So just curious, how does it work. Saw Timberline is opening and tried to imagine getting on a lift. Do they stop it, how does the bike stay on?,whats the process? Cool that Tline is finally getting this going! _________________ Kite Repair?

And when I say modern - they've been around since the 80's. dangler Since 26 Feb 2006 1781 Posts WINDY SPOTS XTreme Poster Thu Aug 08, 19 3:20 pm    whaaa I know how lifts work, I'm wondering what you do with the bike. It doesnt dangle from your feet as easily as a snowboard. _________________ Kite Repair?

Procedure is reversed at the top station. It's country club mtn. biking eric Since 13 Jan 2006 1871 Posts XTreme Poster Thu Aug 08, 19 5:01 pm     Mark, skip to 1:30: https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=AwrXpmdyxUxd.GIAcAEPxQt.;_ylu=X3oDMTB0NjZjZzZhBGNvbG8DZ3ExBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNwaXZz?p=loading++bikes+onto+chair&type=dhm_A0BR6_set_bfr__alt__ddc_srch_searchpulse_net&hspart=domaindev&hsimp=yhs-st_emea&ei=UTF-8&fr=yhs-domaindev-st_emea#id=16&vid=2fc6c426eee244d92e331ca66c0f856f&action=view eric Since 13 Jan 2006 1871 Posts XTreme Poster Thu Aug 08, 19 5:02 pm     Mark, skip to about 0:45: https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=AwrXpmdyxUxd.GIAcAEPxQt.;_ylu=X3oDMTB0NjZjZzZhBGNvbG8DZ3ExBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNwaXZz?p=loading++bikes+onto+chair&type=dhm_A0BR6_set_bfr__alt__ddc_srch_searchpulse_net&hspart=domaindev&hsimp=yhs-st_emea&ei=UTF-8&fr=yhs-domaindev-st_emea#id=16&vid=2fc6c426eee244d92e331ca66c0f856f&action=view Wind Slither Since 04 Mar 2005 2624 Posts The 503 METAL Fri Aug 09, 19 7:13 am     I was just up at Tline and saw the chairs alternate between bike carriers and human carrierrs. Not sure if your bike goes on the carrier in front of you or in back. And Tline to town trail was riding much smoother this year so thanks to whatever crews have been working on it!

You load your bikes into the tray, and they sit there secure. Pretty simple.        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
