any chance you could post an elevation profile or a Strava segment of the actual super d course? That will help people understand what the course is like and determine which bike to bring
sorry Peej
i was just using your misfortune (or bad judgment) to juxtapose a bad idea with sending the B and C racers down the same track. not only is it a bad idea for there safety, but think about how much time it will take. if the USAC race starts at 2, then it might be done by 4. maybe. i...
Really? very constructive and mature.
isn't there all this talk about growing gravity racing in the south? how are we going to do that if you send all those kids skidding down that track? they will be scared as hell and never want to race again.
Andrew is right, most coaches get the girls...
but i don't think you're really grasping how many people are going to be there. do you remember the fiasco at the Clemson collegiate race? and furthermore, how few of those people are interested in riding down that track.
you need to break it up and have the B and C races at the old course...
So the collegiate race will be on the same day as the final USAC race?
Do you know how many people that is? Will the collegiate race have a beginner track as well? You know that most of the people who even race collegiate A's want nothing to do with that mountain.
If I am reading that...
Why does USAC suck again?
They do provide medical insurance, as well as discounts on auto insurance, they have deals on gas sometimes, discounts at hotels and restaurants....for race promoters it's easier to work with more people because the organization has clout. They can provide more...
avery creek is more bang for your buck than bennett gap. its all downhill and fast as ****. bennett has two climbs in it. or do an out and back on pilot rock or heartbreak. its all rideable. dupont has some good stuff thats not well ridden but has more downhill than anything else in the park, so...
I really like that the boone crew did not race. I thought it was pretty dorky at a few other area races where the course designers raced and won/podiumed. The kids in boone have the right attitude.

so i'm thinking of applying to UC at Santa Barbara. school will of course be my focus, but...who am i kidding? adrenaline junkies can only be still for so long. whats the vibe? i've never been to CA, and living in Asheville, NC i can imagine how different it is. right now i am surrounded by rich...
if you made the course longer it would attract more people.
more people=more fun. i would like to see some more rocks. i have tried to talk quite a few people into coming out to the race with me, and everyone says it too short to be a "real" super d. i disagree, i really feel like it favors...
