So here is my idea. We have DH course which has little elevation drop (less than 100') and we have done everything to make the course as fun as possible. We had a fun race a few weeks ago and everyone raved about how fun the course is and how much it kicked our butts. I have raced motorcycles for years and have always wanted the feel of waiting behind the gate at the starting line and the bar bashing. I'm not really into the dual slalom?4X thing, for me it doesn't have the draw or wow factor that DH does. I want to try to incorporate the side by side racing of moto/4X into my DH course. My question is who would be interested in this kind of racing? We would still use 4 riders and a starting gate on a wide DH track with multiple lines. of course we would have to make changes to the trail to accommodate multiple riders. The good thing is we could race year round or just in the winter.

Here are a couple vids of our course

Pretty sure they did that way back in the hay day of DH circa '98-ish? It was made for TV with helicopter shots and aired on ESPN or Fox sports or something like that.

Anyway, good job using the little elevation you have to work with. Add some more rocks and small log drops.

Why do you call that a DH course?
I knew some dumba$$ would have to chime in about my course. Im sorry I dont have the elevation that you would like to see in my vids. I guess having 60 acres on the lake just isnt good enough. I am just happy to have the course I have . Ride what you got.


and why are you sitting on that seat while pedaling and mostly WHY are you riding shirtless ?
Thats actually not me in either vid so I guess I can ask my friends why they are sitting down and going shirtless. I pretty sure they really don't care what you think but Ill ask just to be sure.

What I'm really looking for is interest in this type of racing. I'm looking for some feedback. Positives and negatives of this type of racing would be great. I really don't need a bunch of kids poking fun at things I cant change
