starts this aft with the bikercross, tomorrow the garb dh......it's been raining for a few days now, things are wet.....shouldn't affect the bsx too much as it's pretty worn in, dual slalom track is looking awesome, but was super wet and slimy when I checked it out wed. evening....it needed the moisture to pack in, but now we need some heat to pack it and set it up right for next week.......it's slick up top for the garb dh, and they've had to forgo some new trail that just turned to complete mush in the past two days.....fingers crossed that things clear up this aft/tomorrow! should hopefully have updates every night after the events.....seeing as I'm on the wagon and shouldn't get mired down in alcohol fueled shenanigans......

Make sure the sun is out for our arrival next week. Thanks

DS track, the upper part, lower continues after what's shown here with a big roller and then 3 flat tight corners, then more deep pocket berms.....it's radness!

 

[stiksandstones]

Holy smokes! look at that, so much work involved, impressive.
Breaking out the 99' chris herting hardtail for my chicks slalom debut hahaha. Should be fun, sans mud.

Thanks for the pics, much appreciated.

to anyone that has never been there or thinks that that course is big in the pics, you really dont get a feel for how huge it is

serious work went into that course, all the courses really and it definitely should be an event to see

i'm so stoked to be there for the first time. i want to ride the slalom and 4X courses so bad, but it just depends if camp ends early enough and if they aren't in use all of the time. Bummer about the rain, we just had about 20 minutes of overnight rain at my house 3 nights ago, but otherwise, there hasn't been rain for many months here. i hope garbo isn't a mess.

So this schedule of NEXT WEEK slalom is not correct anymore????
http://crankworx.com/dat/athletesched_july1.pdf

says slalom starts thursday the 26th and finals are friday?

If they moved it up a week in advance, I must have missed the press release.

 

[muddyfox]

Rain tomorrow, showers Sunday, getting sunny on Monday/Tuesday

 

[stiksandstones]

can anyone confirm flipfantasia saying slalom is tomm????

 

[muddyfox]

I think flipfantasia is actually retarded, DS on Friday July 27, bikercross is this Saturday July 21

 

[stiksandstones]

^ had me in a bit of a panic....

The canadians are really jackin sh1t up lately in here. Is massive amounts of weed legal now in canada?

 

[muddyfox]

What do you mean "now"? It always has been, why do you think we're so friendly?

jesus it is dumping like mad out there. just was at the marz tent with vanderslam and lopes both were saying how hairy the course was up top. new feature for the end instead of the garbo line is a sniper line between the middle and big drop hip'd into the middle drops landing. 4x practice is today, only one kid on a stats bike and kit riding it. wayy to wet today to be on it.
