 2 times faster, and she was blonde (that explains it). http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...772&photo=2825 Hit this at 20MPH...! I do, and it's like a drug... http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...772&photo=2826 fast due to steep.... http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...772&photo=2827 There it is, or actually 1 of the 4 times it occurs, 3 jumps 6 feet apart, and if you don't brake you're at 30MPH, if you do brake you're at 20MPH, and how do you handle jumps like this without braking? http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...772&photo=2828 Constant assault on the biker - BLAM BLAM BLAM!, or for those that go slow it's nothing. http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...772&photo=2829 The perfect photo showing what makes Falcon under-rated, the constant intense sequence of constant attack on the biker, right before these waterlogs there is 3 jumps up to the left of these not more than 20 feet away. This is where I crashed twice trying to take it at 20MPH. Now I go down to 16MPH and still it's overload. http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...772&photo=2830 Steep descent with jumps, makes Falcon at minimal intermediate level, unless you're a person that brakes through everything. You know, like Ride-A-Lot does. http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...772&photo=2831 Or this biker, he's got at least $2,000.00 rig, yet he's not using it and what it's made for. Everything he's restraining on was put there for the challenge of going fast, and the "rig" (Bike) that he bought was made for this, yet he's not using it and justifying the cost. I take this fast and I have crashed on it. But I have also cleared it 7 times without crashing, at 20MPH or less. http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...772&photo=2832 See how it snakes - look to the right of the picture, and then where the trail is blatantly obvious, again, remember, once you start at the top which is 3 miles away, it's straight down, you never go up again, not once is there another ascent. Some guys can take this at 30MPH if not higher. You can easily get to that speed on this trail, racers do all the time. I barely can handle 20MPH. http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...772&photo=2840 This needs an explanation...???!!! It's ruthless like someone coming after you with a bat and they tried to hit you 4 times sequentially as fast as they could. I hit this at 20MPH and my hands are numb due to this section alone...but I made it... http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...772&photo=2841 Switchback. http://www.singletracks.com/trails/p...772&photo=2842 More waterlogs at the beginning heading up |
