But then again – Mike made it look easy

 

[BIGHIT8989]

ARRGHHH! I want to race ! supid so-Cal band tour:mumble:

Are we alloud to go out there to just ride the course ?

 

[Raacerx]

[Brian HCM#1]

Looks fun, I can't wait to show off my slowness

 

[sanjuro]

[alloutproductio]

This pic got posted here a few weeks ago. I saw it in a SF art exhibit a couple of years ago, and they make me chuckle.

I agree. Intersting take on the course there at the bottom of the G-Out. I don't know about that being a slow time though. Seems like a 2:15 or so ain't too shabby. Check out the 2004 results. (Can't use 2005 since it was such a wash out with the rain and all.)

 

[alloutproductio]

i guess you guys'll just have to come out n see what
you can do!
but yeah, the course's a little longer than previous years,
more turns n berms...
betcha 5 bucks you cant beat mikey!

 

[santacruzer87]

when can I get in some early practice?


-Ryan

 

[santacruzer87]

P.C. (post comment) he was slower than Wideopen last year

 

[alloutproductio]

hey checkitout you guys,
had to throw a beat over it,
couldnt resist....

Haha, all I know is I have Brian in my class. Guarantees I won't be last...hehe...just playing bro. It'll be good to see everyone again up there this year.

I'm really liking the new berms up top this year. Looks super fun. Surprising how beat down the very last berm is now. We built such a kick ass one there last year...

oh yes, let the smack talk begin

yeah, they havent done any work at all on that last section....should
be all good after next diggy session tho....

 

[surfinguru]

Haha! Na, just a little ribbing. I've seen Brian up there the last two years and up at N* a few times. He's a good bloke. Knowing my luck, I'll probably blow a brake line again, wind up with front brakes only and go OTB 6 times like I did my first race out there.

 

[mtbikermark]

I haven't done Carnegie before but I've heard it's a blast. The course dosen't look like it's too technical. Would I be fine on my Heckler?

Probably. It's bumpy with ruts but I've seen people there on hardtails or short-travel frames. You'll have fun on the Heckler.

That bike will be fine, you don't need a big travel bike on that course.

 

[Heath Sherratt]

Big bikes help smooth out the rough for sure, last year everyone on the podium I believe was on a big bike. I rode my prophet and had a blast. A little more travel would have been nice though. H

 

[alloutproductio]

yeah, there's really not too much pedaling on the course at all,
some rough chop -- big bike best......

 

[Heath Sherratt]

The weather looks hit or miss...I hope for beautiful sunny skies.

It's bumpy with ruts but I've seen people there on hardtails or short-travel frames.

A few years ago I went by there just to check it out, and they had a hardtail division. This guy was coming down the g-out hill on his hardtail and blew up his rear tire. As he was heading toward the jump at the bottom of the hill, I heard him say something like "oh, what the hell". He proceeded to ride the rest of the course (including the jump, the rock garden, and everything) with the rear tire flopping around off the rim. It was hilarious!

That's awesome. At Northstar I was hanging out near the finish line of a race and once in a while you'd hear the flop-flop-flop of someone riding on a flat.

And there's that one shot in Hypnosis where a guy (in Vermont I think?) is racing on a bare rim.

 

[santacruzer87]

yea....there was also a shot of Jared Graves, he hits a rock or something and his tire rips in half, even the bead tore...aftre the shot you hear him say...."yeah I've been experimenting with lower tire pressures recently."


about the Heckler thing, I'd ride a bigger bike, personally I want more suspension as that course has some pretty serious whoops from all the motos.

 

[santacruzer87]

Imagine slightly smaller versions of the braking drops in snowmass, but hardpacked

 

[Heath Sherratt]

It's fun trying to turn the "whoops" into sections of doubles and such.

 

[PatBranch]

I will be there on my hardtail. Will there be a HT class this year? How long is the biggest jump? It's hard to tell from that.

 

[BIGHIT8989]

yeah, there's really not too much pedaling on the course at all,

but if you really want to go fast hand go for the win or podium. Pedaling is a very good idea.

 

[Heath Sherratt]

Winning is WAY overrated. Competition is where it's at. Do your best with a smile the whole while. That's what I'm talking about. Winning is for losers.:trophy_br

Tru that ! but ya gotta admit it feels pretty good to get a spot on the poduim

 

[Backpack1]

thanks for posting the vid! stoked to feel the butterflies at the start gate after being out of Mid-Pack Sport Racing, Inc. for well over a year!!!! Damn I forgot about those butterfiles 10 seconds....5.4.3.2.1. AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!

My Bullit was stolen for 11 months but I found it on Craigslist and recovered it....the vintage Turner DHR I was cobbling together is only 80% done, so I'm set! Sucks that I will be in Fast Old Farts NEXT YEAR.....that hurts. that really hurts. Anyway I still be rollin up in a scraper smokin purps and pounding Tecate 24s. Have a good race errrrbuddy!

where is this. and is it open to the public. i just cant find any really good trails

 

[black noise]

It's just south of Livermore, in the Corral Hollow valley. It's actually an area for dirt bikers and atvers, but bikes can go there too if you watch out for dirt bikes.

meh close enough, they look the same when they're bikin'

Oh, MAN! It feels amazing! But it feels that much better when you do it just shooting for personal goals. It's like it's a surprise when you win and my joi is always really authentic when I win like that as compared to when I try to win, I expect it and act as if I deserve to. Which makes me grumpy when I lose, or even get second. Winning sucks. Doing your best and landing in the top spot rules!
