For some reason the scene from Boondock Saints where Willem Dafoe is in bed with the asian dude just popped into my mind.

Oh and Travis......Duh, I know your just itching to get back out here
how long is the flat section by the wall?
40 seconds approximately? 1/4 mile? very rough distance estimate
ugh! 40 second sprint on flat at the end of the race...that is brutal!

i've been racing there for the last 10 yrs so if i was cryin i'd stopped racing there yrs ago. training? more power to u real racerz
most of the time theres a 20+ mph head wind and on bad days 30-40
geez. how many people puke there then?
This is why people complain about the wall its a long flat run that is against a stucco fence with houses on one side and a 15-20' hill on right and the wind races through there like a wind tunnel. Now its not the puking that gets you, its the dust that you inhale really hard and have a rasp voice as well as a scratchy throat for a fair bit afterwards.
Thats where the XC guys make time cause god knows they arent making it up in the rocks and corners! The wall is infamous as in it will make you or brake you!!! They took the wall out 1 race and I ran accross the finish line through the last jont before a rock garden and through it with my bike on my shoulders with the chain and der stuck in the rear wheel and still was only 4-5 seconds off 2nd and 7 off 1st. most of the time on podium and thats with the wall and battling the xc guys! The wall SUCKS!
Take the wall out and the standings will change dramatically from expert on down to beginner, pros are obviousley in really good shape most of the time with good training and cardio.
Theres alot of people that take it ewasy up top and pedal the crap out of the wall and fire road. Usually the same people that race the xc stuff and super D the day before.
I say eliminate the wall add some drops and tech gnar and it'll be fair. It will definently make some of the riders rethink how good they really are!
Best race there is when I had the chain suck into the back wheel, a rock section that was all or nothing and damn it was fun, pin it and RAIL it HARD! Just react as you go into it full speed. Unfortunently that wont ever be added again as its the section in the bmc productiuon pinned or whatever its ws called a video that came out recently. Man people were all over those rocks like lizards trying to warm in the sun all sprawled out!
I laughed my @$$ off it was great. First gnar section and they all hovered over it trying to find a line vs. just get in there and get out!Jon Kranked has raced it, hes aware of the wall!
Man what a good race.

how big of a mountain is this place? and how far from LA is it?
im guessing its shuttle service?

This lat race I dropped a 2.45. its not that big, there is a fair amount of pedalling involved. Usually pretty flowy, sometimes tere are more rock sections than other times. Sometimes you have to sprint the wall, sometimes you dont.
Travis, quit blaming the wall for missing the podium, If I can get off the seat and spin out the 11 tooth, you can too Mr I have a Canfeild Jedi the best pedalling bike ever!!!
Oh yeah, Al is sitting right in front of me again for take off, I caught him out of the lower rocks this past race, He was trying not to puke

OUCH!!!!!!! I would take the 40sec Wall over this.
We have all done it, you get used to the toxic dirt after a bit. The first time you get kinda dizzy, then a little hi, then its just dirt your wiping off with your third arm
damn...i bet he tasted that cali dirt all day
What are you talking about I was 3 rd over all in sport and never pedalled the wall once. When I got the jedi I got 1st thats why Im moving to expert at sea otter and nationals!
You just moved to sport Dustin, and I know without pedaling the wall my times are good! Not to mention I stayed in the younger class which was faster than my age group!
Lets take it to Angel fire, NM or deer valley, UT possibly Tamarack, schweitezer or Brundige Idaho, bootleg NV, tunnel Knapps or cold springs and see where the times fall!
I hold my own and the gnarlier it is the faster I am!
The Wall sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's why you let go of the bars when you crash....
The mountain isn't that big. Couple hundred feet at most. Middle of LA more or less. They rarely run any of the "hard" courses anymore, and you are then stuck with that wall BS.
They need to bed in some slower nastier tech lines to make the times longer and do away with that wall section altogether. It's supposed to be a DH race, not half a DH race then a flat sprint for half your run. The coolest event I ever did out there was a collegiate a long time ago that used the old pro course and ended at the road.

its in the middle of LA??
Google "Fontana, CA"
no its not the middle of LA. More like Riverside, almost San Bernadino. Its 2 hours from where I lived, which was on the beach in the South Bay.
I could also drive two hours to the other end of the 405 and still be in LA.
okay, i know where Rancho Cucamonga is...but i wouldnt say its in the middle of LA
