I've decided to enter into the open this year but don't know what I should do. I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice about the DH or Indy Cross. I'm pretty good at DH but also good at the things in the indy cross. I cant enter both though so what would be better for someone doing their first open.
U.S. Open
- Thread starter mtnbiker7
- Start date
IndyCross racing will be new to everyone, so you might as well just try that.
and skill, strategy, fitness, and brains
i recall hearing that indycross will be built up and extended to be less tame and have more jumps and such...but i don't know....maybe i just made that up in my head because that what i want...
That was said last year...
Enter the dh instead. You can always race indy cross another time.
are you the same guy on MTBR that wanted to enter with a Scott Voltage?
Yeah thats me. Why do you ask?
I would say your demo 9. The berms are too long and flat for a hardtail. Especially and eastern night train. I have ridden it on my black market and it was awful. If the berms were really steep I would say go for it, but they aren't, beside, you wont have enough stability on a hardtail.
anyone know when the deadline for registering is? I might give the indy cross race a shot. Trying to get my lady friend to try too but she needs time to think about it lol
def. the night train....indyx is smooth as hell and i thnk theres only like 2 jumps(from last year)both tiny...demo 9 would be 2 heavy and a night train is perfect with its 14.7" stays....just make sure u dont have street tires on there...
are we talking about the same trail? because last i checked ix wasnt that smooth.
