Arai
I'm old and slow, and I value my brain and have to be able to get to work on monday. So I love them, they're heavy and hot but the protection can't be beaten. I'm probably in the minority around here using one. A light lid might very well do just fine for all but the most major of crashes.- doc gravity

Keystone or Trestle?
Different experience Keystone, blown out, not as buffed, great big mountain riding Trestle, better maintained, more of a designed trail system. If it was me, start at trestle, if you love it come back, if you want to do something different head to Keystone for day 2. Have fun- doc gravity

National Series for the USA
No flaming, but some things to think about: 1) It's a big cost to get UCI inscription for ANY race, would be pricey for a whole series. Would riders be willing to accept an increase in price with no change in product besides UCI points 2)Tough to run 3 separate series without overlap with...- doc gravity

Angel Fire to host 2013-2014 Gravity Nationals
Agreed, and having ridden Beech, It's a great track (until the monsoons came and showed how little skill I have). Well thought out and got the best out of what they had to work with. Same with Sol Vista. It is a different experience on mountains with lots of vert, Not necessarily better, just...- doc gravity

Angel Fire to host 2013-2014 Gravity Nationals
Point well taken, but the opportunity to ride a world cup 4X cross (angelfire) doesn't come around too often. Hearndon and the Beech Mountain crew built a nice DS for last year's nationals and if would fit in the first 2 straights of the Angelfire course.- doc gravity

Angel Fire to host 2013-2014 Gravity Nationals
If they go back to the old courses, they're fine. Even with the Pepper spray section, the best pro time was under 5 minutes in 2011 at the MSC race. In 2010, half the field was under 5:00 (no pepper spray). Not certain what lap times are on the newer courses, but they've got lots of options...- doc gravity

Shuttle rigs
Very real issue, I drive a dodge mega cab which I love for the interior room, and hate for it's 6 and 1/2 foot bed. Modifying the truck to a long bed hasn't been worth it yet. As much as I hate having racks and too small a bed, I really enjoy not having youngsters kicking the back of my seat...- doc gravity
