..and another country to be great.So I need to move to Cali or Colorado if I ever want to be good?
he's automatically in since he is defending champ, but i haven't heard whether he plans to defend his title or not. Given his decision around 4x racing i'm guessing he is choosing to go out on top and not contest it. Better to walk away the champ than get beaten on your way out the door.Lopes on the team? Wasn't Vallnord his last 4x race?

Was going to say the exact thing! GO GEOFF!Or move to NY ride at plattekill for all your life that would do
"Geoffrey Ulmer (Troy, N.Y.)"
GO GEOFF
Plattekill was a qualifer.I find it quite hard to believe that in order to be selected we must race the Western races such as MSC or the NMBS.... so if I'm riding east coast races there is no possibility of getting selected... even if the races out east have way better tracks. absolute Bull#@$%
he won that
its geritt, he won the elite division there, but that doesn't matter I guess?People obviously need to start entering races with their Ridemonkey Screenames then....
This kid won the automatic qualifier, and wasn't selected? I though someone from California won that?
Maybe you should go to the first Canada cup run on the new Bromont WC track and win against a better field than will show up at most US races. . . wait never mind, that won't work either.I find it quite hard to believe that in order to be selected we must race the Western races such as MSC or the NMBS.... so if I'm riding east coast races there is no possibility of getting selected... even if the races out east have way better tracks. absolute Bull#@$%
He also won Mt Snow #1 last weekend - but who's keeping track, right?in addition to the Plattekill Pro win and being the highest finishing American pro at the US open, he won the Canadian Cup Pro Class at Bromont beating Steve Smith in the process and qualifying him for a spot on the Canadian team if he was Canadian
There was far too much emphasis placed on angelfire, a track that is flat and nothing like the world champs in val di sol Italy. The fact that Geritt didn't make the team is rediculous.IMO, it's not BS if you know the selection process in advance, and elect to travel to non-selection races anyway especially if you think you have a good chance of making the team. Kevin Aiello went East to get on the JrX team, so why not come West? Not aimed at anyone in particular, but just saying.
Agreed. I know a few of the kids that did make it.There was far too much emphasis placed on angelfire, a track that is flat and nothing like the world champs in val di sol Italy. The fact that Geritt didn't make the team is rediculous.
Thanks for the insight.No...not really
No because he will probably be fastest American (him or JD).Is anyone else pretty pissed about this list, Kyle Strait? He's fast and talented but he doesn't put the effort in at all. Gerritt should be on that list.
haha... i guess Kieran really better watch his butt! lot of guys were joking to him that if he won & took away the automatic spot, he'd get his *** kicked! hahaha oster_oops:Leonard was not automatic. USAC did not allow the highest American at Angel Fire (or the next eligible if the winner was already an auto qualifier) to get the automatic selection. He petitioned.
