;Djust check "james what" trail, last sunday with novice dhillers, team mate zeus (pasaway), jong laki (groundzero/endless), allan morales (yeti dh 9 mono), cicero (intense m3) and expert dh james s, and nilo (trixx).
how to get there:

you need to hike your bike for 1 hour+ up to the peak where a radar station is located, If you want locals will porter your bike for a fee.

'dal na shock kami, sa gap jump mo, helmet 'dal.....next sunday uli. thanks for the reminder. i wasn't going to jump it co'z of my injury ( ei joey the clavicle still not a 100% ) i don't know what came over me, stupidy i guess. the bullit keeps on mis-shifting, i guess i'm ignoring all the signs. can't wait to go jumping again.
always wear protective gears and take a lot of Calcium, to keep your bones strong. hehehe ;D

james sardea, expert dh and team trixx discovered the trail, rumors say he was knocked out, after crashing, his team mates tries to wake him up, james! james! he answered what? urban legend maybe hehehehe.
used to be team trixx secret trail, now its out in the open hehehehe.
What i heard from james he's planning to have dh race on this trail or the one in maarat before the year ends. Hope the local gov. would allow us.
No cable cars, locals kiids charge P50 half way and P80 up to the radar station. make sure you follow them or they will hide or bury your dh bike and come back later (joke)
1 hour plus hiike and you will descend in only in 3 min. may be 2 min for the expert, (under 2 minutes if you ride like joey barba hehehe).
the last time we went there, no cafgu's and n.p.a.s on sight maybe dayoff din nila hehehehe.
post pictures when we ride there again.
We have already lost the legendary "grotto dh trail", montalban rizal to housing development, (sucks who wants to dh on a concrete pavement) will surely miss berms, rock gardens and steep fire roads. ..at least we have another trail.

middle of the trail s curve, favorite, katawan lang sa pagliko steep, going up technical stairs sa tapat ng bahay ni mang domeng bandang taas na to, basa palagi dahil may bukal. off camber, careful bangin sa kaliwa. finish na. malapit na sa mga bahay, slow down ka na. fire road, cam phone galing, maliit ang pics. nakausap namin ni jong (alphajong) si mang domeng last sunday, sabi nya kung maari pag 12 noon maabutan kami, tigil muna kami mag ride palagpasin muna ito. respeto namin oras ng mga "nakatira" dito para iwas disgrasya. you know what i'm talking about, wala naman mawawala kung maniwala ka. mahirap na baka pag dating mo sa bahay malaki na yung isang yagbols mo dahil nasagasaan mo na pala sya. hehehehe joke.

Tiis ka talaga paakyat, tiis ka din pababa. Sa mga non-pro kagaya ko, meron pahingahan ng brasong ngawet sa preno. Ganda ng view. Delikads sumemps dahil buong bato ang ngudngud sa iyo. sana matuloy ang race.

Post by the D. on Dec 31, 2005 13:32:02 GMT 8
yes, that's about it. a good way to warmed up and to loose some of the hoiliday weight.
but the trek going up isn't all bad, it gives you the time to review the trails, finds the safest route and appreciate the scenery
just don't forget to bring a sunblock
BTW, check out feline's James what expewrience look at the cat, Downhiller na. Frustration run by Mike Torno, after a Flat tire. C'doll in action Kidlat Maingay's run

yes very nice! u know what i would add to that.... just some small 2 footer ramps that will allow some air time especially w/ the speed you're going at.
wooooooooooooooooooo!

Post by the D. on Dec 31, 2005 18:12:33 GMT 8
yeah! that would be great, at the end of the trail. there's a 6 to 8 footer drop

that's per run, and yes it is a walking path. we could find a place for the obstacle. the climb will take about 45 mins max

nice pics u have der guys ...

Post by Poseur on Jan 2, 2006 8:35:13 GMT 8
if 45 mins to come up.... that will take less than 5 mins to get down... max 10 mins (mahal ang brake pads). right?
so if this is a walking path... what are the chances meeting some1 on foot on your way down. that'll be pretty dangerous noh?
