[manimal]

mbrp....is the DS course tame enough for the lil' dude? any gaps or are they all tables/rollers?

[mbrp07]

Course design acknowledges those with 165mm cranks...I am hoping there are plenty of kids that want to race, course will seem like a mile long for them! Looking forward to seeing him rip it!

I will try and come out and bring some of the ETSU guys if you can give me a heads up on construction dates!

cool...same for the DH course? i'm getting excited now!

[mbrp07]

From pics I've seen- and from seeing him in action, some norba-heads could get embarressed! Any tricky part of the course has option lines for those who chose so. Plus, the loam softens the blow!

[manimal]

sweet! just spoke w/ the wife and as long as i can get july 7th off, we'll be there for the DS and most definitely for the DH in august :thumb:

one more thing...how far is wolf from sugar? i think we'll try to get in a few shuttle runs at sugar before the DS race if it's not too far apart.

look on your map and follow the line from Mars Hills to Burnsville to Spruce Pine to Linville and that's how you go from Wolf.
It's around an 1-1/2 hour drive depending on traffic.

bumpity bump bump its almost go time!

[TCP21]

so is slalom this weekend???? i am really confused

[mbrp07]

Slalom racing only this weekend. If guys want a local lift-assist bike park, you need to show strong support for the park by bringing everyone you know this saturday- racers and spectators alike.

After the dust settles, bbq ribs will be served to racers for free. $10 per person for those not registered to race.

[TCP21]

dont know if i can take off work this weekend but i will find out and see. can we race single speed or is it geared only??

Any pics of the DS course???? That may help people get out there.

[mbrp07]

Single speed, 5 speed, whatever is fine.

[TCP21]

Sweet. i am going to try and get off work to make it up there

[Peete]

So would a race flyer.

I'm out, not enough info to commit.

[TCP21]

cant get off work. so i am out

[Thacker]

I had planned to be there but not going to be able to make it unfortunatly...hope everyone has fun...deffinitly making the next one...

[profro]

I'd definitely be there if I hadn't made the commitment to go back to Snowshoe for some riding. I'll be at the next one.

[T-Pirate]

I'll roll. I'm in heavy debt so I don't think I can be racing, but I'll show up anyway. I'll be taking/selling (good) race pictures so hit me up and help a brotha out!

[jonnynails]

I'm down. Not much of a slalom racer, but I'd like a bike park there next year so I'm rounding up some folks and I'll probably race for the heck of it.

So Ryan whats up with the course? Is it straight up dual slalom all the way down, or what? Any course highlights? Big jumps? grassy turns? :clue:

[mbrp07]

Steep start shoot into hip, into double, into flat grass turn, into double, into flat grass turn, into berm, into flat grass, into step up, into berm, into berm, into double, into berm, into berm, into berm, into double, into double= finish line. whew! i think that is all of it. A good 300+ feet.

[mbrp07]

[motomike]

Sounds awesome! I love grass turns!
