This is to let you know that the course is COMPLETE. If any changes are done you may be subject to disqualification from the race. If you have any questions or concerns pm me.

if the course is complete where are all the landings for the jumps? while that may be one of the best dh courses in texas it needs A LOT of work

[dirtyj]

My wife got a shot of you and I posted it on moho ->here (http://www.bikemojo.com/speak/showthread.php?t=26040&page=2)
It was taken from a sequence of 4 or 5 shots. I have the unedited digital versions if you want them.

that would kick ass....

[Jimmy_Pop]

an urban-downhill course in austin as part of the Texas series would be kewl! i dont know Austin very well so i dont know if there is such a line to be developed.

[igotabike]

tmbra says comfort is the only official dh race in texas. i dont think its right to have only 1 race to determine a champ but until we can form a good dh scene here in texas thats the way it has to be. if any of you have seen a real world cup course then you know comfort and kerrville are just xc courses

[northshorerat]

we did have a good scene, then it just went away. kelly creek was the only dh race and it is historically won by a hardtail.

[Mr Big]

i would like to add.
if anybody wants to comment about the course please do so. it will help more that you know

here goes:

1. Flow

2. some alternate lines that if you can do them (they may be harder) they are faster and help maintain speed

3. Flow

4. backsides to jumps and bigger jumps

5. Flow

6. Berms in a couple areas to maintain speed

7. Flow

........XC rider.

then again, Sager is proving himself to be a world-class XC rider.

would be a step in the right direction.

[profro]

here's an idea...pack your bags and move to a state with mountains. :eek:

DH scene in Texas??? Maybe you can add the Kansas dh races to your Texas/Arkansas series. :rolleyes:

I think you should concentrate on dual slolam, freeride stuff, or MTNx and just head to New Mexico for the DH stuff.
