[motomike]

[HRDTLBRO]

I'll be there if I don't sell my bike before hand.

[stoneysnake]

$5000 up for grabs

[rpk1988]

Really. Damn Greg you could do a lot with $5000. Any bike of your choice. Just about. What would you buy?

[super95awd]

I'll most likely be there.

[HotButterToppin]

I can do it, but only if someone lets me crash on their floor. I'm broke!!

I could also use a full susser to rent/ride. I'll bring beer, that's all I can afford. :(

[Msisle Dad]

We will be there..cant wait

[SK6]

Finances prohibit me from attending.... :(

[profro]

Jeremy R and I will be there.

[SK6]

To all who are going....Take some PICS!!!!!!!!!!

[Capt. Jack Sparrow]

I'll be there.

[T-Pro]

Can you identify this rider?

[bballboy388]

Really. Damn Greg you could do a lot with $5000. Any bike of your choice. Just about. What would you buy?
ouh that would be a hard decision i would have to go out and test ride... but it would probly bee something like a 7point7 or a asx or along those lines a bike that hase a front fork i can lift off the ground lol. btw dose anyone know if there are any camp grounds around snow shoe

[Dhextremecb]

Can you identify this rider?
It appears to be the Junior Ex guy from Richmond Ruckus....correct me if I'm wrong.....The guy that rides the Ellsworth.

[rpk1988]

btw dose anyone know if there are any camp grounds around snow shoe

A believe there was a thread on that a couple months back.

[Dartman]

Can you identify this rider?

That would be Jordan Richard.

Took a heck of a digger in practice right in front of Phil Duncan's camera, then took 9th place in Jr. Expert race.

He's one tough sumbitch!

Jordan in Yardsale at Mount Snow (http://www.photoreflect.com/scripts/prsm.dll?eventorder?photo=0BDN000F000064&start=0&album=0&adjust=-1&d=0&pphoto=0BDN000F000063)

Mike

[mobius]

Haha i spotted those pics of jordan and started laughing but cringing at the same time i'd love to try yardsale just to see how bad i'd get owned.

[SK6]

I'll be there!

Braaaappp!!!!

Braaaappp!!!!

[el_gordo]

whoaah --
what's the guess it is going to be dry??? Also read someother thread that there will only be one course -- anybody know more about that???

[mobius]

just like every other mid atlantic cup series stop their is going to be one course.

[Dartman]

Braaaappp!!!!

Hehehe...

All my friends were yelling that at the start of my run. They were so loud I could barely hear the beeps on the timer.

Mike

[BigMike]

Hehehe...

All my friends were yelling that at the start of my run. They were so loud I could barely hear the beeps on the timer.

Mike

sorry :)

I was yelling it all the way down the course, until I got 0wned :(


I will most likely be there, and If i'm not able to race, I'll get in touch with Mike and see what I can do to helpout. I might just come up and take pictures. We'll see how the knee is......... and what gas prices are looking like :dead:

[teamkranzelbike]

Can you identify this rider?

yES,
Jordan Richard under 18 expert.

hey we will be there, dont forget to bring your new college freshman buddies, we got 2 $100.00 bills to give away to the "fastest Freshman" down the mountain.

[SK6]

Hehehe...

I know, I was one of 'em! :thumb:

[bballboy388]

do u need a membership thing to sign up? and how much is it?

[Jayridesacove]

I have to work that weekend. Some of my other friend's will be racing that weekend. I hope everyone has a good time!

[DHanamal]

Jordan is cool, but he needs to lay off the Chapelle quotes, they're a bit played.

[BigMike]

do u need a membership thing to sign up? and how much is it?


Yep, You need to write a check to me, I'll PM you my adress :)


Actually, if you don't have a yearly Norba license, you have to buy a day license which I belive is $5 a day you will be there (sometimes they don't charge for practice days) Race entry fees are usually around $45.00, for a total of somewhere around fiddy dollars :)

Its a good time :thumb:

[mobius]

Derrick and hummer racing?

[el_gordo]

just like every other mid atlantic cup series stop their is going to be one course.
And that one course would look like...

The Sport Course???
The Pro Course???
Something totally different???

[Jeremy R]

And that one course would look like...

Yeah, what is the word on the course?
Things like this are important when gas is 3.39. ;)

[BigMike]

Well, I ain't gonna be racing, but I'll probably be there helping out and/or taking pictures.

Stupid Knee

[profro]

Yeah, what is the word on the course?

Yeah, what is the course? I'm coming no matter what, but I'd like to know.

JR, diesel is $2.89/gal. :)

[mobius]

Pro course with changes.

[motomike]

Pro course with changes.

YES! :dancing: :dancing:

[super95awd]

O god, the pro course and I don't get along too well for some reason. This is going to be a long weekend.

[profro]

Will the other trails on the western territory be open during the weekend?

[denjen]

Usually during Mayham Sat. is just an open day of riding on the whole moutain with the race on Sunday. I was there last weekend. The pro course is fun. They have done a lot of work to make it ridable for every one. Unfortunatly it looks like I wont be up there this weekend good luck to every one, have a great time.

[Jeremy R]

Pro course with changes.

Word.

[super95awd]

They have done a lot of work to make it ridable for every one.

What changes did they make??

[denjen]

They mainly have benched the off camber section out more. At the bottom of the off camber section the bermed up the hard right turn and then made the ride around the log drop a lot smoother and more doable.

[bizutch]

Jeremy R and I will be there.
and me too...we gonna strap Terry's smelly ass to the roof rack?

Doesnt look like it. I was there last weekend and probably go back the weekend after mayham. Cant afford 3 weekends in a row plus the entry fee if I go. Good luck

Dennis

[AlmostHeaven]

i'd love to try yardsale just to see how bad i'd get owned.

mobius? getting P3NED? i highly doubt that.

[Msisle Dad]

Any changes to mtx?

[HRDTLBRO]

Sweet...i'm stoked that we'll be running the pro course. Weather looks to be dry for the weekend...everyone knock on wood and cross your fingers. What's the deal with this "slopestyle" thing going down?

[AlmostHeaven]

What's the deal with this "slopestyle" thing going down?

there will be no 'slopestyle' event.

you can thank Racer's Edge for all that awesome hype! :thumb:

[drt_jumper]

mountain cross is that same as it was from the national...no changes...was just there 3 days ago

[bizutch]

do I have ot pay extra to ride the mountaincross????

[Msisle Dad]

mountain cross is that same as it was from the national...no changes...was just there 3 days ago

Very Good ! Forecast looks great too

[AlmostHeaven]

Mountaincross course will be open the entire weekend EXCEPT for practice and race times.

Other than that, have at it!


EDIT: drt_jumper - clean out your PM's!

[trust4130]

Anyone know if the mtx (or other) courses will be open for riding on Friday?

[T-Pro]

Yes, both the Basin and Western side will be fully open.

[Salami]

Yes, both the Basin and Western side will be fully open.


The basin side will open Friday?

Will the lift be running on the Western side at all this week/weekend?

[BigMike]

good deal bro. access comes with your entry fee? or extra to do the race and the park?

[oldskoolbiker]

I'd like to go, but I need a place to crash. Anybody have space in their room, or anybody want to split a room. I found units online available for about $100/night.

Also does anybody know what the entry fee is for the event? I don't see this listed on the snowshoe website.

[AlmostHeaven]

I'm still trying to decide if I'm going or not but if so I'll split a room with you.

I believe the fee is $40-50

[oldskoolbiker]

camp out in silvercreek parking lot

You serious about this? If so do you have any details? Like does snowshoe allow this? Are you suggesting sleeping in my car?

I would consider this if I had a FREE place to setup a tent.

[HRDTLBRO]

Fee is 25 bucks a tent, per night....even without power. We got screwed at norba, because we had thought it was free...and apparently we were wrong, so we ended up paying. It was no fault but our own...I just believe that having to pay to set up a tent on a gravel parking lot...and not using any of the resources blows.

[HotButterToppin]

Well looks like a fairly decent chance of me being there with Brunettes and Oldskoolbiker. Now I just have to get my car running.

Anyone know if there's any restriction against running a rental Stinky in the race? Sure it's ghetto, but it's either that or brave it on a hardtail which may or may not be a wise idea.

[Dartman]

Anyone know if there's any restriction against running a rental Stinky in the race?

You better hope there is a rental Stinky left that isn't racing!

[mobius]

You can do anything u want but if u break it u buy it. all parts included.

[bballboy388]

hbt u can do it me and steve are lol

Not true...The diablo series is "mid-atlantic" and puts the racers edge series to shame. Have fun riding slowshoe suckas!

[HotButterToppin]

Hmm, who else rents bikes up there if I can't get one of those Stinkys? Are they really that short on supply?

I'll be up bright and early Saturday morning to go score one either way.

[BigMike]

:rolleyes:


:nuts: to you too buddy.

OK, sorry :(



You all should look for me, I'll be the one there looking at the racing longingly like I want to be out there, but wont be :(

I will be taking LOTS of pictures though......... so remeber your number, I may just get one of you :)

And hopefully I'll be helping out with some of the race stuff, I figure, if I can't race, I may as well support the cause :thumb:

[HotButterToppin]

I hope by "support the race" you mean you're going to be personally donating $1000 to the fastest redhead over 200 pounds racing a rental OR a silver specialized hardtail. Nyuck nyuck. ;)

The series needs you!!

[BigMike]

Yes, Thats EXACTLY what I meant. But I had a few more stipulations. I will donate $1000 to the fastest redhead over 200 pounds racing a rental OR a silver specialized hardtail AND who backflips off every drop in the race (I belive there are 14 on the pro course, dunno what they have changed, or if they are still an option to go off)

[HotButterToppin]

Hmm....yeah I should have all that covered. It'll be hard to just throw plain backflips though without the extra cross-ups or turndowns during them.

I'M AMAZING YOU IDIOTS!!!

;)

Anyhow, any other shops that'll rent bikes around SS? Maybe I should snag a Demo 8 or 9 as it's more up to my SICK riding?

Being that close to NY, IMO is a stretch for Mid-Atlantic...of course the race in PA is somewhat of a stretch too... I guess how far you stretch the "Mid" is the questions...northern Florida & southern Maine could also be considered "Mid"! :D

I think I stayed right beside you. I was the junk show at the end of the parking lot with the gigantic blue tarp strung over our tents. We didn't pay that stupid fee and were never asked for it.


So don't pay it this time. ;)

[oldskoolbiker]

Well looks like HBT, Brunettes, myself and a buddy of mine will be there. I just reserved a 2 Bedroom unit in Rimfile lodge for $175 for Saturday night. I rented off a guy named Henry I found on VRBO.com. I called snowhoe and they wanted like $325 for for a "budget" one bedroom at the top of the mountain. They gave me another choice of the Inn at the base of the mountain for $110 for a hotel type room. However I much perfer to stay at the top. Anway I think I'd take the Ritz for $175 over Motel 6 for $110 anyday. I hope my buddies agree also, since they will have to fork out about $15 additional dollars each for my decision.

I'm really looking forward to the race.

[lux]

Trust me, you made the right decision. Staying at the bottom suX0rs.

[MikeT]

ok, so does anyone have the EXACT price(need to know) for the race fee? Also does the race fee cover lift access to both sides of the mountain? Also , are the 2 courses still going to be used, or just the pro course for all categories? (clarification

What? I have never heard of anybody having to pay. I think somone pocketed your money - just pop your **** and act like you've been living there for years. :D

Just don't go to the Silvercreek lodge and volunteer any info regarding your stay in there fabulous and luxurious parking lot, and you should be fine.

alright thanx for the info. So how come the sport course is not being used ?

[denjen]

alright thanx for the info. So how come the sport course is not being used ?
Because it would take all day to move the course people from one course to the other between races. They ran both courses at the first mayham and there was a several hour gap in between the races

[oldskoolbiker]

I just called the MAC and got a conflicting story. They said the $45 race fee only covered the race, and DH practice which is all on the western side. He said if I wanted to ride the Freeride park, I would need to pay $20 for a park pass.

Also if anybody didn't already know, the $45 fee is if you already have a NORBA license. If you don't have that you will need to buy one. I think you can get 1 day NORBA licenses for like $5.

The guy I talked to also said there would be plenty of rental bikes available.

Anybody on here work at the MAC and can clear this up?

I dont think any one from snow shoe posts here they are much to busy for that :oink: :love:

[Brunettes]

the extra $ is not a problem for me (seems like a much better deal anyway)

[oldskoolbiker]

Me either, that is what I was figuring on anyway, until I saw the post that the $45 covers both lifts. I thought I better call and find out for sure.

[bballboy388]

[/QUOTE] I think you can get 1 day NORBA licenses for like $5.00 [/QUOTE]
dose that mean i have to buy 2 passes for the practice day and the race day or do i not need one on the practice day

no u just need a norba license for the race day practice days dont matter and you can only get day licenses for sport and below.

I would think the license is only needed for the actual race, not for practice. Of course what do I know, I havn't raced a NORBA event before.

oldskoolbiker - Here is the deal:

Taken straight from the Snowshoe schedule of events:

"On Saturday and Sunday a guest can ride EITHER LIFT with their bike if they are part of the event and have a race number or Combo Shuttle/Park pass."

That being said, if you are registered for the race, have your number on your bike, then you CAN ride the freeride park. For free. It's included in your registration.

Message to Almost Heaven

Is there any chance that you will run out of rental bikes by 10:00 AM saturday? Two of the guys I'm going with don't have DH bikes and want to rent. But they are afraid that no DH bikes will be available when we get there and want to bring their XC bikes as a backup.

I would perfer not to bring two extra bikes with us if rentals will not be a problem.

Thanks.

[bballboy388]

also im not sure if it said or not but do i need a full face helmet like what pads are required

[rpk1988]

Have fun up there monkey's. Tear it up Greg and Steve.

[mobius]

Almostheaven says he has no idea.

i dont think hes psychic enough to tell.

[super95awd]

It says on the site that DH practice is over at 2 tomorrow. Can we keep riding the course until the lifts close or what's the deal with that? I don't think we can get down until 12, that's why I'm wondering.

[BigMike]

It was a good time, eventhough I couldn't ride. I got loooots of pictures, so if you hit the rock drop under the lift, I probably have a picture of you, I'm gonna go through them in the next few days, and figure out how i'm gonna distribute them.

[super95awd]

Ahh such a sick weekend, and the first weekend on the new 05 V10 frame. Only got in 2 practice runs cause we were late on Saturday. I got to my race run and completely washed out in the first hard turn diving back into the woods and lost my shoe. Jumped back on, pinned it and ended up coming in 2nd in Junior Sport. Later on, a kid got moved up from the 12-15 age category even though he was 15 and knocked me to 3rd, but my 3rd place prize was better anyways. :) Thanks to everybody that pitched in to make it a great weekend. My plate number was 1547 on a black V10. If you have a pic of me that would be great.

Thanks so VERY MUCH for helping out this weekend at Snowshoe and taking pics !!

Busted knees SUCK !!!!

It was a pleasure to meet and talk with you over your fried cheese sticks (Homer Simpson say...."MMMMMMMMMM, fried cheese sticks.) :drool: . I hope the knee gets better soon.

If you have a chance, could you look over your pics and see if you have a photo of #1406 (aka.. Stymie the Seatless Wonder) ? It would be a hoot to see just how terrified I looked after having to ride the lower 3rd of the course without a seat. :nuts:

Oh well, still had a respectable time anyway and a GREAT TIME at the MACS finals.

Props to the Racer's Edge and Snowshoe staff for putting on ONE HELL OF A RACE !!!!

I still wonder what Joel is going to do with that snowboard ????????

I went through some of the pics last night, and i'm renaming all the files with the rider numbers..... So gimme a day or two, and i'll start a new post about pics.

[mobius]

I boosted that hip so many times in practice hoping someone would snap a pic but i don't think anyone did.

[manhattanprjkt83]

snowshoe was amazing this weekend, i didnt race...just got down there on saturday night and camped in silvercreek. We rode yesterday from lift open to lift close, so fun.

snowshoe was amazing this weekend, i didnt race...just got down there on saturday night and camped in silvercreek. We rode yesterday from lift open to lift close, so fun. All of the lines were so fast and flowy it was just total bliss. On a bad note i think i broke my hand on "H"...I went off some big rock and come down with a fist full of tree. ouch...

I swear i think I'm gonna cry...... :( :(

I would love to ride Sweet dreams when its not a mud slide, it would be SO much fun...

[Capt. Jack Sparrow]

Yeah, the whole weekend was really fun. The course was excellent. I wish I had ridden it more.

Well done, Racer's Edge! And thanks for the goggles and hat! I actually really needed both. :)

I even got home well before midnight, and that was a real treat!

[bizutch]

I'm gonna start a Snowshoe hugfest thread once I get done reading everybody elses...

I had a great time this weekend, except I think I could probably win the award for most injured rider.

Between practice sessions we were up at the Drop Park, I was trying to get a good picture set of me coming off the 4th pier. Well for various reasons my buddy couldn't figure out my camera, and I jumped off 4 times with no picture. Maybe I was getting frustrated at him or something, or thinking more about the picture than riding, anyway on the 5th attempt to get a picture I wrecked big time. basicaly I forgot to pull up and landed really nose heavy and flipped and landed hard on my back. My hard chest/back protector saved most of my skin, but I got alot of scratches and bruises where that wasn't covering. Also after the wreck I had a really sore rib.

Well I decided to race anyway so I kept practicing and riding although I was in alot of pain. During the race I wrecked again in the rock garden. I quickly hopped back on the bike and immately wrecked again because I didn't realize my wheel was pointed left because my stem moved. Well it took me about 1 1/2 minutes to get the stem straightened out. At that point I knew I was done so I just slowly cruised down the mountain. I went around the rock drop on my race run, so I doubt BigMike took my picture. All that for a dead last time of 8:00 minutes.

I was in such pain that I went to the Doctor today and he said I most likely broke a rib, but I would need X-rays to confirm it. However he said X-rays would only be academic since there is nothing I can do for a broken rib except to let it heal.

I'll probably be taking it easy until all this heals up, so I doubt you'll see me up at Reading.

If anybody remembers seeing me, I was the one wearing the oldskool blue TL Comp Edge helment riding a polished Yeti ASX.

I figured I better post my excuse before my friends started blasting me on here for my poor race performance.

[BigMike]

Sorry to hear about your injuries man, ribs suck, I've been there. Just don't laugh, cough, and oh yeah, breathe, and you'll not feel the pain.

Although, I don't think you are the most injured of the weekend, Adam (drt_jmper) Really screwed up his knee. If any of you on here know Adam, and weren't there to see what happened to him, you might wanna give him a call to see how he's doing. He's a cool guy, hate to see him hurt.

I hate to see anyone hurt, so all you hurt :monkey:'s out there, heal up quick!

Does anyone konw what happened to the guy who got up on the podium with a sling?

[oldskoolbiker]

I think I saw that guy crash right at the finish line. It would explain the sling and still being up on the podium.

[teamkranzelbike]

We had a great time. It was a great way to end a series. It is a shame that a lot of good friends won't be seen again till next season. My brother rocked it hard for the last time on his hard tail, so you guys in the 40+ sport class better look out he is fully shopping as we speak. The gromm finished out the year pretty good as well. I didnt get to make my race run. in my last practice run I took a pretty good fall right at the finish line. one of those quick slam you to the ground falls. when I hit my shoulder popped out, as luck would have it the bike flew aroung and hit me in the back and knocked it back in. I am still really hurting, but happy. Had a real funny too. while rolling a drop I should have jumped, (I was line hunting) I got my shorts stuck in the back tire, and they got pulled completely down. there i am standing bare assed in the middle of the trail, dont know what the guy thet passed me must have been thinking but he could have at least put a buck in my pants!! hope to see some of you at the reading race. othere wise see you next season, I will show up either faster or fatter, either way , it's all good!!!

I wasn't going to say a thing, It can/has happened to anyone.:dead:

[HotButterToppin]

Hey I wasn't going to say anything either, but I'm sure at the next race or ride I'll have cooked up some pretty good lines to bark at you as you send it off a rock or something. ;)

I'm still trying to work out the physics of how I got my man-bits caught between my seat and the rocker arm of my Stinky on that retardedly small drop.

I think what I lacked in catastrophic injuries I fully made up for in quanity and comedy of stacks. I blame it all on my body armor which was riding up on me like an ill-fitting tube top! And solar radiation! Damn sun.

[VegiBikerDude]

Does anyone konw what happened to the guy who got up on the podium with a sling?

Yeah, thats Sam Savage, rode up with me, unfortunatly he cracked his clavical :dead: but still got first!

[BigMike]

Thats BAD-ASS!

Hope he heals up quick!

[HotButterToppin]

If I remember correctly the guy who spun out 3' from the finish line was a husky kid who got all pissed off and spiked his bike like a football in the endzone after he Fred-Flinstoned it across the line.

So no, that's not broken clavical guy I would imagine.

Hehehe...Sounds like Jordan.

Anyone want to buy a spiked Ellsworth Dare?

Mike

[super95awd]

I'd like to say thanks to Kranzel Bikes for giving me all this cool stuff for being the unchallenged freshman on the mountain :thumb:.

[bballboy388]

oh haha that was u i was right behind u when u went up for the award congrats

[drt_jumper]

Well news on my knee is most likely I completely ripped my MCL away from the bone on my knee and also ripped/tore the crap out of my ACL. I go in monday for an MRI to confirm this. So I will be out for a long while. Thanks to Mike for not letting my finish my run, he def. saved my knee from more damage. Anyway thanks to everyone who was there and made me feel better about it. Ok enough mushy crap. Later Adam

[super95awd]

bballboy: Thanks man, I was happy about that. I was also happy about my 2nd place finish (turned into 3rd after some kid got bumped up in age class somehow) on a brand new frame WITH a crash and lost shoe :dancing:.

Adam: Really sorry to hear about that man. You'll be back on the bike sooner than you know.

[BigMike]

Damn Adam! So when is the MRI? I hope its not too bad, and like 95 said, you'll be on the bike before ya know it! (Wearing FULL pads I hope!)

[Msisle Dad]

does anyone know the dh jr x results?

Damn dude, good vibes and prayers your way. Sandy's a PT and has been one for 20 years, and also teaches it for MCV on the "job", kinda like an intern basis. So if you have any questions, or anything you may not understand, call, PM, e-mail or anyway you want and she'd be more then happy to help you in whatever way you need!

Heal up bro! :thumb:

i am the guy who wrecked 5' from the finish line. i was quite indeed upset about that, subconciously causing me to more or less 'ghost-ride' my bike, i wouldn't really call it a 'spike'. totally different things.

you'd be upset if you slid out within sight of the finish line too, i'm sure. it all turned out OK because i ended up getting 2nd place in Expert 19-29 with a 4:29.

thanks Racers Edge! hope everyone else had an awesome weekend too!

[HotButterToppin]

Ah, you're the other guy who sent his bike rolling towards the spot-o-pots.

I was referring to some other guy who spiked his bike down on it's side. But yours would have been hilarious if it hit the spot-o-pots while someone was in there. Hehe.

still got the wrong person. i ghost rode my bike towards the lift in the opposite direction of the porta-potties. it stayed up for a while then fell to the ground on it's side, which sounds like what you're trying to describe.

i guess everyone would have done about the same thing crashing that close to the damn finish line!! :mumble:

your poofy hair threw you off balance... :cool:

Lots of disgruntled riders.

I just did a three-part blog about the weekend. I pretended to be my girlfriend as I wrote it. (She's not a cyclist but is very supportive of me.)

[Brunettes]

Anyone get/putting together a video?

[BigMike]

Anyone get/putting together a video?

I took some video, but i'm so lazy that I didnt go out to my truck saturday night to get and charge my battery, so I don't have much footage :( I only made it about a 1/3 way down the course during Sunday morning practice before it died

Oh well, there is always next time :thumb:
