and could possibly become a series depending on the fate of the parks. I have been talking with the rangers and they say it's a pretty good possibility.
The race will be at Mammoth Bar again but this year it's only $45! The trail will be Eastside and for those of you who know, bike choice will be key to this one. Technical with a good amount of pedalling. Dh bikes and 5+ inch travel trail bikes for sure.
We will have all details on folsomcyclebration.com and should be updating them every month until the month of the race and then we should be updating every week.
Pro Payback purse and working a pretty good sponsor group right now including WTB, Formula Brakes, X-Fusion, Commencal, Fox and possibly Shimano. I have also been talking to Cannondale about getting involved...if they do it will be in a bigger way than even last year when they handed out a $2500 purse! Chris Van Dine said he will be getting ready for the Redbull Rampagearound then but plans on coming out to race it as well. I hope Nick comes too, those guys are both BA. We are meeting up later this week so I should know more by next week.
Let me know if you have any questions!

That's good to hear, but isn't Eastside all blown out since the fire that came through last year? If I read right, Eastside is gonna be the trails for this race, right?

I am always open to suggestions for races guys. i want to put on the races you guys want to go to. Right now I have a really good rep with the Rangers and things are going really well. Hopefully one day we will get the Clementine loop to race on but I also have a secret spot up my sleeve!!! I have been granted access to a section of mountain that has been closed for 30 years. If the races happen over there we could be building our own private DH track this winter!!

Wow Heath...that is great news. I took almost a year off from riding bikes and when I log on, I see you've made some excellant headway!!

I was super busy with pre-deployment training for the Army Reserve and work so I haven't been in lately.

Makes me want to get back into racing again and try out Super D!!!!

Hey Bautista! How are you man! So glad to see you on here again. Thanks for putting in all that work with the reserves man, that's a serious job. I am trying to pick a great venue for the Super D and I have two or three choices. Trying to get folks out to ride with me and share their opinions. When can you come ride? Who wants to join us?

I'm off Mon/Tues/Wed but really my only day free is Monday and early Tuesday.

I still haven't dusted my bike off. Such a shame. If I can get out there one of those days, that'd be fun but sucky since I haven't turned a pedal in so long but F-it. I don't mind vomiting everywhere.

I'm gone end of July till beginning of September for some military stuff. What fun it shall be.

Going up on Monday to ride the course and finalize a few things with the rangers. Still need two EMTs...send em my way if you can! This race is gonna be super fun. Lots of practice and hopefully some really good food and beer! Vendors to date are X-Fusion, Formula, WTB and Gamut. Check the new Bike Magazine for a Pic of Cam McCaul from last years FAMJAM! Pretty sick! FamJAM is going off on the 10th again this year with free entry to ride and $500 best trick! Come out and show us some DJ skills and then come race the Super D the next day and you can do both of them for only $45!

Wood Booger, why did you think it was on the 14th?

I rode Eastside today and it's pretty savage right now...I really want to use Tunnel trail as it would be an Instant CLASSIC! but I am having issues with the rangers...they take F_O_R_E_V_E_R to do anything. I have been trying to seal up detial since last September and they just repsonded to me yesterday about my permit. Still moving forward but it always amazes me how these people have jobs.
i will keep you posted.

Yea Eastside is pretty gnar, plus the fireroad before the trail is like a few inches deep of moon dust. Some of the ruts on the trail are hella deep, one time while riding the rut I caught my pedal and almost sent me over the bars. Had me puckered up the whole time.

I did but they wouldnt let me do trail maintenance and/or change the trail...sooo, I am pretty frustrated with the whole process. No race this year. Sorry guys, I tried.
I will not post again until everything is ready, IF I do another race.
