The main issue i've heard a few times now, the latest being from Rob on Cnd Cyclist's latest post, is that the course is so steep that every major wreck requires helo evac as rescuers can't get to the injured riders.
Garritt! What are you doing online right now? What time is it there?Here is that same corner... but from the top...
this kind of tells you how steep this track is..

I think you accidentally posted a pic of Expert practice at Snowshoe...nope, i have the same results from gary. 1.5 seconds. Jill qualified fast enough to be #30 for the men...

...while walking the course....sounds kinda like Gracia (or maybe it was Lopes...can't recall too well) at Schweitzer a few years ago..."I'm not walking the course...I'll probably break my ankles."
...sounds like fun.The main issue i've heard a few times now, the latest being from Rob on Cnd Cyclist's latest post, is that the course is so steep that every major wreck requires helo evac as rescuers can't get to the injured riders.

and Clay Porter too.....but only in July 2008!EDIT: Is Rankin covering this for Earthed 5?! It would be awesome to see his coverage of this race...
Can't really see well, but his he on flats?looks like old school vermont loamy fresh track where you come down with 1'' of loam roost from your front tire on your shins!
He looks like Charlton Heston!!!!!!!!who gives a crap about the track when the DHers are going thick, full beards like this http://www.jillkintner.com/home_blog/http:/www.jillkintner.com/home_blog/IMG_6089.html... damn that's sweet!!!!! thanks for the image Jill.
Then this rider came into view almost floating over the roots- hardly any noise and then off into the distance in a flash- that’ll be Nico then…He is here to win and, although Id think he’s not more than an each way bet, I’d love to see it. In typical Vouilloz (understated) manner he is pitted as far away as you could think off- on the very fringe of the pits, up on the Rive Gauche is a small van with one French man tinkering with Fox shocks and another quaffing down a bowl of Pasta…
