Good pick on the helmet Mike. Like it better now that I see it.
Hawksnest 2010
- Thread starter Mulestar

Keep your ears peeled for a new race class at the Bird in the near future. It's called "Legends". Details coming soon, and we are gonna need some help from you all in digging some people out of the woodwork for this!
All those pics have me stoked. Can't wait to make it back to the bird in august.
Let the hype begin! I just lined up a 2010 Fox 40RC2 for the fastest Junior rider, thanks to Robert Buchan!!
Criminy, I think he should be referred to as "Saint Roberto" for that offering. The patron saint of cool people 
I will try to send something up as well

Yeah Ed, I think we should print up some pictures and put his face all over Hawksnest now haha. He hooked it up big time!
Yeah Will I heard you spotted it first. It looked too good not to be used
5.10 shoes are on board now.
Here's a quick edit that includes some sections of "The Salamander Slide" that will be used as the Am/Intro race track for Race #2 on August 21-22. We're building up footage right now to put out an edit that showcases both new tracks.
The fire hydrant jump is on the course...cool
For anybody needing a frame upgrade for the southie races..... Check out Transcends decked out Orange 224. Dude never rides so that frame should be RIDICULOUSLY nice.

So here's the word regarding online pre-reg for the August 21-22 race at the Dirty Bird. If you'd like to save $5 on your registration fee then you can pre-register online (we'll be running the payment through paypal just like last race). All you need to do is send us an E-mail to dirtybirddhrace@gmail.com that includes: your name, age/date of birth, gender, address, emergency contact, sponsor, and racing category.
Once we've received your e-mail we'll send you the paypal info. By pre-registering online you can save yourself the trouble of filling out an entry form at the venue (we'll have your entry form filled out so all you have to do is sign a waiver and go ride). You can also have $5 extra to spend on some ice cold beverages at the HESS station down the mtn (6.29 for a 12 of PBR). If anyone has any questions about the racing categories you may refer to the events page on our website www.dirtybirddh.com

checkout the hidden valley motel or smoketree lodge. both are close to the entrance to the mountain and both are some of the cheaper places in the area
i think it's around "move in" time for Appalacian State (start of fall semester), ran into the same troubles last year trying to find a decent cheap place. priceline seemed to work pretty well if you didn't mind where exactly it put you, i ended up in boone both times i used it.
what rates did those places i mentioned quote you? I wanna compare it to what i paid for the first race there back and june
Hidden Valley is $100/night. ( Thats where I am staying, they had 2 rooms left )
Smoketree was like $90/night but they didnt have anything available.
Thanks again for the suggestions on places to stay.
It's probably been posted on here already but what is the plan for the weekend? Practice Saturday/ race Sunday?

Yes, practice all day Saturday and race on Sunday. And yes, the race weekend is move-in weekend for App State freshmen so the hotels are going to be booked pretty solid. Plenty of camping spots in the area though, so just contact one of us for directions to a camping spot if you need it...
So my friend has never really ridden mountain bikes but hes doing a project where he will spend a lot of time learning. He has to compete in a race for his product but he can't find any would one of the tracks for hawkoween be easy enough for such a beginner? I also want him to do this so I have an excuse to go...
Unless your friend is a circus performer or professional stunt-man, downhill racing is probably not going to be a good idea for someone who " has never really ridden mountain bikes ". A cross country race would be a much more sane choice.
fvck that, dive head first
