Not to be thinking really far ahead but when does pre-registration end? I don't know if I'm going to be free for the Open until about the end of April

and what's the "greatly improved finish section" going to be now that IX has replaced the US open berms. Big wide open WC style flat turns like in dom #5 a 2 years ago?

i feel this year will be even smaller than last seeing how angel fire is the same weekend and a uci level 2 race and stop 3 on the pro gravity tour. Pack your bags and head out west for a better race

and one of the qualifiers for the USAC Worlds team
Having competed in both, I am VERY excited to race the U.S. Open this year... But if I had one more year in Juniors, it would be a different story...

I take it Geoff is racing AF?

LoL... Todd...

I think PS has some issues with Shawn O., but that aside - I'm super stoked to race there. It's always a good time.

Registered, locked, and loaded.

2009 race season is gonna be SWEET.

:biggrin:

EDIT: I'm pretty sure most of the WC guys that were there last year will be in attendance this year.

media blackout
there arent any trails on the mountain one cant easily ride a hardtail
I would LOVE to see you go down Utah, Ripper, Slayer, or BMW on a hardtail. I'd do whatever was in my powers to convince Shawn to let you on the mountain just for this AND pay for your lift ticket. Of course I'd be filming it too :busted:

Uhgh, not real slalom? why even have a qualifyer? That's all this event will be as a timed
run. Slalom racing is one of the best sports ever! I hate when they try to "re-envent"
something that is solid already. Dang!
Looks like the course needs some more berms!
