There's probably 10-12 world cup qualifier types in the field.....it's not the series Akula, it's the promoters. The series has a deep history, ranks second behind the World Cup....but it needs a new direction. It needs new ideas and a new way to run the whole thing.....the current model has failed....and with no money it's failing even harder...

I'm not denying that the NMBS/NORBA whatever is a failure, all I was doing was pointing out the facts to some dude who posted that there is only gonna be -1 top riders there, that's all! I'm sure Fontana is absolute wank, not denying that for a second, the whole mtb world is well aware that Norba hates me/you and everyone else!

Some dude just said there ain't gonna be any "Pro's" there, I said there are gonna be at least 6 rippers there, then Fraser said he can only count 5, then I said I can count 8-9 top riders.............i'm talking numbers not politics!

Ahhhhhh, Ridemonkey is a barrel of laughs!

As Mike Tyson says: "I don't know nothing about numbers, I only know what I can do." Usually followed closely by "I'm a kill that motha ****er. If he ain't dead it don't count. If he ain't in a body bag, it doesn;t count."

I didn't read all the posts that carefully....this place makes the brain glaze over after awhile.....

...there were some fast guys there.....12 or so guys that are "Shoe-ins" to qualify for any world cup anywhere.....4-5 guys who could podium in any race in the world....is good to see Oscar Saiz out there being serious, great to see Kovarik on some world class tires....

In a healthy tension
This was by far the best National I have ever been to in the last six years. Organized, no delays, appropriate podium times, amazing course, good turn out and some of the best racing I have ever seen, anywhere anytime. Good to see racing's not dead. Not only not dead, but thriving! Lots of good,fast new racers. Should Shape up to be a really good year.
