Dude, I was out showing my friend bar-humping today, and my nose got about 2 inches away from getting rubbed off by my tire. I think I am getting too good at these things. :rolleyes:

Nope, not unless they are new since last year. The mountain cross course is huge though, and super fun. The new power-line trail should be sweet also.

Escape: What does (I am clueluss) does cpj stand for?

I hope they have um so i dont have to spend my days on powerline and the DS coarse
aparently you've never seen the MTX course. $20.00 says you won't do everything on your hardtail! :evil:

Seriously, this thing is like godzilla! It's so fast a big that DH bikes can be competitive on it. You won't get bored.

And there is also a skatepark, with like 4 tiny doubles next to it.

lol i wont have a problem doing most things on the coarse.... my BMX DJ backround keeps me going on bigger jumps and im pretty smooth from that...DH bikes dont hold speed as well as a hardtail btw so it would be easyer for me to jump things... but out on the DH coarse you will all kick my ass and leave me in the dust... and i cant wait to hit the skatepark looks better then the one we got localy.

You are probably gonna want a full suspension on the downhill course, those trails are rough. They are very rocky, rooty, and muddy as crapp. (Atleast after it rains.)

Haha just got back from Snowshoe!!!!!!!!! The place is better than ever! The MTX course is pretty mellow this year, but there is a triple that was basically impossible. The freeride park was off the hook as well. And for the Western Territory, well, that was insane. All of the new trails are top-notch, and absolutely DH bike trails. Nothing else. Definitely try to hit Hairball when yur up there. And the Powerline trail is gonna be sooooo schweet! I think that that place doubled my skills over the weekend without a doubt.

And for oscer, if you ride that hardtail up there, you're gonna get dominated. There is no such thing as "picking lines" on those trails.

My feet slipped off the pedals going to fast over a double, and I kept going straight up the berm and fell off the other side. (On the orange rental stinky) I want to rent the new one (05') or a bighit, cause I dont like quick releases on downhill bikes. (04' Stinky has them) :nuts:

yes, I did. The course was new and pretty choppy. Still alot of work to do to it. I was just blown away at the length of the thing. By the bottom, you will be exhausted for sure. I'm working on be there for Monster Park, but not the camp. :evil:
