Went this weekend. Highland is effing sick. Plenty of big stunts, tech trails, natural terrain, swoopy berms deep in the woods, huge slopestyle park, 2 true jump parks, a sweet pump track and a bar. I haven't had to override the sense-of-self-preservation feeling in a while while riding, but a few of the stunts made me sack up a bit before hitting them. Definitely worth the trip. I urge you to GO. And bring a hardtail for post-DH jump sessions in the parks after the lifts close. We stayed here, about 10 minutes from the mountain. I'm gonna try and make this trip as well. Have to talk it over with the Boss. |

I am prepared to sack up, as well as possibly punk out as my imagination has now been supercharged!
FEAR! YES! WOOHOO! BOING!
Traditional Huck nuttiness aside - while I could be faster, and DEF turn better - Diablo, Creek et localness hasnt made me 2nd guess since 03. Im looking forward to being 'scared'

Pushing the speed limit or tricking on any corse can be scarry to everyone. That's why we do this shit and need to check out spots like Highland to get our huck crack on. I'm seriously thinking of coming up there on those dates -Oct 18/19. Any pics or vids to get us even more amp'd about going there?  ? |

Ali, I'm having trouble understanding what you write
I was thinking of leaving sat morn, hella early and staying until either Mon morning and driving back
or leaving driving back sun night
If we gets a multi passneger vehicle, then can share driving and makes the trip much easier
It's getting close, esp for reserving a big vehicle
Lets try to get a roll call here:
Me
Charlie ? (Christian)
Ali ?
Rob ?
Andrew ?
Chun?
Vas?
Santo?
Scotty?
Iggy?
Others?
What about BMW crue?
I've been trying to stir some interest on the other nyc bike forum too
Need help, can't do this all by myself

just started looking at van prices Here Thats for 3 days http://reservations.valueautorental.com/rates?action=vehicle_and_rates12 passenger 3 days about $420 unlimited mi 15 pass about $450 That doesnt include gas/tools. schlepping around directions 300 mi, so figure about 700 round triip So 12 miles / gal = around 58.3 gals So 58.3 x 3.85 gal = $225 in gas + maybe another $15 tolls = $240 So travel expenses = $675 and no one has to put the miles on their cars Directions from Jersey City, where I am staying http://maps.google.com/maps?daddr=Northfield,+New+Hampshire&geocode=&dirflg=&saddr=jersey+city,nj&f=d&sll=43.430175,-71.588837&sspn=0.013573,0.03253&ie=UTF8&z=8Lodging Hampton's website says $172 for that sat night for 4 ppl, 2 queen beds, we can scam and say 1 person, but only seems about 20-30 difference, not worth it Super 8 is similar prices and only has 2 doubles or kings for more So total travel and lodging are about $847 if we stay one night Passes are $35/day http://www.highlandmountain.com/So for 4 ppl its $211 + 70 for lift = $281 If there are 8 ppl (can we do 8ppl and bikes in the 15 pass van?) add a room at $172 = 1046 = $130pp, $200 with lift Food not included That's not too shabby for a chance to ride a world class bike park |

Hampton Inn gives you a break if you mention Highland also, works out to like $165 a night for room w/ 2 queens. Plus, FREE BREAKFAST. I can't make the weekend, unfortunately, the missus has to leave for an biz trip Sunday afternoon.  The rest of you, GO. It's well worth the trip. PS - that Super 8 is a cesspool. |

If we don't get some semi firm commitment from a few heads soon
Not going to bother dealing with van rental (a major headache)
Just roll with smaller crew

I'm down but looks like I need to be back by Sunday night, since I'm tight on vacation days and lots of deadlines at work. if it doesn't fit the schedule, guess I'm out .
