Is the second race really at Hood?
Fluidride #2
- Thread starter ryebread
- Start date
Not unless you go remove all the snow!
No, its still at Hood, I dont think they would change that. Im pretty sure they will be using a different course, something more of a Super D than a downhill, becuase of all the snowpack still there. So ive been hearing bring your 6 inch bikes. I'd say give FluidRide a call, they will fill you in on all the info.
hopefully they'll just run the bottom half, not all of us have super-D bikes!
Hopefully not Gov Camp!
is there a good place to stay down there?
or is camping the way to go...

They were supposed to make a decision, here soon, as it was told to me.
Ski Bowl is Gov Camp.
The first Race will be on the Bridle Trail!, bring your XC bike.

wow 430.oo for pre-reg. I'm assuming thats 30.00
6 in. bike? is the course comparable to Ashland DH then?
Experts need a norba license, do I need an ORBA one as well?

I understand the desire for diversity in course/venues, but I'd much rather race a legit dh course like PA one more time than ride the bridle trail. just my $.02
Stay tuned. No official changes have happened, but keep your eye out for some news about possible change of venue for Fluidride Cup Race #2.
Ponderous. I guess I won't be skipping round two after all as was originally planned.
Nice...I may actually show up since it looks like I'll be in town. Only question is DS or DH or both.
That's the question I am currently trying to answer. I'm also hoping my camera comes back from the shop before that weekend.
yeah, I guess I could take pictures too. Yo Andy what category did you race? 40 Sport?
40 sport (aka - Senior Circuit), indeed. Once I get a biggER rig, I'm hopping up to expert. I may just do DS this time around, but I've still got a lot of time to change my mind (several times over). 
maybe I'll just photo it... 
sweet, I guess I can justify the time/money expenditure now. wish i'd been to the first race, but better late than never!
SaWEEEET!!!!
[Little John] Yeah! [/Little John]
Any course changes? Let us know when you get it figured out.
Stupid canadians... Take your coves and your chumbas and stay off our race courses!
Sounds like there are two new sections just finished, one for the beginer sport and one for expert pro. Sounds like they are killer!

so did you guys convince ewan that he has to come down for this one?
yep there is new lines on both courses. Nothing is etched in stone yet, but possible lines are:
Beg/Sport- White Knuckle - to a new line (unnamed) to the left just past Motoguzzi - to either the bottom of the knuck or cakewalk???
Pro/Expert- Maybe Railage - to a screaming fast new section to Lower Pro. It should connect straight into the step-up by then but not the step-down.
They are both some old cat roads that have been opened up and are very fast and flowy.
See you soon.
Ds :d
word!!!! stoked on the pa race for the second round the new lines should be a blast cant wait to ride them. does that mean the third race will be in hood? anyways should be blast cant wait.
Good question. Might have to change my days off around for the hood races so the earlier I know the less my boss bitches
This should be a ton of fun.
I don't know if I'll have my DH bike by then! I might just come race my double for DH and h-tail for slalom.

Right, but that one has always been a June Ski Bowl race. That particular Ski Bowl event is separate from the Fluidride Cups
