EL FORO/OUR FORUM

Hola amigos...
Como parte de solitudes de varios amigos tanto de Costa Rica como de US (en especial de Oregon) para crear un foro donde puedan discutir, y aunado a que ahora cambie mi disciplina hacia el Freeride/DH, me he dado la tarea de crear un foro, sencillo pero conforme avancemos iremos armandolo mas para el disfrute de todos...

Espero que les sea de su agrado, y de parte de freerideNdownhillCR les extendemos la invitacion...

Hello Folks...
As part of the emails and comments received from costarican locals and US folks (specially from Oregon) to create a forum from where you can discuss, and the fact that I've change to practice Freeride/DH, I have done the task of creating it, simple but as we move forward we will be getting it better for the delight of everybody...

We hope you like it, and from freerideNdownhillCR we invite you to join in...

Wicked Rides I

Hola amigos...

Bueno, este video es la primera de una serie de videos que vamos a tratar de sacar... Me aburri de practicar XC y me decidi hacer Freeride/DH, asi que, esto es apenas el inicio de algo bueno (espero!!)

Fuimos a practicar al Downhill del Monte de La Cruz para la fecha de Invierno, pero llegue tarde y los muchachos ya estaban mas que fogueados con la pista, yo baje una vez y nos fuimos al Riding Ranch, la ya famosita finca llena de rampas y trillos de Heredia...y esto fue parte de lo que sucedio...Mucha gente habia este dia...

Hello folks....

Well, this is the first of a series we hope to shoot...I got bored on practicing XC, so I decided to move to Freeride/DH, so this is the beggining of something good (I hope!!)

We went to practice at the Monte de La Cruz downhill course were will be taken the winter contest, but I got late there so the boys had already gone enought, so I took the course just once and we head over to the now famous farm for Freeride/DH called "Riding Ranch" here in Heredia...and this is part of what happened...lots of people that day...

Hope you like it...and don't forget to leave us your comment...

Nigh Ride Cerro Dantas

Hola amigos...

Bueno, nuevamente con otra loquera de esas marca diablo... Hacia mucho queria hacer este ride de noche, pero por lo dificil del terreno y el factor que se cruzan varios rios y antes del llegar al refugio Cerro Dantas existe varios puentes no muy saludables, me habia resistido a invertarlo...pero bueno, me lo propuse y se inscribieron unos cuantos locos mas... Y como dice el autor de la musica BLACK LEGEND... "You'll see trouble with me"

El clima estaba extremo, habia caido muchisima lluvia toda la tarde, pero igual, salimos a las 7pm como lo acordado, y la aventura dio inicio. Subimos hasta el sector de Getsemani, 10km habiamos recorrido y ya habiamos tenido la primera desviacion por factores climaticos...un rio crecido...seguimos y nos desviamos y llegamos al potrero, que aca la vista es hermosa, luego salimos y llegamos hasta el punto mas alto del tobogan de barro para adentrarnos en el Lado Oscuro de Dantas, ese sector selvatico, impedaleable y lleno de mucha agua y barro. Aca se cobraron muchas fuerzas, pero logramos salir airosos de alli y enrumbarnos hasta la famosa Antena del cerro, de ahi, todo para abajo (3km) bajo un cielo ahora despejado y una Luna que nos abrazaba con su luz, un momento magico en medio de la selva a la 1:30am...7horas y 30minutos despues, dejamos atras 22km de pura adrenalina y aventura, un ride como ningun otro nocturno que yo conozca...



Hello folks...

Well, another crazy ride...a wicked one!!... For a long time I have always wanted to do this ride at night, but for the hars terrain, some rivers we have to cross and the fact that right before the shelter (refuge) are various bridges in some way bad shape, I have always deny myself for doing so...but, I make my way to accomplish it along with some other "just like me crazy folks"... and like the author of the song BLACK LEGEND says...
"You'll see trouble with me"

The weather was extreme, huge rain fall during the afternoon, but we kept the departure time at 7pm and the adventure begun... We climb up to Getsemani, about 10km we had passed and we had already took a detour becuase of the weather...flooding river...we went on and got to the "potrero", here the view is just speachless, then we move on to "tobogan de barro" highest peak and head it to the "Dark side of Cerro Dantas", a wild-deep in the jungle trail, imposible to ride and full of mud and water. Here the strenghts were mild down but we manage to get out and head north to the shelter...3KM of the most beautiful trail I've ever ride...clear sky and full moon with a shiny light, a magic moment deep in the jungle at 1:30am...after 7hours and 30minutes we reach the refuge, we leave behind 22km of adrenaline rush and adventure in its best, like no other night ride I ever hear...

Endurance Atenas 2008

Con la presencia de dos campeones suramericanos, un Deiber relegado a un segundo lugar y un clima misericordioso, paso la Tercera Fecha de la Copa de MTB Endurance (Pipasa).

Una ruta rompepiernas puso a prueba hasta a los de mayor experiencia, una subida a Grifo Alto que paso facturas por doquier, un DH apto para suicidas, retorno hasta Atenas fue eterno y duro para los pedalista...Y un SINGLE TRACK EPICO...eso nos deparo esta Fecha de Endurance, una Fecha UCI...



With the presence of two southamerican champions, Deiber Esquivel left to second place and benevolent weather, stage 3 of Copa Endurance (Pipasa) of MTB took place.

A broke legs route, it tested even the experience cyclist, a climb up to Grifo Alto that took its people down, a suicidal DH, a long, hard and neverending return to Atenas...an EPIC SINGLE TRACK...this left us this stage of Copa Endurance, an UCI Stage...
