A V10? But what about the puuuuuuurdy DH9? I love the look of that bike :)

Hmm..... a HT class, too bad I just converted my Flow to a SS. Although, that might be interesting :eek:

Mike, I've got 2 words for ya, Mud Tires. ha ha. you better be there if it rains man. as far as the hard tail class goes , I haven't seen anything about it ( looked into it a few mins ago) so it prolly aint happenin.
As far as the purdy Yeti goes, it's still a great bike, I just got the opportunity to try something new so I figured why not . wanna buy a Yeti.

i haven't mad it out to wintergreen yet but i sorta thought that they had torn down the trails. i saw some skines and rock drops over on the blue ised of the mountain. how is it like over there? how does it compare to snowshoe? that was fun but buy the end of the season it wasn't a chalenge. my hopes are now in powerline. anyway anyone got pics, discriptions, or stories about wintergreen? is it worth checking out?

Dan Broooooome Raines, word?! Didn't know you're still alive. You bring the beer and excuses, I'll bring the pink pants and my best sh!t talk!

BKQuill and I will be there. Brady's may have to go to Europe for work but if not, he'll be there as well.
I'll be there too in a jersey matching Dan's and a tired, cashed Big Hit w/ 99 Z-1 BAM. Super T died. We'll finally get to meet, crazy. :stupid:

2 years ago, i stumbled into a pretty awesome sleep spot the night before the race. somehow weasled my way past the guard at the gates and just headed up, up, up past all the cabins until the road ended at an overlook parking lot. absolutely empty and amazing views. it was very cool waking up in that spot, though the legality is somewhat sketchy i guess. :think:

great race... dropping my chain in the first rock garden and stupidly crashing and separating my shoulder right before the finish line (2 hours at the ER) and all. hopefully, i'll be healed up for the open.

First time riding that course. Very fun!

I managed to finish after my handlebars flipped upside down and my chain dropped off the guide between the inner plate and the ring.

Yeah, the weather sure was somthing. I stopped off in Harrisonburg to have lunch with a friend, and while we were sitting at Chilis the skies OPENED UP! Driving home was quite an interesting experiance. I couldnt see 5 feet in front of my truck!
