Is anyone else enjoying the irony that a thread regarding U.S. COLLEGIATE nationals is more fraught with seplling and grammatical errors than anything since Pinkbike circa 1998?

I think it'll be a frieking blast!!! Cannot wait for Nats. Good work Chris and everyone else who participated with the build!!!
Morewood Bikes will be up there.
We should have a couple of rental bikes that you can ride for about $50 a day.
Plus a couple of things to check out.

I am thinking of racing downhill and XC is college. I haven't done any DH races before. I have done some really laid back XC "races" and did pretty well. I was just wondering, like how serious are the races? My friend who goes to Penn State and one at CU-Boulder said anyone can do them and there are different skill levels from beginner to expert. He said college is the best place to start racing. So what I am really asking is even though in college I will be beginner DH racer (I have ridden a lot of DH, just not racing) is it a good place to race, and is it pretty laid back and all. Cause to be honest, I will most likely get my ass kicked in a DH race. XC I think I will be okay at. Also what schools are best for MTB racing in the U.S.??
Thanks and sorry for all the questions!

^^If you want to go to college and race dh or xc you go to either App. State, Brevard, or Western Washington State....that's just my opinion. Although it is biased, it's also fairly accurate. These schools offer incredible places to ride and legit people to ride with. There are other schools that have been well known for their riding in the past few years that have good programs, but if you want an actual education, a legit school to have a real college experience at(whatever that is), and have good riding nearby, those are my top picks.
ummm...I think you forgot to name quite a few, including CU boulder, mines, fort lewis, etc,etc,etc,etc.
or just about any school. it also aitn exactly hard to start a team at a school...
nevada will be there.

Place your bet:
Who is gonna hold themselves together and stay off the booze longest to win the DH? Cannot vote for yourself!

You can race when you're handsome, don't kid yourself.
I've got bets on a couple different colleges in NC and CO doing pretty well. I think there will be some upsets and suprised people this year.

DH: Joey Schusler - This kid is the rowdiest rider I have ever ridden with and after yesterdays performance I think he will take the win, that's if he holds it together!
DS: Erik Nelson - World cup experience and his incredible work ethic will prove as a potent combination as he will destroy the field, just you wait!
DII: Needs love too!
School of mines will clean up this weekend with Turman(beast) winning best trick and DH. Deider will take the dual!!!
The overall rider will be awarded to Eli Krackenballs as he will compete in all events. Don't be surprised if he ends up on multible podiums both xc and DH!

Anyone interested in riding something other than sugar at some point this week should shoot me a pm, definitely would be a shame to be all the way out here in NC and not get to ride our local trails. 
As far as UVM is concerned Hickey graduated, as did Mr. America himself "slim" james patterson. For DH and slalom threats we are sending chris scannell and super-senior adam morse. The other two chumps are myself and garson fields.
Cant wait to go, never been before..see everyone there
Get Stoked.
Mmmm looks delicious!
Yes...yes!!!
I hate all of you, looks so much fun! I want to go and be the ultimate fanboy/shuttle driver.
just registered!
any more pics of the slalom?

it always rains at sugar....at least it's not monsooning for four days prior to the race
Whats funny is that it has been dry and is only going to be raining during the race weekend.
There is a video of it over on decline.
I can't remember any time in the past 8 years that there's been a race at sugar and it hasn't rained. At least it's not monsooning.
where's the sh!t talking people? we're college students, thats what we do...now get to it!
OK, CU rules and FLC drools! Deal wit it, beotchs!!!
So much school pride for only attending CU for about two months. Awesome!
Yeah, but it sucks. There is this one kid on there, Will Collins I believe. Major tool!
Back in my day the collegiate national champions was a basketball tournament. No fair, hell I didn't even know what a mountain bike was until my junior year. My first mountain bike was made of wood and all the trails were uphill in both directions.

I think I've seen him around once or twice wearing a nice green and black lumberjack coat! He's probably going to keep it unless you take that back!
Fine, I take it back. I will take it back along with my lumberjack coat! You jerk.I think I've seen him around once or twice wearing a nice green and black lumberjack coat! He's probably going to keep it unless you take that back!
