This weekend is the first weekend at Port Orchard for indoor racing. I can't make it this weekend, but who's all going? holliswood, benbmx, scvpp, tonic?

you would think - but no. You don't want to race holliswood or Bart?

I know in the past they've run an all woman's class - you just need at least 3.

undecided at this point. the blur-4x is still in pieces following the beat-down it took @ crankworx although i do have the shock back from progressive... more likely i'll be out there for the 2nd weekend of racing.

Five, when do you plan to attend? it'll be cool to not be the only rider on a non-hardtail.

TBD for me. We shipped the Xbox 360 versions of Xbox Live and Xbox.com this week so I've had 30 hrs. straight of work on both Mon/Tues and Thurs/Fri. I'm beat to hell right now. I've got the chameleon all built up and ready, so if i don't make it this weekend, i'm out there next for sure.

SW, Beav, Burl and I will be at the next race weekend on Sunday. We generally carry an extra ht if anyone wants to get out on the track and give it a try. To race the mtb class you need an ABA cruiser license. Mike lets the mtbs run total points so we get more track time. Five how the hell are you? I haven't gotten to pester you in a long time.

FYI :-)
Mike will group the MTB riders into age or gender groups if there is enough riders to make a class (3).

Awww shucks! I didn't know you missed me...

I'll be at indoor this weekend (Nov 5/6). Definetely on Sunday to race mtb class. I may do 20" on Saturday night - but I think I may have plans for a movie that night.

No problem - you coming out to race?
No, we just want to come out and watch. My girlfriend and I just recently bought big bikes to start jumping ie Whistler & SST, but we're still beginners. Neither of has any BMX or dirt jumping experience. I did win a Transition Trail or Park frame that we'll get built up to play around with, but that won't happen until next year. Already spent too much $$$ on bikes this year.

How old are you all? I'm wondering if there would be any other MTBers in my class (31-35 cruiser). I used to race cruiser a few years ago and was pretty serious about it, then I got married, had kids... But I want to race again just for fun and not be too competetive. BTW: it looks like Mike is trying to sell off the BMX operations at the arena. He must be tired of moving horse poop around every Friday.

I race in the 36+ class in cruiser. 28+ on a 20" except at States/Nationals - then it's 36+. Don't be fooled though, some of the old guys are fast, me I'm slow. :)

Name's Loreto. I ride DH and I usually race 20". I have a cruiser license too so I can race my mtb on the track. I'm usually at the N Seatac track since that's where I do most of my volunteering and I take photos for them - check www.seatacbmx.org and click on the photos section. This year was a bad year of bmxing cause I had collarbone surgery after breaking it again while riding my mtb on the bmx track.

So you coming out to indoor?

I was gonna go spectate, what is gooda time show up and catch the action?
Why spectate? - bring your ht, gear, some money and line up on the gate...but if you have to spectate - we'll probably start racing around 11-11:30
