- Thread starter MikeT
- Start date
Just got the heads up flyer from Terry. I wonder if this is a missprint? Saturday April 19th? Dual and MX???? Its got to be b/c april 19th is on a Monday. I hope its not May 3rd b/c then I can't make the DS/mx race.

april 19th & may 3rd + THC = may 1st & 2nd
i assume that is where the mistake was made.

BLLLLAAAAAAHHHH!!!
Crap.... spit my mt. dew all over the monitor....thru my nose!
The 4X course is all new with a hint of the old layout. Its definatly going to be fast.............nice work T & Gang! I might skip the rent this month and get me a 4x bike now....
DS/4X on Sat
DH on SUN..........right?
Gotta second Mike's request for confirmation on the dates...The ACS Health Mangament site hasn't been updated, so reliable info. is at a premium...Sounds like the DH race is on Sunday? Anybody know anything about the 'AM course'? I've heard it's pretty short, but wasn't sure how tech it was...
Btw, if the DH race is on Sunday, when do you get in your practice runs? Just wondering...

I would say its a fair bet you will be paying 25 for each disipline you sign up for, sometimes they will cut a deal if you do more than one disipline but they usually state that on the flyer.
Normally, yes, but they may discount the second race. That's been known to happen. My son and I are racing so maybe a family discount?
Sorry guys but the dates are in fact May 1-2. Everything else on the flyer is correct.
The race fee is $25 for each event (XC, DH, MX), junior $20. The DS will be $15 and will only be expert and sport classes. The DJ contest will only be $5 and Maxxis will sport the prizes for it.
All racers will have to have a NORBA license or puchase a one-day for $5.
How did you get it to take the flyer, b/c i could not earlier.

Terry all I did was shrink it down a bit. I know I will be there for the DH but I'm probably going to miss the 4x.

Terry,
Still wondering about practice runs for the DH race...Maybe Sunday morning? Or is Friday the best and/or only time to run the course? I've never seen the course before, so I want to keep my embarrassing crashes to a minimum

I have a picture of a jackalope.....is a "doe", but its a doe-jackalope.......behold....no photoshop work on this.....
I would say once XC is over the DH should be open for practice.... thats how it has worked in previous years.
what AMBC race is that??

I'm sharpening up my elbows for the MX as we speak:devil:
We will mark off the DH after XC awards.
After that ride away!

May 2: SE Regional Championship Series, Ducktown, TN AMBC race
I thought there used to be a rule of so many working gears but when i look now i only see the requirement for 2 working brakes so you may be fine. There are no bike inspections so unless you win and someone is a prick noone will ever say anything. Ive seen people do each of their DH runs on different bikes and the rules state the that a rider must finish a race on the same bike he started on. Ive never seen anyone make a big deal of it though. In short i wouldnt worry about it much.
If you rode the XC trail you probably rode most of the DH trail.
It's kind of hard to describe but there is a water tower on top of a hill in the woods right in the middle of the campus. You can drive/ride the dirt road up to the tower. That is the start of the DH course.
Here is a rough map "SOUTH PARK style"......will be there Saturday just ask around.

That is the single worst piece of mapping ive ever had the misfortune to lay my eyes on.:devil:
Thanks for the info guys. I thought some of the trail looked like it may have been the downhill course. I thought about racing but considering I haven't been into riding that long I don't know if I will or not. If I do, what kind of gear will I need to wear? I'm assuming a full face helmet and some knee/shin protection. Would motocross gear work well for this? But then again I'll probably just bring my camera out and take lots of pictures.
neaky:Thats high tech (advance visualization labatory high tech) my man!
Just turn by the tree go fity feet and turn sharp left at the moss!
Hell, if you were a chick I'd say show up in a bikini like they all do
If you wear elbow and knee/shin guards you'll be fine. Nothing on the course that could really hurt you except the rocks at the finish. And even then I don't think anyone's been carted off in a meat wagon.
......almost everything has a bypass or is rollable. If you just watched you'd be kicking yourself in the ass afterwards!
Its just fun
Exactly!
Rode the courses again yesterday. The step-up is finished and I tried that. I wouldn't call it the best looking jump on my part, but I think it will keep me close enough during the race. I really like what that course has to offer. I just wish it was a little smoother.
I think i saw you there yesteday... I was on the DH course most of the morning but i brought my black AS-X over to the MTX course to play for a bit.
Ahh :heart:how nice.....:devil:
You doin MTX Cabover?
No way... i couldnt get that damn bike over the jumps.
I saw some "mystery rider" ...no shirt...no helmet.....on a 3ring Giant Hardtail and xc fork clearing everything like it was'nt dudu! Tripleing into the 5pack top section after landing backside of the step up.
