WISP race series and freeride/downhill park

The berm at snowshoe is a lot bigger and in the woods. I should know..It probaby still has my skin on it after I got my 12 stitches!
the wisp is fun if its close to you. if i had to travel i would much rather hit snowshoe, platekill, or diablo. im more of a park guy and they park is very tame at the wisp.
but its 30min away soooo, i go.

Thanks, dude. How about age groups? Anyone know how they are split up?
Is there a page with results from previous races?
Can the DH be run on a 4-5" travel slalom bike(Tazer)?
Sorry for the questions. It's just that it is going to be a major ordeal getting both of my bikes up there and if I can bring one it will make my life easier.

I don't really have all the answers. I haven't actually even ridden there. From the descriptions I've seen here on RM I'm guessing a 4-5" bike would be fine. As for age groups I found these race results on their website. It looks like it is broken down into pro, expert, sport, beginner and Jr., senior, vet, master.
Thanks, JD.
I'm thinking about heading up to Wisp next weekend for the race. I'll be camping out in either Swallow Falls SP or Deep Creek SP. Does anyone have any opinion which is better? I've hiked at Swallow Falls before and it was really nice with the river and the waterfalls and all but I think it's a little further away.
wisp does have a series, consisting of 4 races, this being the final one. Since they are norba events, they probably use the standard norba point system for beginner:
1st place is 25 points
2nd is 24
3rd is 23
etc.
Thanks for a great season guys!! It was worth the money and time for the fun and moments that were had!
Heres to a great series and a great summer of racing!
