Neither Cost, Colorado always dominates, you should all know that by now...
2009 Collegiate Nations 4x?
- Thread starter b1k3_r1d3r
- Start date
thats why they were not invited this year.Neither Cost, Colorado always dominates, you should all know that by now...
Agreed. The hilarious thing is that this "DH" trail (really more FR I guess?) is probably a better 4x than just about any 4x coursed raced anywhere in the U.S. Certainly more fun, and bigger for sure.
So jealous of you guys that get to race!! I was up at N* a month ago checking it out, with the intention of joining the CPSLO team to race the nationals. I ended up massively overshooting the jump where Livewire crosses over Gyspy and destroyed my collarbone, I landed to flat and the force of my fork bottoming snapped the bone. So I have to sit this one out, so gutted. 
I've got to talk to more people when I ride. I don't know the names of any of this stuff.
Dragon's knuckle: is that the somewhat bigger camel back with the cheese wedge on the right? The one you can jump the whole thing on the left side?
And what's the great wall of china?
Find me and I'll make that mustache famous!!
Correct!I've got to talk to more people when I ride. I don't know the names of any of this stuff.

the great wall o china, (i might be the only one that calls it that) is that big ol blasty hip right after said dragon knuckle.
Agreed... I remember Eddy telling us about racing 4x on live wire well over a month ago. (Eddy dont know if you remember me..I had the broken wrist and hung out with the two brothers on a demo and dhr) but yeah sounded like a sweet idea from the start
Hell yeah, Sunset is famous.
PS - I'm calling Shoey Juiceler for the win in D1 DH by 10+ seconds. The kid has been UNSTOPPABLE in the Colorado collegiate DH scene this season.
A repeat from him would not surprise me at all. We should get a litterOTB type pool going for nats.
How many riders is mines sending?
...Bhahwhahah Is he still racing for Reno? Dont they have limitations of when you have to graduate or give up?
Har har! I guess going back to school is stupid! Eff getting more than one degreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Agreed. Spomer, get on this.
Mines is bringing 5 (I think?), all XC type except Christen who will prolly be top 3 in the girls DH. Definitely won't be the same showing as the past few years. . .
Dude, how old is he now? he was an old guy in 2000 when he won in Idaho. Watching Todd Snyder when he saw Jon's time was awesome. Total deflation.
Agreed. Spomer, get on this.

We're in the same boat kind of...stacked gravity squad but no chicks or xc riders. Gonna be hard to pull one out like last year.
what XC rider would want to go to App State? You can only go straight up or straight down for training in Boone.
Check out the dope number plates!

I had the same crash about two months ago minus the broken bone... pulled every tendon in my leg hand though when the tires decided to let go. landed head and shoulder first at the flat bottom where it starts to berm left. ouch.
I can't wait to watch saturday!
Start the Anti-rain dance.
I'm starting the RAIN dance!
Im racing DH sunday and i would like as much rain as possible!
Come on Mud race!!!
Come on Mud race!!!
if only you knew the consequences. IF ONLY YOU KNEW
What, the eco nazis aren't going to let us ride like last year because there was too much rain and didn't want us to contribute to silt runoff? I really hope not. A lot of people have a lot of money invested in getting there this weekend, and it would be really bad if Northstar cancelled on us. If the rain clears out tomorrow conditions should be epic for the weekend. If only mountain management could understand what good biking conditions are.
Can't wait for this weekend.
I wonder how many muni buses will hit you?
word.
if only my school had a cycling team
Start one. Doesn't take much to start a club team. I bet most of the schools competing (save maybe Ft. Lewis) are all just club teams and don't get much support from their school, but you don't need much. Permission to borrow their van/truck, maybe a popup tent or trailer, hold fundraisers or work game parking for your jerseys, etc. Get a local shop behind you and you're golden.
Unless of course your post was in jest, then dammit I just wasted my time....

That really couldn't be any more accurate.
Fvcker's got some sprint legs!
Stoked to see him kill it in the finals.
Jon was railing today. Such a great race.
