Hmm....yeah I should have all that covered. It'll be hard to just throw plain backflips though without the extra cross-ups or turndowns during them.

I'M AMAZING YOU IDIOTS!!!



Anyhow, any other shops that'll rent bikes around SS? Maybe I should snag a Demo 8 or 9 as it's more up to my SICK riding?

Being that close to NY, IMO is a stretch for Mid-Atlantic...of course the race in PA is somewhat of a stretch too... I guess how far you stretch the "Mid" is the questions...northern Florida & southern Maine could also be considered "Mid"!

Fee is 25 bucks a tent, per night....even without power. We got screwed at norba, because we had thought it was free...and apparently we were wrong, so we ended up paying. It was no fault but our own...I just believe that having to pay to set up a tent on a gravel parking lot...and not using any of the resources blows.

I think I stayed right beside you. I was the junk show at the end of the parking lot with the gigantic blue tarp strung over our tents. We didn't pay that stupid fee and were never asked for it.


So don't pay it this time.

Well looks like HBT, Brunettes, myself and a buddy of mine will be there. I just reserved a 2 Bedroom unit in Rimfile lodge for $175 for Saturday night. I rented off a guy named Henry I found on VRBO.com. I called snowhoe and they wanted like $325 for for a "budget" one bedroom at the top of the mountain. They gave me another choice of the Inn at the base of the mountain for $110 for a hotel type room. However I much perfer to stay at the top. Anway I think I'd take the Ritz for $175 over Motel 6 for $110 anyday. I hope my buddies agree also, since they will have to fork out about $15 additional dollars each for my decision.

I'm really looking forward to the race.

Trust me, you made the right decision. Staying at the bottom suX0rs.

ok, so does anyone have the EXACT price(need to know) for the race fee? Also does the race fee cover lift access to both sides of the mountain? Also , are the 2 courses still going to be used, or just the pro course for all categories? (clarification

What? I have never heard of anybody having to pay. I think somone pocketed your money - just pop your **** and act like you've been living there for years.

Just don't go to the Silvercreek lodge and volunteer any info regarding your stay in there fabulous and luxurious parking lot, and you should be fine.

alright thanx for the info. So how come the sport course is not being used ?

Because it would take all day to move the course people from one course to the other between races. They ran both courses at the first mayham and there was a several hour gap in between the races

I just called the MAC and got a conflicting story. They said the $45 race fee only covered the race, and DH practice which is all on the western side. He said if I wanted to ride the Freeride park, I would need to pay $20 for a park pass.

Also if anybody didn't already know, the $45 fee is if you already have a NORBA license. If you don't have that you will need to buy one. I think you can get 1 day NORBA licenses for like $5.

The guy I talked to also said there would be plenty of rental bikes available.

Anybody on here work at the MAC and can clear this up?

I dont think any one from snow shoe posts here they are much to busy for that ink: :love:

 

[Brunettes]

the extra $ is not a problem for me (seems like a much better deal anyway)

Me either, that is what I was figuring on anyway, until I saw the post that the $45 covers both lifts. I thought I better call and find out for sure.

[/QUOTE] I think you can get 1 day NORBA licenses for like $5.00 [/QUOTE]
dose that mean i have to buy 2 passes for the practice day and the race day or do i not need one on the practice day

 

[mobius]

no u just need a norba license for the race day practice days dont matter and you can only get day licenses for sport and below.

I would think the license is only needed for the actual race, not for practice. Of course what do I know, I havn't raced a NORBA event before.

oldskoolbiker - Here is the deal:

Taken straight from the Snowshoe schedule of events:

"On Saturday and Sunday a guest can ride EITHER LIFT with their bike if they are part of the event and have a race number or Combo Shuttle/Park pass."

That being said, if you are registered for the race, have your number on your bike, then you CAN ride the freeride park. For free. It's included in your registration.

Everyone clear? Yes I work at the MAC and yes this is the correct information.

Yeah I always keep one up my sleeve for just such an occasion. My wife also said I would look like a lost puppy if I stayed home. Everyone have a safe trip and good luck. Mayham is always a great weekend.

Cool, looks liek a lot of 's will be there. We should have a meeting

It should be a blast. I wonder if that weird bicycle troupe is going to be there again? Remember, they hosted the bicycle jousting and all?

And how about the prizes! Last year I was tossed a $75 Kona jersey!

Message to Almost Heaven

Is there any chance that you will run out of rental bikes by 10:00 AM saturday? Two of the guys I'm going with don't have DH bikes and want to rent. But they are afraid that no DH bikes will be available when we get there and want to bring their XC bikes as a backup.

I would perfer not to bring two extra bikes with us if rentals will not be a problem.

Thanks.

 

[bballboy388]

also im not sure if it said or not but do i need a full face helmet like what pads are required

 

[rpk1988]

Have fun up there monkey's. Tear it up Greg and Steve.

 

[mobius]

Almostheaven says he has no idea.

i dont think hes psychic enough to tell.

 

[super95awd]

It says on the site that DH practice is over at 2 tomorrow. Can we keep riding the course until the lifts close or what's the deal with that? I don't think we can get down until 12, that's why I'm wondering.
