Back into the trees and onto the old course (arm pump) as far as I know.ggb said:Hey Wayne, were does the course go after twisted sister?
good i like those parts. i ate crap over the second roller b/f the road gap.Wayne said:The section of the course that crosses 5 Mile Road and down over the cattle guard, all the way to finish, will remain mostly the same with a small detour at the bottom.
This was straight from the horse's mouth.
whats your name? did you own dhrace.com long time ago?dhrace said:when the new section going to be finished?
I hope to kill it but a couple injuries (just muscle related, nothing major) has slowed down my training a bit. I have been living/training racing at above 8,500 feet for the last month so that should help minimize the effects of my asthma. I am going to try to get to 5,000 feet at least once a week starting this week to do intervals. I am planning on hitting Big Sky, Fernie and Kicking horse on the way to Sun Peaks, should be a fun trip.bcd said:you should kill in the 40+ class this year.
i have been roadie'it 4x a week, pump track
and dirtjumping.
what kind of training have you been doing, aside from
racing all summer like a madman

sound like skinsuit weatherWayne said:Went up yesterday and looked around for the new course. I was given the proximity of where it should be, but what we found is not something you'd want to race on. Actually its without a doubt the single worst DH race course I have ever seen.
Imagine racing down a super steep single lane highway (speed skiing?) completely void of any features or obstacles. Riding the brakes to keep the bike at about 70kms/hr is more like it. We didn't see any other course in the area and we looked. You guys had better hoped that this is not the Master's run.
Transcend said that it will be in France for the next 3 years. Unfortunately, unable to attend this year due to a separated shoulder. But may be interested in making a vacation trip next year if it is indeed in France.Transcend said:2007-2009 it will be in France.
that section was knarl! the vids did it no justice. i think it was that same year that i raced it (canada or bc cup, i can't remember). the attrition rate in practice from crashes was just silly. so much carnage. great course though.EVRAC said:The sick steep section Wayne speaks of is nuts. There is some footage from about 4 years ago (I think I have it on VHS, was it Torque 2 or something old like that). In the vid EVERYBODY crashes. It's a steep loose shale roll with a hole to launch over followed by a loose shale off-camber left corner. Making that corner at speed will be very tough. Maybe they've fixed it up but it was pretty rough last time I saw it.
Yeah, I took a little vacation and took my time getting here. I hit Teton pass with Lance Canfield and friends, then Big Sky, then Bernie B.C. for a Thursday night race and did an xc ride in Revelstroke. Last year this was my favorite resort so I wanted to play on all there fun trails and not just practice the race course.wow you are there early.
i just cleaned out my toolbox and started to do some packing.
no rain at all huh super dry?
