Stupid question.. For the race registration do I send the paypal payment to dirtybirddhrace@gmail.com ?
Hawksnest ProDH track preview video
- Thread starter motomike
- Start date
Pre-registration is over now. Just bring cash or check tomorrow morning.
The tracks are taped and ready to go. They both got shredded proper today and are breaking in nicely.
Its an XL. I was just shy of 6' when I bought it, and it fit pretty well. You're welcome to try it on. I'll be the one with the camera driving the (lowers voice) Prius.
As an apology for the spam. SHredddddd......

had a blast even with a busted knee! the bird is, by far, the best race in the southeast. everything from the course to the sponsors to the racers and families makes this event memorable.
Thanks again DBRP for another great race!
oh yeah...Maxxi loved it too! she was so tired from hanging with all of you that she fell asleep sitting up on the way home

You know it's a nasty wound when photobucket gives you the boot.

I'd like to thank everyone for leaving so the sun would come back out from hiding behind the clouds.
Weird how that happens

Face up to it. Where you go...freakish weather goes. On your drive across country, I'm pretty sure there were a couple of natural disasters chasing you through the Plains states.http://www.booneweather.com/Forecast/Seven+Devils

haha, well the conditions were just a little different than when I was riding it in the dry last week.
Seems like you still put in a good time though
A huge thanks to all the folks at Dirty Bird Productions! It was an awesome weekend and both new tracks were killer.

Look at that rock garden.
No wonder so many of us crashed in there. You could hear the crowd yelling up at the start gate and I was so amped coming in that I didn't take my safe/practice line. I just went for it. Now looking at how greasy those rocks and roots were, its no wonder that I didn't make it. Probably wouldn't do it any different with the same conditions. Had fun thanks to the crowd.
it was my 661 strait armor....never wearing soft armor for DH again. it works great for DS/DJ's/trail riding but this is the 2nd time i've been hurt THROUGH the pad. i didn't even know it was split open until i finished my run...just felt like a bruise. that laceration happened with the pad in place, it never slid down...just impacted so hard that it split my knee open. back to the Roach DH armor for me.
Yea, everytime I saw someone go by I was hoping they would make it through there with no trouble/crashes. One guy actually came within half a foot of me, he took the furthest right line (looking down the track) along the tape!Look at that rock garden.
I was the one with the super loud cowbell and airhorn!
I managed to grab a pretty awesome shot of your dismount in the rock garden.Look at that rock garden.
I'll have that image plus a few others to post in the next day or so...
Excellent. I really want to see a crash complilation video from in there. From the sounds of it, there should be a lot of footage. But again, the crowd was awesome.I managed to grab a pretty awesome shot of your dismount in the rock garden.
Why was it the only thing I could ride worth a crap on the course was the rocks?
No way! We are way too aggro. We could only muster Spartacus handshakes
I'm still mad about missing the race....but I guess I did have to have a birthday party for my son's first bday, ha.
any word on the official results yet? I didn't make the podium of course and I was just curious about my time...no rush, though. Did anyone get shots of the intro/am classes? I know I saw a bunch of photogs out there all weekend long
Steven has the results on his computer, but his internet isn't working right now. Plus, he's out in the woods playing with a new chainsaw right nowany word on the official results yet?

Priorities, you know
Well as everyone has already said, Gazzi 3.0 sized props to the Dirty Bird crew for putting one of the best DH events I have ever been to. It was quintessential grassroots DH racing at its best. Great crowd, excessive use of cowbells thanks to the DB crew (Will Ferrell woulda been proud), fun course layouts, supremely loud canon shots, World Cup-esque speed trap thanks to Tubby, awesome prizes, Trill Will on the mic, Schlitz beer = Superb atmosphere and overall vibe. Wish the weather would cooperate the whole weekend one of thesedays, but the AM track really firmed up by race time and was a freaking blast. Here are a few pics of some Pros (click to enlarge) -
THE MULE!!
The Tennessee Titan himself, Mr. Harley (post rock crushing crash)
Uh oh...
The Butch
The incredibly slow and clumsy Andy Devault
I think this is Dan Ennis
RACER GREG!!!
I think this is Will Obrien, and his flex noodle fork
More fork flexing
Ethan, after being jumped by camo man
Dogboy, with his sweet prizes
FEAR THIS!
Congrats to Matt Adams for making a successful comeback to the top of the podium after a series of sh!tty injuries, congrats to Team Grom - as Herdon's boys cleaned up, congrats to the top Jr. Expert who finished only a tenth of a second off the fastest overall time, congrats to Dogboy & Mike Calhoune for a solid run to the podium, and of course congrats to Racer Greg for a big win!
In summary, huge props to my Uncle Robert for supplying the 2010 Fox 40 to the top junior, altho I still think I got the best prize. I'm going to be so ripped for the next race.
Finally, we need speed trap results!!!
