Rushmore is a "drop" it used to be a little step down but now its got a wood ramp connecting it.

A drop - - with a ramp 'safety' built into the gap now.
How it used to look:
How it looks now:
Oh, and for anyone curious, here's a better perspective on Girthmore - - gives a better feel for just how big it is . . .

I am so stoked to huck my meat! only a month away!
Or nose case...
Thats a tiny drop compared to Girth more.
Joe did that a few weeks ago - - hurt just to watch. Fortunately he tumbled out of it not too bad.
There is camping at the event site! Its a good set up to camp at.

there you go.. should be a ton there..
there you go.. should be a ton there..
Not to bash the people who put the series on, because I know that it is a lot of work, but the race at CDA mtn planned for memorial day was not a good idea..
first off I know that there may not be a huge cross over between XC and the DH group, But the riverside 24 hour race is that weekend.. I know that there isnt a huge rider cross over, but the shop participation here in cda, Except for CDA cycle and fitness, all the shops will be at the 24 hour race.. I know 5 potenital racers that will be at the 24 hour race and we have allready commited to teams. As well as the volunteer work lost be the rest of the people associated with these shops.
Not only is there a conflict between the 24 hour race but also the first stop in the Fluidride series is that weekend in Whistler.. so you have two HUGE races going on that same weekend.. I was told that the CDA Mtn race was planned around the FR and NW cup and I know that the whistler stop was just reciently added.. but the CDA race has to be moved for the sake of the race..
Lastly I know the head of the forest service for this area and there is a VERY slim chance he will allow a race to go on on memorial weekend on a trail that is still consitered a "muli-purpose" hiking trail.. memorial weekend is going to be soo busy and to try and hold a race in a area like that where there is limited space, parking and potential for huge trial conflicts, I do not see a race on that weekend being the best idea..
I do not see any reason why this race could not be shifted to anouther weekend to aviod the conflicts with the 24 hour race, Fluidride, and memorial day crowds..
just my .02 cents.. and I am 17 so feel free to discredit anything I say like half the customers in our shop

wow, its kind of crazy how sandbagged Cat 2 was on Sunday. The top ten times for Cat2 are basically on the same second as Cat 1. holly crap, what the heck is the point of cat 2....
^^ You are always going to find that in Cat 2 unfortunately - - because there are quite a few Expert-level riders who don't or won't buy a yearly USA Cycling competition license.
June 5th and 6th is the new datesNot to bash the people who put the series on, because I know that it is a lot of work, but the race at CDA mtn planned for memorial day was not a good idea..

Yeah, but isn't it also true that if it's one of your first races, you can't just start in Cat 1? I know a few people that are fast riders, but raced their very first races at PA last weekend and they HAD to race Cat 2. Most of them podiumed (or won), so they'd obviously like to move up to Cat 1. Not everyone's a sandbagger......just most of 'em! lol
really? so I migh thave actually made a difference with the emails I wrote?

DHZ is a click-ish goup. If you get a new Bike then shop for it. Words of Wisdom.
What does this have to do with the races?
Nothing, you are right, I am wrong. You are smart,I am stupid. You are goodlooking, I am not.
