Here are some pics of the curved wallride Cowan is building.

The same drop in? Is the curved wallride in place of the quarter pipe transfer? Are they reusing the step up into the woods, hip, and jump out along with the other step up and final drop? You competing Joel?

The wallride takes the place of the quarterpipe... That crap into the trees is gone... The step up/stepdown will be used but configured a little different. There will be a quarterpipe after you land the stepdown...

I dunno if I'm competing or not yet.

The course will be quite different this year... big dj's but also an option for the big bike guys to hit a drop line instead.

The first drop is 3'lower too.

Lower huh? Interesting. Thats cool there will be options this year. Time for some huck huck gnar gnar to go down.

It's still 17' so it's a big one still. There will also be an option to not roll the rock part and start below it from a platform.

[FrontRangeDH]

Thats good, you couldnt go slow enough off it last year...well while still making it past the road as Jason demonstrated when he guinead it

[joelalamo45]

That was awesome when he dumped that straight to his feet and walked away!

[FrontRangeDH]

That was something! Hopefully that thing will be a bit more trickable this year. And hopefully no sprinting to get through the course.

From what Cowan is saying, it looks like the course heads downhill quite a bit more this year. I sure hope so. All I have is a 7" bike that doesn't pedal so well.

THats what I rode last year and it was awful! I got a 3.5 inch and 5.5 inch for this year. Thanks for the updates Joel. Now I just hope my back isnt broken...getting it check this weekend :(

[joelalamo45]

You hurt your back?

Hey do you ride bmx too? Trying to figure out who you are. I'm assuming you are one of the Fix guys. Are you the guy who pinned it through the final step-down and over shot it on your first try?

[FrontRangeDH]

Yup, that'd be me, bent the steerer on my fork! I am one of the fix guys and started trying to ride 20's this winter.

Sessums was the first to do it? I saw the picture but someone must of done it before he got there other wise damn.

[joelalamo45]

No one hit it before he did... He rolled it super slow and had to bail off...
