I agree,I just hope that TBB does not have anything to do with this event as it is one of my Favorites of the year. Everything that they touch turns to S%$T!
come to the US Open. i bet it'll have a better turnout of top pros anyway.guess i won't be hitting the US Open this year. bummer... first year i was gonna race it...& now i can't
Maybe. Maybe not.come to the US Open. i bet it'll have a better turnout of top pros anyway.
...umm, not really (you'll have to wait for the TBB press release for all the details). Frost and Tom were trying to do the best they could with what they had.you mean they actually listening to their members.
"A balloon powered by happiness"?!?!I agree,
Yeah this is good move for the national series, but unfortunately all it really does upfront for the MSC Chile Challange is taint its name by attaching Norba National to it.
Last year this race had 415 DH competitors as nothing more then a regional MSC event. I hope TBB isn't involved, and they better not get any reward/credit when this event ends up being huge.
It'll count towards both series. We may have to do a bit of breaking out to make the categories line up exactly, but if that ends up being the case, it'll be done with a degree of anal-retentiveness that would garner smiling approval from a Euro Klein road-bike owner.Will it continue to count as a MSC race too? Like we will get MSC points AND NORBA points?
In my opinion it's a really good move. It will be one of the best if not the best NORBA DH tracks in a while, not even to mention how superior the 4x is compared to anything norba had last season.
Still very confusing how they change it every other week...
what, come on now.... what is wrong with geting 2 hours a day of practice from 8am to10am if you are a pro.... that is soooooo getting your moneys worth. oster_oops:I hope that since it isn't a XC, SD, marathon NORBA the practice times won't be adjusted to little or none. That would suck for you guys.
yeah, it would be so cool to see nats on a track i cut out, well at least the top section.does anyone have any idea when they might start running the lifts? think they might be running wednesday or thursday ?
It will be cool as long as they run the old alpha course, not the watered down UCI track. Dont get me wrong, i love them all. I just wanna see the pros suffer Alpha like we have for all these years. LOL.
Whos TBB? It has a new promoter this year, BigFoot Productions, my cousin Eric sold his company (Cycle Cyndicate) to Yeti cycles and moved back home to Michigan.I agree,

Hey MIKE...There my Cousins. Now I need a new sponser....HINT.... I'm racing in Washington State. I blame him for my addiction now... I have 3 Downhill bikes and a XC bike."A balloon powered by happiness"?!?!
Credit will go where it's due. You guys are too well-informed for it to go down any other way. And if the event's a huge success it should go to Eric and Pamela - for years of schlepping their family around and working long hours in the name of kick-a$$ racing.
Has anyone checked out the schedule? The damn race is on Monday. I get the fact that it is a holiday and most people have it off but Monday? Practice starts on WED and runs through Monday on what looks like a NORBA practice schedule(2 hours). This totally tossed my plans for this race, I guess I was ignorant for not assuming the race was on Monday??!?!

Start talking! The Monday thing is a bit whack, who knows if I'll be able to take it off of work . . .Event schedule is subject to change due to any of, but not limited to, the following reasons: rider feedback, scheduling conflict, gloomy horoscope or promoter's tyrannical whim. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
I am pretty sure its a national holiday that mondaywho knows if I'll be able to take it off of work . . .
None more whack than the Keystone DH being held on a Monday. I for one am STOKED that Chile is being held over a 3-day weekend, it'll make racing DH, 4X, and Super-D actually possible and not so stressful.Start talking!
