dude shain, what the hell are you babbling about??!!! You don't even make sense.

Anyway, as far as you're concerned fontana doesn't have "jumps". There are times when your wheels might leave the ground, but YOU wouldn't call them jumps. Fontana (from the one time I've been there) is just a fun little hill with some really cool rock sections. You'll like it.

And you friend (is that the kid that allways wants to set up some sort of bet w/you ?) or whatever with the p.o.s. bike probly would be best staying home. His bike wouldn't make it.

As far as jumps go, there is one decent road gap thing, but it's not garanteeded to run that way. And with 4X, I think they just need to do some digging. Meaning, build the jumps and what not. So if you're SUUUPER bored, go out and dig. but if not, then I would just leave it to SRC.

I just looked at his post and asked him(downhill24/7) "What is that post about? Are ya talkin to yo self?" And he said he was talkin about the kid you mentioned.

Anyway is Fontana Next week end ? Like love bunny just posted? If not contact me so I can make arrangements with You, the kid said you guys were planning a week-ender

Yeah as far as I know it's "team SD" getting a room. As long as everybody from the last race is going it should be supper fun and cheap. Except Heather is getting so good now.... she might need her own suite. JK... your pics look sic from Sea Otter.

Hey CFK, yeah the race is next weekend. So that means the kid needs to train this weekend :blah: Are you going to come out to the race and watch the Incredible Hulk in action?

When you say next weekend, you mean the weekend after the one that occurs in 2 days right? April 30/May 1? Otherwise my dates are all screwed up..

BTW, as mentioned earlier I'm coming out on April 25 if anyone wants to do some shuttling or whatever - PM or e-mail me: m _ b e a u d r y @ r o g e r s . c o m (No spaces)

Vet pro Class? What age is that? What is it all about?
What the hell is BMXMAN doing in that class anyways? We're too slow for him to be juking it in our class. 80% of those Vet "PROS" are there for a reason... aka -Peteryson, Stu, Umland... the rest??????

I think Vet Pros are over 35 and way faster than experts...I mean like whooping the expert class.

Nope you can't shuttle it, but you can ride it anytime and hike/ride back up a short road.

It only takes about 7-10 minutes to hike up the service road which starts in a cul-de-sac. The only time it can be shuttled is during race weekends, for practice and race runs.

Umm... I'm not sure yet... I wanna leave my car and bike at my friend's in La mirada after I go riding, and just catch a ride with someone I go up with back down to SD. Cause I'll be headin up to port hueneme with my work during the week before the race. I'll be racing the fontana race, so I'm gonna have my friend come pick me up from P.H. and bring me back to her house on the friday before the race. Then I'll drive up to Fontana. So I'm still tryin to figure out my plans, but I'll keep you posted.

What time would you be interested in goin up there?

I was runnin a Hutchison Octapus 2.3 up front and Panaracer Trailblaster 2.1 in the back, the panaracer is wearin low and I should have had at least a 2.3 in the back, and i should have been runnin a 2.5 up front. The tires just weren't hookin up at all in that loose sand. I just ordered a 909 EX 2.5 from intense tires, so I'll be runnin that up front with the hutchison in the back.

Werd, I have a Intense FRO 2.35 if you are interested, I also have an EDGE FRO 2.35. Either would work well in the rear with that 909. We will probably be at Wal Mart on Sunday afternoon 6:00ish.

Hey Fonzie, everyone is gonna be there building today, if ya wanna head over there in a lil bit. I'm going over there in about 20 or 30 minutes. Ummm.. I've been there all week building up that table. It's done finally, and I put a hip lip on it as well. It's a fun jump.

As for the tires, I'm real broke right now, i'd love to get one of the tires off of ya, but right now, I have to find a way to get money for gas to get up to fontana and money to race and eat while I'm there. I already got the time off approved to go to the race, but now i'm broke, so I'm kinda hopin I can get the money. Looks like I'm gonna have to sell some of my XBOX games that I don't play. haha maybe find something else to sell and get some cash. Well I'll see ya at the walmart jumps bro!
