'wcs90' I don't think you get it, it's not about what YOU think is POD - everyone has different opinions on riding/life/everything, you need to grow up and realize this.

I understand what POD is. you didn't understand what I meant. I just wanted to say that giving negative props to people who don't like pic, ONLY BEACAUSE OF it's POD, is groundless
everyone has a proof to express opinion. peace

Why does someone like wcs90 get - props for speaking his mind, while someone like FS-pt gets + props for saying "high trees"?
You shouldn't give someone - props just because they think something different than what you do.
Nice pic, by the way. The angle of the camera is perfect!

hmmm, i don't understand the point of the 2 foot raised, 3 foot wide boardwalk, complete with steel welded structure, and through bolt fasteners ... geez what a waste of material when there's a perfectly nice pine needle bed trail under it ... "northshore" isn't this i'm afraid to say. northshore trail building is when there is no other option than what's naturally available in order to maintain a line, flow, or to introduce a feature stunt that needs to be built out ... anyways, very nice work on the "boardwalk", just totally unnecessary and my opinion so don't hate me for it cheers.

Its a bike park. So this stunt is hit about 200 time everyday diablo is open. All of the stunts at diablo are overbuilt. But this is a good thing It makes it easier for beginners to feel confident riding them. I mean honestly diablo is the greats place ever. The 20-30 foot long tables are great for buiding confidence. They have the progression drops which go from 2-6 feet. It just doesnt get better then diablo. Everything is perfectly groomed up there too. I can wait till the 26th.

"So this stunt is hit about 200 time everyday diablo is open. All of the stunts at diablo are overbuilt. But this is a good thing It makes it easier for beginners to feel confident riding them." Not only that, but it makes them durable, so they can withstand several seasons with thousands and thousands of abusing them.

Great photo ruined only by the obscenely large watermark.
timikiwi also raises a good point when he said:
"Begs the question though - why the stupidly big ladder/run up? The ground looks pretty solid. Wouldn't it have been a lot less effort just to build a dirt kicker?"

without going to the trail, its impossible to say whether the ladder is necessary, but the ground does look rather flat which could cause a drainage problem, in which case it's consistent with the true essence of north-shore trail building.

"A lot less effort" Sure, but would it be the same thing to ride? Probably not. It's probably just a part of the stunt.

Why the bridge instead of a dirt kicker? How about easy maintenance...? Build it with dirt and EVERY day (probably multiple times) someone would have to go up and re-shape the lip...
Just my reasoning as to why they went with that....
plus it's good to see a POD that's not some form of generic dirt jumping with sunny skies.

It is a nice pic and all, but seriously the people taking pictures up there need to take some shots of something else besides this kicker and that deck drop. They have pictures of opening day on RM and there isnt one other picture besides this and the deck drop. NOTHING ELSE AT ALL. After seein 100 different shots of it, Im tired of looking at it.

is that diablo? i did alot of the trails this year and dint find a kicker that long or else its just the angle of that step up to step out kicker on salvation
