hey i am getting ready for the dh race in fontana on the 19th, and was wondering hows the terrain there. i am kinda of nervous because it's been so long since i race there or raced period for that matter.

after having are daughter two years ago it has been really hard to get any ride time. so i decided to dedicate some time for racing just put in ride time. i hope i am not sounding selfish but any of you monkeys that have kids you know what i am talking about.

depends on what course they run, they have course that are pretty tech but like always you have to pedal the wall. I would recomend riding long distance to get in shape for the wall.

 

[retrofred]

oh yah i forgot about the wall section. i'm screwed. well i am just going to have fun, and that's what's it's all about.

 

[drizzle]

yeah just have fun, that is what this sport is about. I will see you there.

 

[Bicyclist]

You'll be fine. There are kids out there on Huffys sometimes.

 

[retrofred]

yeah just have fun, that is what this sport is about. I will see you there.

it will be good to get out and be around the dh crowd. look for me at the race i will have a tomac moah with a cheetah print sdg seat. shouldn't be to many out there.

 

[PatBranch]

Here's a video from the national for an idea of the terrain:

 

[coma13]

it'll be a good time for sure... the terrain is never very difficult but it can be decent at times...

 

[retrofred]

i am hoping to have a good time.

 

[drizzle]

i should be on a black turner rail with white 36's i should rolling around.

 

[retrofred]

i'll look for yah.

 

[PatBranch]

I have a black (chrome swingarm) bullit with a jr.T. Here's what my helmet looks like:

note the "mtnbrider" on the side

 

[retrofred]

[Ozzer]

I want to win a Marzoocchi fork during the awards ceremony raffle. I always get barends and ODI non-locking grips.

 

[DylanDeanDesign]

Are you going with you friend or is it just you.

 

[cheetaprowlerDH]

if he can get ahold of his new 888 works, he will try to race.

he is just low on money to pay the entry fee and shuttle fee.

otherwise, he really wants to though

Just have his parents loan him the money. It's not like he's not going to get any money any time soon. If anything 35 bucks should be pretty easy to come by. I would think.....

 

[Zutroy]

Anyone been out to the course lately? How big a dust bowl is it?

It's not bad at all. it's actually pretty clean. At least the routes I took.

 

[PatBranch]

When I went to one of the winter series races there, there was suposedly 100% chance of rain/thunder/lightning. It only drizzled a little and the course was so perfectly tacky.

Thats not something usually associated with fontana.

 

[merrrrjig]

I hope to be out at fontana, I am trying to get off work.

 

[Fonzie18]

If I return from Baja early I will go to the race. Highly unlikely though.

 

[1000-Oaks]

I plan to be out there (shooting photos), never been.

Anyone recommend any good spots on the DH and XC courses? I'm looking for something technical / rocky, where guys are ripping but not grunting uphill or looking dead.

 

[PatBranch]

Go to the upper half, past the lower part of the shuttle road (you will know it, when you walk up the course). I won't be there...

 

[cheetaprowlerDH]

1 story....

yup...

it does what i need it to and thats all that matters...

but if you really want to know... 18in

Thanks man.

How long does it take to walk up the course? Will it be shoulder-to-shoulder spectators, or not too bad?

 

[DylanDeanDesign]
