Why in the world would any discipline of mountain biking be canceled because of rain? Maybe slalom racers should stick to BMX if they are afraid of some mud.

The reason I say this is Snowshoe last year was lucky when they postponed to the next day. It was dry, but the forecast was calling rain. So what, get your a$$ out there and get dirty!!

It was not the racers decision, it was Team Big Bear.

Remember that.

From the looks of it they didn't have much of a choice.....

boo hoo....only one line through the turn.....and all they had to do was toss some gravel in that ditch and it's on(with a section of corrugated pipe under it). There was only one line through that turn from the looks of it anyway...

Yeah, it's not the mud that makes the course look bad--it's the course itself.

Funny how you can see the tracks leading up to the back of the berm from the loader.....I'd run in the mud.
