4x Downhill here I come!
erm, sadly i'm not racing big bear
ill be there!
Oh I'm so there... 4X Downhill is going to rule, and I'm already practicing my elbowing technique. How much do you want to bet that there is at least one stupid "Mediflight jump" on that course.
I sure hope not.
How bout us Pro and Semi-pro monkies take an oath to at least not take each other out. I'd rather have fun and race the whole season than sit it out with an injury.
double A elbow all the way! I'll make you a deal, don't take me out, I won't take you out!
As for the jump, i can almost guarantee they will do something retarded like that. One that isn't wide enough for 4 at a time I'm sure. LAME.
See above! Monkey pledge of no stupidity *(unless you clean out karim amour, then I buy you a beer)
Wuahahahaha!!!
hopefully nobody well be "karimed"
btw is he really still racing?
didnt hear a word of him since he left Vprocess
i believe he is, that guy is a douche nozzle.
i wanna head up there and race. when is it exactly.
thanks
thanks
I will be there. Thankfully, I haven't sent in an upgrade request so I get to ride DH. 
I just can't risk getting hurt at Big Bear racing 4 man DH when it is the first race of six weekends in a row.
Big Bear
US Open
Mohican (Ohio)
Snowshoe
Mount Snow
Marquette Mountain DH (Michigan)
That is all back to back weekends. Btw: driving sucks. The closest one of those is a 6 hour drive (each way).
I can't really put a finger on what I don't like about the 4 man DH thing. BMX and Mountain X is no problem. Motocross is no problem.

Experts/Junior Experts will practice and race on Westridge
That's from Team BB's site. Does anybody know Westridge? Is that last year's Sport course?

Morgan will be there
I'll probablly wander up there and shoot some pictures. I don't have the money for entry fees right now, if I'm going to pay just to have fun I'll do it some other weekend when I can get more than two runs in, and I'm too out of shape to think I'd do well anyways.
I'll be the guy standing in the worst place possible with a gigantic flash going off in your eyes.

the thing that sucks about 4 man DH....youdon't have a motor...so if you stuff a guy while you're in third and he's in second...you ain't gonna catch first place. You lose your momentum with the contact and the dude up front takes a taxi home.
never have liked it...i like being against the clock.
2 man Dh...that was cool

4 man DH is gonna be killer.
We do it with way more riders than that and call it Chinese Downhill (from Hot Dog - The Movie)
Anything goes, but do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
You can practise in the parking lot with some buds and call it derby.
Elbows up, knees out and let's get ready to rumble!!

Haven't you read the thread mike? heh. We are setting up quasi-treaties for no stupid tactics. ha
Yeah, I read the thread, but I'm signing no treaties dammit! I need all the help my fat arse can get!
I may be slow, but I'm pretty friggin adept at the derby when things get tough!
I think I've found my niche, any ideas when will they have a NMBS derby category?
I'm afraid I'll be skipping BB this year, but I'd love to see the 4 up DH take off.
Wish I could be joining the fray, just remember to keep it clean!

I'm not sure what that Ohio race is, but you should head up to Plattekill if its not that important. THey are running a race that weekend and its only a little over 2 hours from mountain creek, and it should be an awesome race.Originally posted by ChrisKring

Oh yea and I'll be at Big Bear, pitting with the evil/e13 guys and wearing an HCOR Jersey.
4 man Dh sounds fun to me.... Especially if you have some tree sections with 3 or 4 different lines to mix it up.... So many possibilities...

Yup, lasts years sport course is the expert course. I really liked that course as it has a little bit of everything on it... Wide open fireroad with table top jumps, tight tree section, open single track and even a nice uphill...
I get to race logchute...
That's cool. I heard good things about that course last year though I never got to ride it. I will miss the poorly designed, afterthought doubles down a wide open fire road but I guess you can't have it all.
Luc, it's always a good idea to pre-register to save a little $$. There was a time when the class might fill up, but those days are long gone. I can't remember anyone in Expert being turned away at a National in at least the last few years.
On a different note, do you still need a place to stay? If so, email me.

I've always registered on the spot. I never really could tell whether I wanna race it or not until I get there and settled. I dunno why but I guess I decide to when I feel like it.
They never really close registration due to size of the field but be ready to wait in lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnng line. As I look at the long line issue, I think it's a good way to socialize -and Luc, you need to do that more, you hermit!
Get ready to pedal, y'all!!! Westridge!
Will it require more than 4 crank revolutions? That's my limit for DH races.Originally posted by Acadian
is Westridge that pedally? Maybe time to bust out my toe straps?
uhh huh... You're screwed...
So this is one of those "uphill" downhills? Good to know Team BB is keeping their reputation for course design excellence intact.
Where is everyone staying? Just booked a room at Motel 6... They still have space if you need a place to stay...
I believe that is also where i am staying The one 5 mins away?
