I love that jump. Bigger this year right?Here's a pic from Sicklines.com of the first jump, about 200 yards after the start.

Its looking like its going to be freaking epic! Props to Plattekill for stepping up and rising to the occasion, what a great way to set off the east coast season.

Im going to be up this weekend. I will try and get some pictures showing the real size and pitch of this course. It will be Fast and FUN.
Which day? I'll be there Saturday.
Anyone wanting to get some runs in, look us up. The kid and I will be in the usual spot both days.
Both!
Hmm, I think I raced on that Cat 2 course before...
Similar to the GES a couple years ago, but the bottom is different
Cat 2 looks like fun! Now if I can only remember how to ride my old dh bike...
would have been in 1999 or so...

Weathe looks good for the Pre Race weekend. If You can't make it mid week for practice get your runs in this weekend.
Best deal anywhere:
$40 for a two day pass this weekend and every other this summer as well!!!
One day passes remail the same as previous years $30.
Courses will not be taped, but ask around they are easy to find.

Jim can't wait...looking forward to it!
build crew was putting the finishing touches on the course this weekend. top jump (and landing) were resurface, berm was built on a switchback off a ski slope, and another big berm was added on the side of the hill leading into the old retaining wall drop.
i am so freakin excited
Thanx again Jon for coming up and giving the Delta House Trail Crew some love and shovel time. Good times hanging with ya as always
Geronimo begins the Colorado --> NY journey tomorrow. Swing by the pits!

If You Pre-Register you will skip the payment/Registration line and head right up to pick up your number plate. A possible HUGE time savings.
Top Lot pits are filling up. Remember we can't allow e-z ups in the top two lots unless they are in reserved Pit Spaces. The top two lots will be patrolled by security 24/7.
There is no camping in the Pits or the Team Village Area. The Pits and the Team Village Area are for Day use only. Camping is only avail in the camping lots.

New Start Ramps are up. New timing system is ready, now will have beeps for start and a clock at the finish. Live timing on the web is being worked on and will hopefully be available.
The course is prime and ready to be shredded. It is anything but lame, the steep middle section of the course has been reworked and it's a real challege. Weather looks to be mid 70's with sun.

Total Platty Weather Curse!
Now a chance of showers 30% S/S....but, it's still a week away!
Camera equipment is ready and I will be there early Friday!!! Can't wait to get back into the race season even if it is just shooting this season.
Make sure you don't forget the grass roll for the pits!
