Nada, but most of the team will be and in our new threads! (finally)
Although I am back on the bike, I am not up to race ability, still going to wait until Winthrop but my girl and I will be there for sure.

I'll be there with trailhacker on Saturday doing the xc race.
I'm going to bring both bikes so after I walk the course I might get some balls and race the DH too.

I'll be there but the WSU group won't be as big this race as last, something about college costing a lot (I don't know what they're talking about)
i'm signed up and ready to go. i just need to get a little time on my big bike this week before i go. i was feeling a little uncomfortable yesterday on it since i've been riding my hardtail all month.
Okay okay, I'll go. 
*Achoo!*
Sorry, spent all weekend in the dust of my clubs desert race..... Got to ride a little bit and help pull downed out bikes through a river on Sunday. It was dry and dusty......
ANyone know if Beacon is real dry yet?

66 and I were up there this weekend and it was a bit dusty. There were quite a few people up there. It was a good time.
Oh and I am in for Beacon.

im so there..
Not this time around. Sorry you'all. I will be at Winthrop.
i'm going to check it out, i never have been before, and am looking fwd to trying my skills at a DH race. anyone else riding a hardtail?
ill be there!
im registered and goin. hopefully ill be in good enough shape to be able to pedal the whole course this time 
all be there for my first race!
Sweet! It is a fun venue. Good times to be had for sure.
Rhino
Yeah, I'll be there, albeit sandbagging in the Sport class. I think it'll be my only NORBA race this year, and it's just not worth the $$ for the annual license to race Expert once. Unethical, maybe, but to compensate, I've been working hard at not riding my bike. Should be about right.
I'll be there too.
Hey DHRacer - how's the collarbone? When do you think you can ride again? See ya at Beacon.

You don't have to buy an annual lisence to race expert this year. But if you want your points to count towards the final...you do.
Freak and I will be there with my mom in tow 
After Freak breaking his arm at Beacon last year I never thought she'd want to watch us race again

Allsk8sno and I will be there is a camera and hanging out. If all goes well in the job dept we will be at the other races, RACING!
Hey Five, it's okay... it's still sore at times, especially in the mornings. and there's this funky pain in my Trazepius muscle that runs down behind my shoulder into the Deltoid
i go back to the docs on the 26th for more xrays and if everything looks okay, talk about PT. i still have a couple of tennisball size numb spots on my spine, no feeling there at all. and overall the muscles of my back and ribs are still a little sore sore. They told me that my back would take the longest to heal... i didn't believe them at first, but i'm a believer now! hahaha.as for riding/racing... i'm shooting for Chelan at the earliest... but realistically, i'm thinking probably more liek Squilchuck.
:devil: I'll be there. Can't wait!
I'll talk to them at registration. I just don't want to pay an extra $50 for one race. Open class may work too (I can take an ass kicking!)
It will be great to see you again Carrie!
oh man i'm so ready for this one.....i still won't have a big bike to ride but i'm going to keep rockin the DH HT SS to the max
This is from the round and round site....
"If you are a PRO or EXPERT or wish to contend for the regional, state or national championships you must have an annual license.? Annual licenses are $50 for adults and $35 for juniors 18 and under.? All WIM registration fees are an additional $5 for riders not holding an annual NORBA license."
Sooo, yeah, it looks like you'll need a full lisence to race expert. I think that goes against NORBAs policy, bit not sure. More research
Nope, R&R is correct. If you race Expert or Pro you have to have a annual license...no one days for Expert and above.Originally posted by PsychO!1

unless you have a 20 year old huffy 10 speed, DUI style, you are fine. if that's the setup, maybe go around the big splats.Originally posted by TurkeyJerkey

that said, what do you have?
i have a Specialized FSR Extreme, w/ a Judy fork
what are the levels to enter in?
like is rec sport pro?
add a helmet and you are set.
for the cats, they break down like this. man-woman, beginner-sport-expert-pro, 18 and under-19to29 - 30to39 - 40to49 - 50+. then there is Open, and HT.
just go out, pick the sex you like, your age and beg or sport. you will have a good time.

Any input on whether an annual liscence is needed to race Open class?? I wouldn't think so, but ya never know...
