Matt,
You seem to be in the know in regards to Keystone. I was wondering do you know if they will be adding any desperately needed trails to the mountain this season?

[Matt Sutton]

Yes, We are going to start building a DH trail at the end of June.

s-weet does anyone know if this is the same course as the MSC race last year?

[sweatyrussell]

The course is different. A lot more dirt work. Should be cool.

[Motionboy2]

Is there any way that there will be a rain delay on this one?

[GravityPilot]

Hardtail or dully for the 4X? Oh ya, is the 4X through NORBA, I only ask cuz my license is expired.

[big boy]

I wish that I could race. I am going to be there but the doctor says I cant race because I tore the tendon out of my leg in Angle Fire when my bottom bracket broke.

[kdog-rider]

Thats to bad you cant race. Will you take some video/pictures if I bring my camera?

[Motionboy2]

So, how was it?

[COmtbiker12]

So, how was it?
I'm surprised there havent been pics posted yet...

[stringcheese]

I went on saturday for some much needed practice, but there were only like 3 or 4 other bikers there. Hell, there were more mountainboarders on the course than bikers. I didn't end up racing yesterday, but what happened to that 180 degree bermless turn? Did they fix it up at all?

[kdog-rider]

They didn't fix the turn, it sucked. There wern't to many people, no more than 30.

[dowend]

I was there on Saturday. The course was pretty poor.

The DH riding was great though :thumb: !

Oh ya, a season pass is $225. If you plan on going up more then 8 days it's worth getting.

where was this? I could not find it

[flatulant_man]

thought i was right, but maybe it's just me. i had heard there was an MSC 4-cross race at Keystone on labor day. Handlebar and Grill doesn't have it listed in the series that weekend. someone help me out here.

[big boy]

Keystone looked OK. There were too many bermless turns and not enough big jumps. If there is a MSC race there Ill be happy
