I'd go if I had a hardtail to ride!

I would ask Lumberjack to borrow his again, but he may hate me right now for not showing up last sunday :(

Don't you have a cross country bike? Only one of us will be on a hartail...me and another girl will be on our full suspension bikes. I can lock it out though which is nice.

xc bike wont work well at all. you are too far out over the front wheel = endo!
trust me on this one we see it all the time at the outdoor tracks. the xc guys come down to sumner from victor falls to ride the bmx track like they were 17 again and splat.

i'm afraid none of my bikes would work, my xc bike is very xc and my 38lbs dh is the only full suspension i have! and my bmx is a heavy freeride-type

dang! i'm just going to have to get MORE kinds of bikes now!

seriously though, I'll try to scrounge a bike up and meet you guys for Sunday

Give him a call, you might be suprised, but you really must show this time, you have the number. ;) Call soon or it may be dedicated to someone else. :D

Stange. My husband raced last weekend on my Santa Cruz superlight and took first! Granted...he is an awesome rider...but I have rode that bike at the track in Seatac and had no problems..
There are few changes we will make for it to be more "BMX" friendly...

A downhillers XC bike setup tends to be more like a trailbike than a true XC race bike. Generally were talking riser bars, shorter stem length, seats that are/can be lowered, slightly more aggressive tires. The problem with a true XC race bike is you are much more over the front which is not an issue with your bikes.

Damn - I sooo much want to race. Very jealous.

Megan - if you want to race a bmx bike - you can always borrow my race bike, it's pretty light.

Thank you for the heads up! I am not really worried about going over the bars. I won't be doing anything cool enough to put me in that situation! Soon maybe! :)

Exactly. That is why I'm not too worried about it!
