no tree drop. that drop was there for forever. hopefully we will get something semi challenging in there before the race
ETSU Spring Race - Nationals Qualifier
- Thread starter tbird0216
- Start date
Think about our last experience on Buffalo. I'd peddle that thing a million times over before I ever took the alternative again.Wait a min? People do that?
Would love to see more Super D's in the South!

Can someone give me a address that I can put it my GPS to get there?
First page, first post, reference the flyer for the addy.
i will be doing some trail work to the dh making it a bit more smooth around the edges. we are gonna put up a temporary feature where the tree drop used to be, what exactly that will be is still undecided. im gonna groom the berms and fix the lips of all the jumps. so it will be hardtail friendly. but going fast on a hardtail will require some serious skill. 5-6 inches of travel would be optimal for this coarse
Got a crew coming over Thursday afternoon to pre-ride, sounds like its gonna be sweet!
Awesome! I got out there and wounjd up putting in a lot more time in than I expected. The upper half is muuch different and there is a completely new and very crucial feature that could determine the entire race. Please let me know how you like it.
Randy, where are you guys staying?
We are just going to drive up and ride Thursday afternoon and drive back. I am interested in seeing this > "very crucial feature that could determine the entire race" < I'll give a trail beta report Thursday night.
Are you guys going to be there Sat? Racing?
Yeah....racing? maybe ~ heckling=Yes
Shark tank?
I was thinking more of...... Strap Butch to a pallet between a gap jump and see how many people come up short or case it.
Oh-noes the last thing you want is to actually come in contact with Butch.I was thinking more of...... Strap Butch to a pallet between a gap jump and see how many people come up short or case it.
Then you and I had better brush up on our jumping skills by the weekend.
I'm such a photo whore, I might could be persuaded if it meant a cover shot of it on PB. The way you post, I'd be an internationally trending topic in an hour flat.I was thinking more of...... Strap Butch to a pallet between a gap jump and see how many people come up short or case it.
I kid.
I'm not sure if I'll make it this weekend but I just wanted to throw out for those on the fence -- the DS at ETSU is the most fun racing I've ever done. Everyone is all smiles and it's not competitive at all. Hell, I lost to someone 20 years my senior and it was freakin' awesome.
Better bring your wardrobe and make up crew this time Butch, in case I am hiding in the bushes again with my camera like I was at Clemson.I'm such a photo whore, I might could be persuaded if it meant a cover shot of it on PB.

Hey, if I can bring some light to the SE racing scene with posting on PB or FB, then my job is done. All press is good press.
Don't get your hopes too high. Expert/pro racers won't even notice a problem but cat 2 and down will really struggle to go fast. its made to be hard to go fast through and there is no middle ground. If you mess up you lose a lot of time.
?????
I'm going with Butch's theory, up hill section to a shark tank gap jump
I am out. Hand is all kinds of broke. Please rail berms in my honor.
Ah ha! Maybe they put fence down both sides of the track about 38 inches apart. Hope that heals quick!
Was this accomplished riding?I am out. Hand is all kinds of broke. Please rail berms in my honor.
Yes, I put my pinky finger into a chain link fence and the rest of me kept going.
Consumer reports does not recommend this behavior.
Pump track right into the dog kennel?
@ full speed.
Holy fvck.
Sorry to hear that Jeremy. Rest of the crew still going?
I know Matt and Dave are still going, but I do not know about the rest. I HATE missing that slalom.
Trails are open any time. Show up whenever ye want. Its a short walk for a very rewarding ride. Slalom is also open whenever. But its in a different spot from the DH. PM me for a cell number, ill give you detailed directions to both.
My wife and I should be there just after lunch tomorrow. Plan to walk it, then ride it. Look for the brightest POC jerseys out there this weekend or stop by the MK tent (we'll have the smaller one, the 10x20 won't be in until next Tues.... dang it).
Oh Mr. Crickets? Where art thou?
He may be sitting tonight out. i think he had a few too many scares going over that shark tank.
A 4" travel bike with lots of "POP" would be ideal. If you are good at dirt jumps you will do well.Not my kind of course, and not a course for an 8" travel bike.If you can pop off those dirt lips you'll make it over the shark tank!-with lazers and fire!
