The top 15 qulify in each age bracket of each cat. Age brackets are in increments of 5 years. 19-24, 25-29, ect and I think juniors are 2 year age splits. This doesn't really apply to who you were racing against at the mountain. Last year I crashed in slalom qualis and placed 16th in cat 1. But the usac results showed me as only being 8th place because the other 8 were in the next 5 year age bracket. This result only being counted for national qualification. Not usac points which will be your actual place at the race.Bitch!n good time. Anyone know what the requirements were to qualify for Nationals? I heard so many different things amongst the chatter... top 5 in cat, top 10 in age, longest skinniest weiner, top 15
Nope. Just wanted to compare notes w/ him on how his operation has to run compared to the venues I used to work with. All made sense and I was good with it.I had a blast also. Saturday's first couple of runs were horrible and I really thought 'what the heck am I doing here?' Kept riding and getting faster and feeling better. Sunday everthing started to come back to me and got faster every run. My race run was almost perfect for me. I hit the rock at the top and launched over it. I really hope someone got a photo of it, I don't think anyone was there at the time though.
If anyone is looking to sell a bike I am looking to get a new one small oir medium sized.2-3 years old will do.
Butch- can you elaborate on the lift discussion? I was worried about getting the runs in probably like everyone else, but with the four tray lift it was just like every other weekend up there.
When will results get posted?
What changes if any did they do to the course from last year?
It's pretty messed up. Ortho says the swelling is from a mid-grade sprain and in a few weeks I can start testing it out. No training for Nats.Butch hows the knee? .
