I'm Grosariu Stefan from Cluj Napoca Romania, and this year I will help the organizers of the 2013 dirt juming contest with a cablecam, but we-re a bit short on cash to buy the rc controls+electronics, so i made a rockethub campaign on which you can contribute with any amount if you have some. Thanks, and happy riding.

I haven't left it in the sun for stupid amounts of time and have never had it happen to much older tires.

Maybe the Aussie distributor has had stock that isn't selling as quickly as it previously did, not sure, has anyone else had it happen? ]]> Downhill HardtailHack http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/f19/minion-dhf-perishing-after-3-4-months-anyone-else-had-happen-259180/ http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/f2/saturday-gee-em-tee-259179/ Sat, 25 May 2013 11:32:18 GMT Morning.

What's this last-minute annoucement you say?
A little ski hill down the road was looking for some summer events- so we're going to make some happen.

Sprint Enduro Race Format:
It is a well established fact that if you put "Sprint" in front of any word, it makes it coooooler.


-3 intense ~two-minute mostly gravity powered stages on the mountain, a mixture of fresh'n'raw singletrack through glades, work road grunts and high-speed open slope cornering. You will pedal hard, I mean, if you want to win.

-Scot Trials (obstacle course timetrial)

-Dual Slalom under the lights.

Cumulative points from timed stages , Scot Trials and DS finishing will determine overall results.

Yes, you will have to pedal or push to the top of the hill. It's not that big. There isn't going to be a time cut.

The right bike for this event? Probably one of those fancy-pants full-suspension bikes with 120-160mm of travel.
I'll race my hardtail, because I'm HARDCORE.

If Sprint Enduro isn't for you- you can just enter the DS-

Dual Slalom Race Format:
Grass, gates, berms, jumps- head to head on two parallel courses.

Double elimination: one run on each course per competitor per round, a 3rd run breaks ties
Dual slalom is fun, fast and you can race it on any functioning bike with knobby tires and two brakes!

We'll have a bar and grill open at the bottom of the hill, a band or two.
Kids DS race will be $5

There's going to be a gnarly disc golf course toooooooooooo! ]]> Downhill SuspectDevice http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/f19/sprint-enduro-june-1-keene-nh-259173/ http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/f19/sinister-r9-iscg-mounts-259172/ Fri, 24 May 2013 18:20:07 GMT Old, or ISCG05?

Gearing up for ProGRT Downhill Race

We're working overtime getting geared up for next weekend's BIG ProGRT DH race here at Plattekill. The course is being prepped, tweeked, raked and dialed for the event. We just finished the finish line area and added an all new bridge take off as an alternative to years past wallride.

This race is gonna be a GOOD ONE! Pro/Cat1/Cat 2 will all share the same course with several "optional" go around sections and the Cat 3 (beginners) will have their own separate easier run from the top...don't miss it! Next weekend. Plattekill ProGRT. Race Sunday May 26. Mountain open for rec riding/race practice Thursday May 23 thru Monday (Memorial Day Holiday) May 27.
