I posted something about this in The South, but I figured everyone here would appreciate the pictures at least. Hopefully some of you in the general area will consider coming out.

Dirty Bird Race Productions was started by four friends who have a passion for riding bikes, building trails, and promoting the off road cycling community in the High Country of NC and Beyond.

This year we are hosting a 3 race series at Hawksnest resort in Seven Devils, NC.

June 5-6
Aug 21-22
Hawk-o-ween Oct 30-31

For those of you unfamiliar with Hawksnest, it was formerly a ski resort, but now operates as a snow tubing park and zipline course. Hawksnest resort is in Seven Devils, NC, in the northwestern mountains of the state. Last year we built a really nice downhill track with a lot of tight berms, big jumps, and plenty of classic WNC rocks and roots. This year we plan to offer a different track for each race, beginning with the original track on June 5-6. A shuttle system and professional timing will be provided. Cash payout for pros. If you're interested in more information, visit www.dirtybirddh.com or check us out on facebook (dirty bird race productions).

Also, discounted pre-registration is available through paypal this year. Information is available on our website.

Good stuff Mueller.
Just want to add that WindRock is a few hours away so if you live far away and want to double-stack destinations on the same trip , a Hawksnest race and WindRock is a hell of a good time.

Good call Loo, that would make a helluva road trip to the south. Polar opposite trails but both are sick!

Wife took me on thre 9 A.M. shuttles in the pouring rain this morning as prep for the weekend. I couldn't find any dirt the consistency of a 3 Muskateers bar though. I think you should call the poop shoot after the last woods berm leading down to the trips "Nooget".
