DH, SuperD and Big Kahuna title races at Timberline

Oct. 16 & 17

WVMBA will sanction the races.

A race flyer will come out soon and list all the details.

Sue Haywood helped with the SuperD course and loves the track. She knows what a good SuperD is and T-line has it.

Ask anyone who raced the Double Down three years ago to learn about the DH track.

New and improved trails will keep you entertained.

Some highlights include:
$35 race fees include a two day lift ticket and LODGING!
Camping on site
Hotel and high end lodging available (working on discount rates)
Saturday SuperD race and DH practice
Sunday DH race
First annual Big Kahuna Bike title on the line using combined times of SuperD and DH (on same bike).

Saturday SuperD race and DH practice. Sunday DH race and Big Kahuna title presentation.

If you have never been to T-line, now is the time.

Contact JR at jrnolan@comcast.net

The SuperD and DH courses are marked top to bottom and open Sat 10 to 5 and Sun 10 to 6.

Can we have camp fires?

Course marks are up, finish arena is built and todays clear skis and wind dried things out.

WHO will be THE BIG KAHUNA and win a winter season pass? You?

The folks that raced over the last two days are a great group. It was a pleasure to have all of you up. I'll post results tomorrow. Got video and pics to post also.

Thanks to all the riders.

JR and crew.

When is opening weekend?

Click to expand...

A fixed date is not set. We will open as soon as we can. We want to open before anyone else and close after everyone.

If you are looking for summer work helping us build and run the place, we have it. I am working on details.
Pay? Free meals, lodging and season pass.

JR

Also working on a SuperD series.

Oct. 8 & 9 Big Kahuna and DH. No Aug DH. Maybe a DH during the Revenge weekend, I'll let you know.

Thanks.

Staggered time trial style starts for the superD.

Oct 8 & 9 are the correct dates

Second annual Big Kahuna Bike title on the line using combined times of SuperD and DH (on same bike).


There are three races: a DH, a SuperD and a combined "paper race".
The combined event, called the "Big Kahuna" must be run on the same bike for both the DH and SuperD.
You can opt out of the combined and run two different bikes; one for the DH and one for the SuperD

Two starts, three results.
1. DH (start)

Dear Racers,

There are two race starts and one paper race which is a combined. So you can race DH and SuperD on two different bikes, like your DH and All mtn.. IF you choose to go for the combined "BIG KAHUNA"" then you must race on one rig for both races.

Is a trail bike the way to go on the Super D or can you get by on a DH bike?

Click to expand...

Last year the SuperD was won on a 6+ inch all mountain.

The track does not unjustly favor a DH or a XC so a 6 inch trail could be the best but maybe not, we will see.

This year the course has three additional sections one climb, one momentum and one DH.

We will post a Go Pro DH and SuperD track preview soon.

Weekend of Oct. 8 & 9 races CANCELED​

SuperD race cancellation announcement

The last half mile of our SuperD course traverses private property. This week the tract was worked by machinery to prepare for development. A reroute is needed to complete the SuperD course. To produce a track (within the ten days remaining) that matches the quality of the original course would require an entirely new route. Timberline will put only the best courses up for our riders and will not compromise our product to meet a deadline. In order to run the Oct 8,9 SuperD a compromise would have to be made. This is not what we are here to do, consequently the SuperD is canceled.



DH race cancellation announcement

Our timing equipment provider and the personnel to operate it are no longer able to meet their obligations. In keeping with the culture of not running any aspect of our Bike Park in a less than professional manner . . . The DH is also canceled.


Our decision to not run this event protects our riders and insures that we meet or exceed the expectations of anyone who comes to Timberline to ride or compete.

We are sorry for any trouble this may cause to our riders or racers.



Timberline lifts and trails will be in full operation now and untill seasons end in November.


Look for the Timberline Festival of DH Good Times on the Oct 15 and 16
