[zaphod1]

how's the bike park there?

dont know big hills and trails uh. i'll be finding out.

 

[SK6]

Fast with some real fun sections. Not super technical, but loads of fun.

 

[farrell]

Anyone have more info on the race series they are having. Format? Events? All of the dates seem to be on fridays, does that mean that the actual race is on friday, or are the events all weekend and just start on friday?

 

[BigMike]

Yeah, WISP! That place has AT LEAST 200' of vert

 

[denjen]

A friend of mine just moved up there. His dad is now in charge of the place I think. From what I have heard there might be some good things coming for Wisp. I am going to try and get a trip in there sometime this summer.

 

[zaphod1]

i'll be heading there it's like a 4 hour drive for me

 

[MikeT]

i really liked last years ds course, hopefully they will have one again this season

Last year was pretty....iffy. But hopefully that paragraph on the website has some truth to it. I REALLY hope they put some stunts/tech section/jumps etc. into some of those trails. Its only a 45 minute drive from my local town (Morgantown WV). I would definitely be getting a season pass. My friend and are gonna head up on opening day. Ill report back on how it is

 

[Transfer]

Well they're sure making it sound nice.

Me and my friend are DEFINITELY looking to help build at wisp. The free riding is an awesome bonus (we talking a free season pass there). Just PM me with any information on build days. Or post it here

WISP was a lot of fun.

 

[metalMTB]

except for the part where you could work on your bike, change a flat, and still have time to spare on the lift ride up...

yeah, the lift is rather slow...forgot about that...

The xc side of the moutain was a lot of fun, but the trails were poorly marked,so it made it a bit of a long day, and in the sun, it got hot real quick.

 

[dan wask]

How do you get to help build ?

 

[sunnerbeanmtb]

Wisp was REALLY fun! I rode there ALL day today. I did all the courses on my hardtail (except the triple diamonds...I tried one section of it and its just not possible). If anyone wants to meet up there for a ride I am very flexible. I live 30ish minutes away in Frostburg MD and am looking for people who ride. It gets boring in my little town over the summer and some riding buddies would be great. Even though I am a girl I can hold my own I think...but do remember I am on a hard tale, but am willing to try just about anything!
Other than that....awesome! OH and it is MORE than awesome now that it is dry. On saturday for the race it was saturated (hehe funny word) but now it is wonderful.
Also...would anyone have any advice on getting this girl a dual suspension for not so much money but could hold up on these trails? any advice would be great!

 

[Hooj Choons]

Are the other trails as "tame" as the race course was? If so I may consider coming up sometime soon as there isn't a race until the end of next month and since I have a season pass now I might as well see what else they have.

 

[sunnerbeanmtb]

oh yeah...the trails i rode today were more single tracky and very very flowy. lots of fun.

 

[Tattooo]

Finally got some email back from Wisp.

Pics should be on the Wisp site sometime today or tomorrow.

 

[WSU DH'er]

Pics now up from last weekends race: WISP Pics
Look at this sexy beotch...

 

[Tattooo]

Yup, fat can almost get off the ground.

I wish they had the shot of me eating the ground on the step up though.

 

[Hooj Choons]

I see fingers on the brakes...*shakes head*

 

[MikeT]

did they run the same course they did last season?

[sunnerbeanmtb]

KD1569 I sent you a PM! Thank you so much for thinking of me! I would love pictures!!! email is sunnerbean@yahoo.com

ALSO! I think I am the sexiest of them all....come on boys...

 

[RATM]

Post the results from the 1st race, and also post some more pics if you got them. I am thinking about heading there for a race, or a day of riding, not sure when though.

 

[SK6]

Hey, is the race on Friday July 14th, or is it THAT weekend?

 

[el_gordo]

Somebody please unconfuse me -- the Wisp site says "Please note: Disc Golf Course & Mountainbike Trails & Park Closed Fri - Sun for GNCC Races." under the Mountainbiking rates. To me, this reads closed every and all weekends.
Or is it just the race weekends? And the RH races are on Satudays, so what about Sundays? Or is this just on GNCC Race weekends - whatever a GNCC race is?

Lost in the translation.

 

[sunnerbeanmtb]

el gordo:

the GNCC races are motocross and 4 wheeler races wisp has. Its fri-sun. then regular season resumes.

[Tattooo]

Does anyone know if you have to make every race to be in the points for the season? I am missing the next one to go to the Nationals in CA, wanted to see if I am out of the game if I miss one.

 

[ChrisKring]

can someone post up on how this place compairs to Snowshoe, Diablo, Plattekill, etc?

How much vert? Lift time? Pictures other than the pics above?

Basically, would you go to Wisp or Plattekill?

 

[Tattooo]

The lift is slow, the vert is minimal. But it is entertaining and the beer was cheap.

 

[BigHitComp04]

Does anybody have any idea where that wooden berm is that is pictured on their website? I am clueless as to where it is...
