Hell yeah. Cant wait for this year. Is this a part of last years course or is this a new spot? Looks like a fun jump. =]


**Edit - I figured out where this was. Just never saw the jump from this angle.

Oh yeah, I remember seeing that when they posted it. haha Score. Your a video celeberty! =]

So you riding DH in SC at all recently? We should meet up and ride as soon as I get my new rear spring. My current one is too soft and bottoms out on preload. I havent even really got to ride my new bike yet.
 
Shuttles are offered, but it all depends on the weather. There's a few steep pitches on the fire road that get really slippery. (Almost lost a truck down the mountain side last year.) The push isn't really too bad, just takes like 45 minutes.

Oh yeah, if it's wet and rainy, bring the PAM cooking spray. Keeps the mud off the tires and keeps the chain stays/tire clearances free of the clay mud.

Yo! Please note we changed the date for the 2nd race. We moved June 1-3 to June 9-10 because the Cal State Championship is June 3rd in Fontana. Also, note that each race is a two day event. Practice on Sat and Sun. Races are on Sunday.

Correct dates are as follows:

(Race 1) April 21-22, 2007 | (Race 2) June 9-10, 2007 | (Race 3) Sep 8-9, 2007

Also, we plan on using a Sandhill Racing's new pro timing system http://www.phoenix-sports.com

More updates to come ...

Thanks to all for your support!!!

Just curious, if it is muddy can we shuttle ourselves up using pit bikes(xr50, xr80, crf150)?ie tie a rope from the back of the dirtbike to the bike. I saw some guys at the last fontana race doing it and it was a lot faster than taking the shuttle or pushing up the hill.

I may be out this year, the series is 2 races too many for me. I like my once a year race whether I need to or not. Plus after last years embarrassment, I don't know how much more my 40 year old body can take.

I may do it, I just started XC again, I really missed the climbing thing. We'll see about the race, I got to get my cardio up, as the pedaling sections are what killed me.

Will you be having build days going to get the course built?
We will not have build days this year open to the public. The park doesn’t want the general public to be out there as it is the busy time of the year unless of course you are on a dirt bike. They are requiring insurance for each build day for us and they are letting us use a bobcat so we can build the course faster. I need to confirm but I believe they will not let anyone on a mountain bike up on the mountain till the weekend of the race.

so you can just take a bike out there and pedal around if you feel like it though?

You can take a dirt bike out there. The word from the rangers park is that you can't pedal around till the weekend of the race. Its the busy time of year so they probably don't want you out there with dirt bikes flying around ... maybe if its not busy during the week you can get up out there but its up to the rangers .... and at your own risk.

Marc,

I'd roll with ya. The usual gang (you know who) thinks that the CHDH is stupid and since they are so closed minded, I'm limiting my time with them this year. They think that they only should go to norbas blah blah blah........ I talked to Bones and I know you've heard my gripes..........

Maybe we could get Bones off his butt and do it too.

Can't wait too.....when we hittin' the trails H???
As soon as I am healed brah. Prolly next month-around valentines or so I should be ready to go. Take it easy on me though.
and if your buddies think NoBras are better than this race, i can see why you would be limiting time with them. Backarsewards. I love this race. So fast...I love it.
