rode it today...it's fun and juicy ;) :D

We are not renting the use of an ems team to be at the bottom of the trail all day just to make you feel that you are really in an extreme sport. If anyone gets hurt and needs help we will use the 9-1-1 method, the one we all knew since we were little.



We rented a hearse instead

Hey guys i just wanted to say that today was AWESOME indeed. I was about to stress out yesterday when thinking about all of the logistics of the race but things went rather smoothly today with the exception of the two trees that randomly fell across the course 5 minutes before the race started.

The weather actually turned out to be decent.. started out cold, actually snowed for a short time, and then it got sunny and the course for the most part was fairly decent.

I dont have the exact number but we had about 80 racers today which is our biggest crowd yet.
I will be putting up the times on our website some time in the first part of this week so just keep checking it.

I would like to thank all those in ClemsonFreeride for a job well done. The course was AWSOME!!! Thanks again for all your hard work, you guys rock!

[Jeremy R]

I just want to thank you guys for putting it on.
Anybody who has ever promoted or help promote a race knows how much goes into it.
The turnout was damn good, and it would have been way better if it was not for the rain and the diamond nippled wind.:twitch:
I liked this course a little better than the old one as well.
Good job on the race!

[Mike Fitz]

Thanks agian Clemson Freeride... that was hell of a lot of funn.

[Murphy's Law]

Just a quick thanks to the Clemson boys for putting on another great race to start off another season. awesome course changes from last year, thanks for putting them in to really showcase how much more out of shape i really am! hahahahaha weather wasn't that bad, a lil cold...got confused when it was snowing while i was in south carolina:shocked: but all in all, another great race. Thanks guys, can't wait for the next one!!!!

[FCLinder]

Great job guys!!! I do like the course much better than the last. Plus the Jump was fun!!!!

[demolition dave]

Serious good times! Thanks guys! :clapping:

[manimal]

I was in and out of bed sick and with sick kids and a massive chest cold and felt like turds. Then I got there, saw everyone else hacking a lung and Matt sucking Halls cough drops off his tool box (literally)..and just shut up and rode.

Great time!! My lips are chafed and I got the heck off the couch and rode some fun turns. Thanks for the Red Bulls...I whizzed on a tree after the race and it started dancing from all the taurine!

[So-EastMatt]

let me explain: I had a cough drop in my mouth but I wanted to eat my chicken biscuit. I didn't want to loose my cough drop so I just spit it out onto the lid of my tool box, and then my gloves were all dirty and I didn't want to get dirt all over my cough cough drop so I just picked it up off the lid of my tool box with my teeth! What a fun race though! I'm way sicker now, but it was well worth it, Great race!

[Bushwhacker]

^^^^ What all they said X 2. What great course to to get back started DHing again. I'm with Murphy on the being out of shape thing, I sucked some serious wind. If the Clemson crew puts another race on, my old azz will be there for sure, great trail, location, vibe and group of people. Well done.

[Gunnar75]

To all who put this together, it was a great season opener and look forward to more good times. Thanks Clemson Freeride!:clapping:

[OB1]

I would hate if every course was the same. This is definetly different! The pedaling separated the men from the coughing up blood men.:redface: Tons of fun...GREAT course design/work. All your efforts paid off Clemson Freeride!! Thank for a good time....now take the money off the night stand, and I'll see you next time.:beerjam:

[ridiculous]

Great work guys, keep it up. The newpaper article was amazing and hilarious. The race went off with out a hitch. The new trail was nice, even in the mud it held together and drained well. Those of us from baltimore appologize for bringing our weather with us. See you this summer, check out the forum for the summer trip stuff.

[Freeinwnc]

Props to the Clemson Freeride crowd! Awesome course! Cant wait for next year!!!!

[Dogboy]

Big props to the Clemson crew! The course was a blast and the race went off without a hitch. It was my first time down and I'll definitely be back. I couldn't believe how well the course held up considering the weather. Thanks again from the cental NC posse.

yeah but i can hide in the woods, you can only blend in at a celtic festival.

[JeffD]

LOL...touche' Tubbs, touche'. See you (when not hiding in woods) at Massanutten.

[Jeremy R]

See you (when not hiding in woods) at Massanutten.

Unless it is breezy or if the weatherman calls for a slight chance of mist, then you will stay home.:rofl::rofl:

Ha, you were my motivation in getting ready for Clemson.
Remember last year at the fall race you said I was making animal noises over the gap jump, I was so out of breath.:monkeydance:

[JeffD]

Exactly, I feel one drop of mist I'm calling my %^&*ing union rep about that sh*t.

And you're welcome for the motivation, although I don't remember the comment. I do however remember you getting a lucky dead sailor right into a perfect landing over the gap one run.
