Half way sounds good for this year, what race venues and dates are the 2014 races, in the south? Go headed and lock down dates for 2015 and 2016 for a full year, consistent dates of each pays off better. It will give people time to get there schedules and expenses together for traveling for the...
Are "those two venues" are they Beech Mtn Resort and Bryce Resort? or Beech Mtn Resort and Snowshoe? or Bryce Resort and Snowshoe? Just my thoughts on venues with lifts: Beech Mtn, Bryce, Snowshoe, Massanutten, and very long shots Sugar and Wolf; and then add in shuttle: Windrock and TTC, and...
eccorp, Yes, I was there last year, and there is a way to make it work, being a "non-race" and making it a "guiding ride" with support, if you understand what I am talking about.
Awesome Photos and write up about the event!
Looking forward to this world class facility, USNWC, holding a UCI World Cup XC, Eliminator and maybe 4X in the near future.

Is this some sort of dirt roadie crit race? or a mtn bike race? Very confused, rescheduling a "down hill" mtn bike race do to rain in a over sized, concrete, skate, water park, looking course?
So, when is the full on UCI XC, Eliminator, and maybe 4X race going to be held at the US NATIONAL...
This race should be one of those, World Cup Eliminator style race's for this location or even a more urban mtb dual or single slalom races. It would seem that such a high profile place like the US Water Center, in a world class city of Charlotte, with a international airport very close by, two...
This must be some sort of wisen water sinter joke, nothing say you are "so outdoorsy" than one of those cute, over paid, marketing, red and white wc stickers on your car. :) Enjoy the race.
@ bizutch, thank you for the input, Yes, it would be nice if a few other ski resorts would realize that with some planning, that may cost some funds up front and the pay-off would come around for the overtime in a few years. It seems that the actions of a few in the past turned off the "owners"...
Goal:
To have a series of mtb races that promote good will among athletes in the sport, contribute to the host community, and build awareness and appreciation of the mtb discipline among athletes and fans.
Scope:
Promote and produce a race series that includes 8 to 10 DH, Super-D, Enduro races...
Really? There's a conflict with dates and people are seeming working together with date changes? It's happen twice this year, so far anyway, thanks for working together so we can all enjoy the events. Plan it out, maybe for two years with constant dates and events will flow and hopefully grow...
It's okay, nothing negative about what you posted; hopefully with an open discussion about what the needs and wants of the racers, promoters, sponsors and venues working together with a series may work out and catch on with a learning curve. I think with a two years outlook for promoter and...
Yes, constant dates would be good with gravity events, so we all could plan the time needed to make it to the events. A two year "deal" or "contract", for the venue holder of the event and promoter, to be revisited and renewed every year for two years for planning and adjustments that need to be...
Anyone interested in having an Gravity South Series in 2014?
Yes, I know this is an open and loaded question for all to answer with all types of comments. Racers have opinions of the perfect race and series, sort of like herding cats; while race promoters/directors have differences of just about...
