naw, mass o' nuthin is really the perfect playground for a nimble 6" trailbike.

This race has been won by a full on DH bike every year since inception.

John P...it's full on fun! Top section is about linking rocks together (high speed ones that have something of a broken cinder block edge snuck in here and there. Definitely the tire choices Jeremy said...Comp 16's, High Rollers or DHFs.

Oh...and if want to sneak two bikes, there is some insanely fun, super long descent on the back side of the mountain that is a Super D race as well that is around 20+ minutes long with whoops and berms the length of it that I haven't gotten to ride.

fair enough, but it's hardly a course that has ever had me wishing for a bigger bike

 

[Cant Climb]

Bring the DH bike John....the course is definitely doable on a smaller bike but i don't think it would be faster.....

.......if you want to do more riding stop in at....http://www.shenandoahbicycle.com/ and they will fix you up in no time.......not sure if they have bike rentals but i think you could work something out....

Tell her to skip graduation to come hang out.

i know i gotta pull something... hmm rain dance over PA that way they have to have it inside and is cut down on attendence? i gotta look into that. ill figure something out.

Weren't you on a R9 last year?

 

[CBJ]

The race should be called Bust-a-Massanutten. I really want to go this year. When is it?

wasn't there last year, but i've had good results racing there on a clapped out Giant AC and an old SC Bullit. (yes, i do currently ride an R9 though)

 

[NJMX835]

This race is the a qualifier for the National Championships, right?

I had heard every Gravity East race is, does anyone know if that's true also?

 

[Jim Mac]

Yes, it's true, but then again almost any USAC sanctioned dh race is one as well - all the Platty and Snow races were as well last year.

Just don't overshoot with the rain.

 

[yuroshek]

no, i only want rain over PA. so they have to move the graduation inside. and then they have a limit of 2 tickets per. but yet my gf says she would just get another ticket . next plan??? any ideas?

Fun even on the big bike, just have some one meet you at the bottom so you don't have to climb back out.

 

[dan wask]

I'm gonna do a triple backflip over that section. BYAAAAAAAAAA

Thanks for the info! Will try the condo booking again, as I got stonewalled last time!

 

[NJMX835]

Anyone know when online registration will start?

I went to http://www.massresort.com/v.php?pg=221, but it doesn't show what the fees are for the different classes & there's no option to register yet.

I think we're gonna need a bigger parking lot for the cookout.
