It's Tarheel National time again.
The daughter and I want to ride the DS course this weekend.
Anyone want to join us? Mike? Joe?

Is the Hobby Park DS still around?
- Thread starter Peete
- Start date
it's still there, just needs a little TLC. everything is rideable though. i may actually be heading to gainseville, Ga this weekend to see my brother but if not, i'll try and meet you guys.
We'll be at that race.
I don't think it's physically possible to run a 4X at Hobby unless they reroute it or cut down some trees.spoke80 said:
I like having a true DS race mixed in with the 4X and 2X races.
With Charlotte off of the map it would be cool to include Hobby in the Maxxis series.
We're working on trying to get something together at Chuck's this summer.
If you want any help just let me know when and I'll do my best to be there.Mikedsx said:
I think it would be sweet to fun a "2x" have set lanes in the woods and then after the big table out of the woods let it be 4x style.
The course is definetly rideable, just not race ready. I might be able to make it out this weekend. When you gonna be there?
Mike, just shout out on here when you want to work on it, and you'll be sure to have a huge turnout to help you.
I think the course would be improved if it's run as a DS in the woods then after the table(Used to be a step down, is it that worn?) it becomes a 2X. Change all of the berms into larger single berms. Doing that to the first one would really boost your speed for the uphill step up.escapeartist said:
I have to work my riding around the BMX race. So I'm going to ride saturday am early, 8:30ish to @ 11ish. Depending on how everyone feels after the race we'll go back over late afternoon. And on sunday the race ought to be done @ noon latest so we can get a few hours before we hit the road home.
As of now I can be there on Saturday morning. You guys got any interest in a fishing trip?
Mike, send me email announcements to organize building there and I can get you a big turnout. I've only got close to 300 people on the MADHRA mailing list you ask me all the time what's going on.Mikedsx said:

Thanks guys for all the offers of help. When it gets closer to the race date I'll rent the bobcat again and we'll go to town. I guess I've been a little discouraged lately because I can't hit any nationals this year(due to work) and there aren't really any other races(mtnx or ds) to go to. If nothing else comes together maybe we can meet up at our race to try to get something going for 06. The lack of races really sucks. I'm thinking of doing a DH bike class(dual crown only and some kind of weight minimum) any of you dher's interested.
mike we need more less organized races at random times throughout the year, once isnt enough
You're right. There should be new types of racing and/or classes to keep things interesting.JeffD said:
Maybe changing the name of some of the downhills to superD would get more people to try it. The ETSU campus downhill comes to mind. Call it a SuperD and maybe have 2 people start at the same time. There are places to pass and the last rock section would get interesting with 2 racers fighting it out at the finish.
how narrow is your ass?Peete said:
You couldn't pass me on that course unless you know how to walk through walls!!! :eviltongu
Well, I was refering to the jeep trail about half way down. The trail could be made to split off and join itself too.bizutch said:how narrow is your ass?
And Butch, nobody can get around your big ass bitch hips
ink:
they're called love handles baby...and I got so much love to give...now come over here and give uncle Butch a lapdance....Peete said:.....big ass bitch hips
Jeremy already tried that move at Massanutten...didn't work.JeffD said:
Jeff, I was going to post a comeback but after I typed it I decided it was WAY too gross. I can't believe I offended myselfJeffD said:
I guess I'll never live the ass in Wolf thing down ass long ass you are alive.
That's alright, at least I didn't fart at a bon fire during a momentary lull in the conversation. Never do that while wearing hot pink pants with your name on them.
a Big bike class would be fun, Id def do it mostly cause i aint gonna get to do any Dh cause of work as it is.
You huys should hire new people...I wonder if anyone on here would be willing...ZachTheMech said:
I see you have a new signature.JeffD said:
What exactly are you pullin'?
Last call for Hobby before I leave. Anyone make it out on sunday @ noon?
PM me a phone number.
I'd also like to hit CP saturday P.M. if we get out of the race early enough.

that's just what we've all been told to tell you. :devil:
I just wanted to thank everyone who showed up sunday. More people definitely make it more fun.
Country Park was really cool. I wish I had brought the DH bike and the time to work up the nut to try the big gap. Better I didn't since I had a long drive after.
I'll give ya'll a shout the next time I head up that way. And let me know if/when you want to come down and sample Chuck's. We have floor space.
