haha yes! i did the exact same thing a few years ago with a buddy and it was a good 90 minutes or so until we finally ended up on route 66. it was by far the most fun i've ever had while being lost. tons of potential with that area.oh god, I got lost in the birdland area for a long time with some friends and it took forever to get out. we eventually bushwhacked out to the golf course and around. confusing as hell. GOOD terrain in there though
Me too...just gearing myself up for another great race and just wondering how the course was going to shake out.Talked to Brad the other day about dirt bikes and he mentioned that he was watching and listening to the feedback on here as he had time. I don't have particulars but he said it was going to be better. Sounds good to me!
I heard a rumor that there was going to be a hamster wheel, flaming loop and a gap over a punji pit. There will also be ninjas in the woods shooting ice blow darts into tires.
Too funny.... You always had the 10-20 sec. excuse of "having" to go around the road gap! HahahaGood stuff. That will both save me the embarrassment of comparing my times against the pros and provide for some awesome spectating.
Just wanted to mention that I prefer sport courses that have the option to hit the bigger expert features if you want to or not. Sport/WW is usually a very competitive class with lots of good riders who could handle most features. e.g., would've been nice if we'd had the option to try the road gap last time. But I understand the liability and why it was closed. (not that I would've hit it in the wet. if the race had been dry like Sat., I might've done it)hope you guys still want some technical. finalizing plans right now but, looks like we're going to have a pro/am - weekend warrior/intro split half way down. going to be different and fun either way.
Yes, I understand that, which is why I said "I understand...why it was closed." Guess I am a strange mix of riding skill - haven't raced in 6 years but have been chucking myself off big stuff for a long time, so I'm comfortable with bigger gaps/drops/etc...but still working up to race pace.Thats the difference between sport and am and pro. Pros didn't try to hit the road gap.
What we don't need during practice is a bunch of lesser skilled riders trying to hit lines when faster guys are fully committed. Bad mixture.
Umm, mud?Is it hardpack or loam now?
Umm, mud?
Calling for scattered showers toward the end of the week and rain saturday night.
how can it be a liability... when u go down to just ride, that road gap is open to everyone... i dont get it... i hit that gap in the mud for about 10 riders on the sunday mornings practice... and i wasnt allowed to in my race run.. its bsJust wanted to mention that I prefer sport courses that have the option to hit the bigger expert features if you want to or not.
