Longest Legit DH in the Southeast? Jordan Bouldin on Windmill at Windrock 8

Top-to-bottom goodness for an 8-minute DH-bike-worthy descent in Tennessee! The majority of trail shown in this video will be a stage of the Tennessee National Enduro in mid-March.

Love some Windmill but - its not the longest or biggest drop in the southeast.

Heartbreak > Star Gap is 5.2 miles / 2,900+ ft (western NC)...a solid 15 mins pushing it (not sure of kom times)  Others nearby with similar mileage / elevation at 15-20 mins (without stops).  Weedpatch is 10.3 (ish) miles and 3,250 drop - about 30 mins (some climbs) nonstop. There are many others that aren't "legit" - meaning they're even more legit. That being said it might be more rad to watch JB hit Windmill in 8 mins.

Man...it's crazy to think that trail was cut by some crazy dudes in 2000-2001 or so & it's still the exact same width 24 years later.
The little rock kickers. the root balls, most of that stuff up top on WindMill has never moved an inch!

The little rock ledge at 4:05 has crippled more people than most anything at the park.  Sniper rocks off the back side are murderous.  

Thanks Jordan.  I'll get the all clear to ride again in April  Appreciate all the work.  It's colder than a well diggers ass up there.

Its frustrating for those of us that live in the Rocky Mountains, where local trails can easily exceed 3,000 foot elevation change, can't support more DH tracks.
