[ridiculous]

We got a ton of work done this month and are starting to near completion and trying to gather interest. I finally walked the trail this weekend and took pictures of everything thus far.

We are trying to get permissions for our race as of now the proposed dates are April 14th or 21st.

Any feedback is much appreciated! If you would be interested in racing could you also make a post.

Thanks for looking
This course was designed with fun in mind as well as speed, we also tried to incorporate many different styles of riding. So there is a little bit of air but everything is rollable or avoidable at race speed.


Ladies and Gentlemen Clemson Freeride presents Huervos del Tigre.

The start area (not finished but will have a start gate and all and a double at that mound)

small step

the start of scorpion chutes

Walll ride section obviously unfinished, just trying to get some more lumber.

the drop

across the fireroad

step down (missing roller section)

step up finish line

Did a good bit of shuttling this weekend I think times are going to be in the 3 min area.

 

[TrekBro]

"huervos del tigre"?

well done, nice trail.

 

[Cliff13]

Looks super fun! Seems like clemson has some fun stuff

 

[haulin'oates]

looks fun, would there be a HT class at said "proposed" race? What about the old DS course?

 

[ridiculous]

i dont know about the HT class.

The old DS course is not raceable, its way to sketch in its current state. Clemson just clear cut a ton of land that we were planning on building a ton more stuff on which will probably include a ds course.

 

[ATOMICFIREBALL]

Well that looks fun. I invision fast rippers on thier mountaincross hardtails whipping through it.
Yeah,"NO HORSES" ,ya know that's really for thier own safety too!Can you see Jimbob going over those drops on his stallion!

 

[So-EastMatt]

Mad props on all the work you guys have put in out there-especially in light of all the stuff you guys have had to put up with in the last couple of weeks. For anyone who hasn't ridden it yet, this trail flows from top to bottom. After seeing the dedication of the guys working on it, it's only going to get better between now and April.

 

[Mike Fitz]

Looks like a lot of fun.
Might have to put it on the calender.

 

[CLos]

Doesn't look very steep. Looks like a pedaling course. Will you have different classes or is it all open.

 

[escapeartist]

That course looks like a whole lot of fun.

Just a suggestion, make sure everything is packed and ridden in really well. Its probably because your just building, but some of that looks a little loose. A day full of racers with stupid big tires and its anyones guess as to what it'l look like.

 

[ridiculous]

there will be different classes. There is a pedal section but its not to bad.

 

[manimal]

wow, looks really fun and plenty long where is clemson?

 

[TCP21]

wow, looks really fun and plenty long where is clemson?

do we need to get u directions tubby. its in SC

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Great job guys. It looks like it's a lot more fun than the '01 course. It should make for some good racing.

 

[dhbuilder]

looks like you guys have put in a ton of man hours.

not to criticise, but you really need to take a chainsaw down through there and get rid of all the extra width of logs that you have sticking out everywhere on the sides of your jumps.

1/
they're going to be a hazard for people who are less than skilled at holding a line while jumping.
trust me on this one, you're going to have every newb from states around riding that trail and skidding and crashing along every section.

2/
anyone who does get off line and clobbers those things, will tear up the jump when they dislodge em.
they hit the first one in line and there goes the leading edge of the jump.

3/
it just looks more professionally built.
and since it sounds like you've already ruffled feathers (x-c jealosy/ horseback riders ?))just by being in there.
you don't want to create more of any eyesore in there eyes than they already think it is.

looks like you'll have a lot of fun this spring and summer.
these suggestions might help you spend more time riding and less time repairing.

 

[FCLinder]

John it looks good. Take in consideration on your race dates that we are planning to have the Paris Mt. Super D race on April 22nd. I don't think having two different races in the same weekend is good. At this time we are only going to have one race now and it will be on the 22nd. The first race that we had planned to put on March 25th is not going to happen. I will post more information in a new post.

Thanks

yeah that is in our plans, our good chain saw was just recently stolen so we are waiting for someone to bring one back from home hopefully very soon.

Damn, we were really hoping to gather some attention from the people doing the Tiger Rag, which is also that weekend. I guess we can move back to the 14th.

Sorry man. I wish I would have known, but that date is what we have submitted for to NORBA, our Timing guy, and the State park.

I can bring my chainsaw this Sunday (the 3rd) if you all want to borrow it to clean things up, but I can't leave it.

 

[BKQuill]

or if someone can get out there during the week, I can try to get to out there around 3:00/3:30.

Buh? Sunday is the 4th!!!!

 

[BKQuill]

Buh? Sunday is the 4th!!!!

oster_oops: that'll work too.

 

[ridiculous]

we may take you up on that offer. I need to get with my guys and see what times are best. I was thinking about doing a Friday Sunday work weekend rather than friday and sat.

 

[ATOMICFIREBALL]

Matt, you're welcome to use the DH/DS group
http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/dh-ds/ to post your flyer and dates on the calender so we can all plan accordingly. And if you're having workdays especially, do an announcement and fire it over there so everyone can know.

Yes, everything is rollable or will be after this weekend. I can only think of one thing(last creek gap) that isnt rollable, but there will be an alternate line.

 

[PhettyG]

The place looks like alot of fun. I did some racing there a few years back and had a blast. always willing to help with a ds course.

 

[ridiculous]

yeah we are going to start over on the DS course as the university just did some clear cutting.

Some mtn. boarder has been out there trying to groom stuff. There will be a DS course on the collegiate circuit this fall thats all i know.
Whether its the new or old has yet to be decided.

 

[haulin'oates]

if some people were willing to help set-up a course would you let 'em run it?
