I was going to come and race XC, but I might feel ballzee and do DS. I am getting back to most activities, but it hurts like hell to pull on handlebars or do anything aggresive so I have been exclusively on the road. Lost 10 pounds and feeling pretty good. Jonesing to race!!!

OK, so I found out we can leave to go up there saturday morning.
Anyone want to meet at county park in the afternoon for some riding? The kids and I had fun there last year.

What is the registration time? I know some bmxers itchin to race some MTB.
registration is usually around 8-9.


i was out w/ mike today while he was running the bobcat. there's gonna be some killer changes. bigger stuff, better passing area, huge triple if you're crazy enough to try it.

oh yeah, can we have a "bmx crossover" class? i'm tired of racing bmx pro's that race beg or sport because "it's my first MTB race" :rolleyes: ;) :rant: :busted:

cp still need a lot of work, especially with the "super lip" that someone built up. you have to brake check through the berm now to keep from landing flat over the table.

Like manimal said, mucho changes. Someone please take pics. Thanks to Manimal, Steven, and Edwin for the shovel help. Hopefully by Friday afternoon the whole thing will be rideable. As for the registration question go to www.paulsracing.com the flyer should be posted now. I'm not sure of the times. Been too busy.

Don't worry Ncbmxpro will be in the pro/expert class. Glad to see he's still around.

yeah, sure it does...if they race you fast guys in the expert/semi-pro class. but a expert/semi-pro bmx'r has no place racing sport

:nopity: Then move up to expert:lighten:
Just kidding, don't hit me with your nightstick:bonk:

The reason they do that is they don't want to buy a full license for 1 race. Can't blame them.
I don't want to get a BMX license just so I can do gate practice before slalom races. With the recent BMX Facist crackdown in GA, being a parent of 3 licensed racers doesn't count anymore. :disgust:

That would really suck if a pro raced sport or less. In my 7 years racing MTB I have never personally witnessed a pro bmxer racing anything less than X.

Anyway, I most likely wont be there but I will let the NC BMX pro contingent know about the race.

Jason, what's up man? That's a shame you can't make it. Alex Gore is thinking about racing it. I need to see if Larev and Nobles know about it. If they show up and Herndon& company too, it's on.
There's going to be some trackside betting. Nobles went to Chuck's race and just owned everyone.

What qualifies a bike to be in the big bike class. Mine has 6.5" of travel and weighs 34.5lbs. I ran into someone today that though a bike had to weigh 38lbs or over.
