The resort is closed for riding until the official practice time on saturday.
Will the collegiate dh racers be able to start practicing at 8:30 also (the collegiate race flyer says dh practice is from 10:00am to 3:30pm with racing starting at 4)?
yes, collegiate registration will be at the XC venue to start the day, and then moving up to Beech Mountain Resort. I'll get them the lift passes for the registration there.
Sooo did I miss anything or is the Redbull Nightshift still happening? There hasn't been any buzz about it here lately so just wondering if I need to prepare the lights?
The NightShift has moved venues to Clemson. Expect full details soon and awesome things to come.
What? Clemson? Man all the hype for Night Slalom then changing it to Sunday...
Now the RedBull Nightshift is moving to Clemson. Man you guys shouldn't put the info out there in the future without KNOWING it's going to happen. I know several people who are not coming now because they scheduled off for work on Friday to do the slalom. I am sure there will not be too many people happy to see the Night DH race cancelled as well. And this is the notice? Wow. Sucks!

Don't think I will be making the last race at Beech this year. Saving for a long riding weekend at Snow Shoe before the end of the year. If anyone wants to go up with us PM me. We will be going within the next Month.

Yup, I feel sorry for you GA and FL guys that plan your travel in advance only to have things change right before the event. I've personally known that the Night Shift wasn't going down but I guess they didn't really make a public announcement for all the home boys out of the High Country.
Thats pretty sweet that Clemson is getting the night shift, that should b rowdy
Speaking of rowdy, We just got the first few dump truck loads of dirt moved for an ASU collegiate Slalom...
I'll be out at beech in full force with the PA system. Expect some new tunes and lots of free Monster Condoms!
We'll be having shirts for all racers attending the downhill finals along with the grill running for lunch!
Is Anyone camping out anywhere?
I gotta say that last years Beech series was a lot better than this years.
yeah its all flat now with some uphill pedalling
well from that description i was told it sounds like it... what is it really like though anyone?
why not run the course from August? It was some good fun.
If that's true I don't feel so bad for not going...
I definitely won't be there.
i heard that there might be naked ladies in the trees...like syrens on the rocks at sea to lure sailors into the rocks!
i'm going because two other people have raced my intense before i've had the chance to do it on my own bike

i'm gonna have to punch someone in the nuts if there are uphills on a big mtn Dh course! maybe bizutch...i think it would be fun to punch him in the nuts.
Bring it. All I gotta do is stand near a rock and you'll get stitches there Captain Clutz.
better watch your back... I can think of someone that would love to give you a nut kicker from behind.Bring it. All I gotta do is stand near a rock and you'll get stitches there Captain Clutz.
I made it to all three races last year and had an absolute blast trying out DH. I had to bail on this year's races when i heard that it was a single day of practice/race. I can't justify all the driving/hotel/gas/etc for only one day on the mountain. hopefully things are a bit different next year.
LOL btw my comment was a joke....i had never ridden beech till today, haha...
Um basicaly it is a mud slide right now, lol

What? Are you just talking out of your ass?
Mudslide would be an understatement. I think you could count the riders that had good runs on one hand today.
That was the most physicallly taxing race I have had in a long time. I think everyone was just about worn out by the road crossing.
Stupid mud...still had fun.
Anyone know how I did? I had to leave at 5:30 so I would get home at a decent hour.
No, its much more than just one person
So how was the new trail? How about the turnout? Who stood on the podium in expert? Come on with some details fellas.
I suggest they all man up, ride their bikes and show up at the races and put down a timed run. THis thread's about a race. If people got beef, send it to PM's.
