Hey Mike, any changes to the DS course? Did you fix that step up?
Also, will there be the official Maxxis Ghetto Gate or will we do foot down starts?

Here are some sneak photo's of the course, although they are over a week old.

Very nice...I haven't ridden at Hobby in a couple years, and I'm trying to get oriented by the pics. Is the course located off to the right of the RC car track (as you're standing on top of the hill)?

Ok Mike, it really doesn't look like a ghetto gate. You'll have to work a little harder next time to make it look that way.

Riders ready. Watch the gate. BEEP BEEP BEEEEP!NCBikingJim said:

Just a couple of comments about the gate.
It will be virtually impossible to balance on it if the ground is level behind it and if the gate is pointing straight up.

That should teach you to watch what you wish for. :nuts:
sweet! gate looks nice mike. don't listen to peete about the gate though...it's not like he's a BMX groupie or something
the pics don't really do it justice.
mike...are we gonna have to stay in one lane the whole time or is it gonna be open format once out of the woods? it'll be nearly impossible for some of us to stay in one lane after practicing it w/out lane preference for so long
here's an action pic of the jump out of the woods...to give it some perspective. it's been tweaked a little bit since this pic was taken but not much.

Suck it up Tubs. It's not like we're racing for donuts.manimal said:mike...are we gonna have to stay in one lane the whole time or is it gonna be open format once out of the woods? it'll be nearly impossible for some of us to stay in one lane after practicing it w/out lane preference for so long
ink: BMX groupie? Well some of the elite women are hot. :heart:
The only time I look forward to Monday is if we are going to a BMX national.
Much different atmosphere than an MTB race.

yeah....much fewer mullets and pink pants at the mtb races is your oldest son gonna spank up on the DS course this time?
i wanna get w/ you at hobby and ask you a few questions about the BMX thing. gonna get my son racing next season....he's finally figured out how to pull up when jumping now and he's actually getting off the ground on some of the small jumps i'm building him. i think he'll be ready for the 4-5 yr olds next year.
Watch out guys, you never know, you might be racing for some Krispy Kreme donuts.

That's great news about your son.
I have a frame and some parts you might be interested in. Let me know what size clothes he wears, we might have some of Adam's hand me downs he can have.
Also if you plan on "fitting in" with the rest of the BMX dads I can loan you one of my wife beaters with spaghetti stain and an ABA hat to wear to NBL races and an NBL hat to wear to ABA races.
Krispy Kreme is pre-race food. We race for who's paying for the buffet afterwards.NCBikingJim said:Watch out guys, you never know, you might be racing for some Krispy Kreme donuts.

Mike, I forgot to take some pictures of the changes to the starting gate this morning. I'll try to get some Tuesday and post on here for everyone to see.
went and rode some today....it was dry enough to ride but still damp enough to make it hard to maintain speed. joe and JD did some good work out there, smoothing out the 4-pack and adding some dirt to the double in the woods. thanks 
Where did they add dirt? the take off or landing?manimal said:and adding some dirt to the double in the woods. thanks
