Time for a Gravity East race to come a little farther south..or it might be time to change the name to Gravity Northeast. lol

Yep thats it. Mountain is under new ownership and opening next year for lift accessed MTB.
Another place to ride!!

I know for a fact they reach out to a bunch of venues, not their fault if everyone that wants to host a race is north of the Mason-Dixon. That being said, I wish there were more a little further south as well. Either way I'm looking forward to the series as usual.

Ya I do believe they tryed to get Beech...They want to run thier own mountain thing. True that!

 

[Huck Banzai]

All for Gravity NE; NC, WV, etc are already a huge stretch for a 7 race series. Screw the south (really).

Swallow before you retort.

 

[daisycutter]

No platty next year?

 

[Huck Banzai]

No platty next year?

really! THE one DH spot that has existed before and through others - a definition of DH in the East and it's not on the menu?

There is some politics or stupidity involved in that! ESC should not, shouldnt want, exclusive access to Platty.

Uber not good.

After what happened at Reading last month, I'm glad to see that it's on the schedule. I realize that can change though. EC

Yes we did, and others south as well.........

If this is true than it is time for us as riders to let our slopes know that this is something we want.

 

[bizutch]

It should be called Gravity Yo!

All of us in the South need to push Beech into allowing an outside vendor to put on an event like this. There is still an open date I was told this am.

 

[mattmatt86]

I was hoping it was going to go to beech, I'd rather drive to NC than NY. I was hoping to make a Beech Race/pisgah trail bike vacation out of it.

not to start a flame war but thats what should have been going on years ago when the GE and that other series starting making headway, primarily in the NE.

 

[dirtyjungle]

Your right but now we have a legit venue to hold events like this. The managment at beech need to know things like this are going to make them money not the "Micky Mouse" beech race seris.
