I kinda have my hands full right now with race stuff but I'll try to at least make some calls tomorrow and see what it'll take to hold a spot. Will you be tenting? Really, this early I don't think there's a big danger of Liberty Lake filling. It's lesser known as a camping destination (but a perfectly pleasant spot).

I'm with MT in that I think you'll be ok as the camping season hasn't' officially opened yet, that's next weekend.

here's reservation info for STATE parks,(Riverside, has showers)

Liberty Lake, scroll to bottom,

first come first serve, no reservations.

the rock roll that does need some dirt is the last one before the sprint to the end

it's a downhill course. you can race XC on other weekends.

Kyle,

Thanks, Kyle! My sentiments exactly, unless something is really whacked. We'll be out Friday morning setting rebar and PVC. I'll take my McLeod and a shovel but no guarantees I'll have time to do any touch-up. Lotta stuff going on.

fastest line is hop into the top and pump the bottom. nice little G out, but still tons of speed for the doubles.

CHECK IT CHECK IT 1...2...1....2
I have made reservation at Riverside Campground for Sat-Mon. So if anyone needs a place to camp, let me know. I also have an extra 2 man tent if you planned on sleeping in your car (which I've done a few times at Skibowl).

Kyle,

I'm pretty sure they were talking about the last roller at the bottom

 

[freeridekid]

idk about everybody else, but i was talking about the little rock roll right before the 5 set. i am fine with smoothing it out because it is relatively smooth anyway except for that one spot where there is like a rock sitting in a little hole in the slickrock. its like you have a relatively smooth/simple rock roll that is not hard with or w/o the one little rock at the bottom. all that rock is doing is creating an opportunity for pinch flats/bent rims, not providing any challenge to the rider. therefore its pointless and should be smoothed out.

besides, it is the entry to a set of smooth doubles, so its kind of ironic that people want to make it rough.

 

[Eren]

^^ word, i dented my rim there.

a dent in a 2350 sux ass

 

[thom9719]

^^ I guarentee I've hit that section a couple hundred times, and I've never once had a problem with it. just pick the right line and your good.

Kyle,

 

[Eren]

yea, but when your hauling balls sometimes you get off your lines, and especially when its wet, slick rock

 

[hungryleprican]

thats probly where i got the dent that i could see the bead of my tire

 

[MinorThreat]

Policy is generally not to sanitize the race course. I'll look at it, but if it's a rock that 'grew' there, I'm not moving it. If hitting it with a dot of flourescent marking paint will help you miss it, that might be a possible.

C'mon folks, this is already one of the most groomed, baby's-butt-smooth courses in the country; let's not get silly about it.

 

[Eren]

or you could agp it, tried that a few weeks ago, not easy to do

exactly. my girlfriend does the section just fine, and like I said, I've never had a problem, although your probally a TON faster than me

Kyle,

 

[Eren]

^^ kyle you racin jr x? or maybe that was freeridekid?

and who else on heres racing jr x? think theres gonna be more than the 4 last year

 

[thom9719]

nah, I'm racing open. I wanted to race expert, but I would need a license, and when we timed the runs, my times worked better with open anyways.

Kyle,

 

[freeridekid]

yeah i am racing jr ex.

but its hard to say about the "nature" of the rock roll-in, cuz it looks like there was a hole in the main rock that someone filled with a loose rock. i only rode it for my second time a few weeks ago, but as far as i can remember its hard not to hit it if you're jumping off the top of the rock and landing toward the bottom on the outside to set up for the turn. maybe you can go even further outside to avoid it?

 

[downhillracer]

I'm pretty sure they were talking about the last roller at the bottom

thats what i was talking about

 

[SteezyWeezy]

oh you guys and your rocks:biggrin: im stoked, it'll be my first time there

 

[downhillracer]

[Eren]
