So, who on here is going? I'm making the sweet trek from Santa Barbara out to there. Can't wait, since it's always my favorite course of the year!
That is a hell of a drive kyle. I drove to AF in 07 from my house in WA. 24 hours. it sucked. hope you are flying.I think we're heading down from washington/idaho.
Kyle,
I think a bunch of us are going. it will be cheaper and easier than flying.That is a hell of a drive kyle. I drove to AF in 07 from my house in WA. 24 hours. it sucked. hope you are flying.
Can't wait though. Angel Fire is a burly mtn. See you guys there!
ShhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhWoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Pro GRT! Pro GRT! numba 2!
Ya'll should just make a series wide t-shirt, and maybe one for the National Champs.Yo guys!
A quick question to ya'll that are heading to Angel Fire... we're (the MSC staff and myself) are trying to decide if we should get t-shirts made for the event. We did shirts for the Chalk Creek Stampede (also part of the MSC) and we took a BEATING on them, pretty much because of the economy, gas prices, etc.
So let me know, whatya think? We'll do 'em if you guys want 'em and think you can afford 'em but we don't want to waste time and resources if you guys really don't care.
Thanks!
agreed... that's something i'll be doing w/ the Pro GRT next year when we're going to be able to do more marking & pump things up... this year is just too hard (exactly the reasons you stated)..I'll be there.

sweetness.No deets yet, waiting to hear back from the crew - they just got down there today and are out marking all the tracks (XC, DH, yadda yadda yadda...)
Easy there tiger.hey mister MSC GUY! I was checking the schedule out today and what the heck is up with 2 hours of practice!!! You mean to tell me I have to sit around all day, practice for 2 hours and then do nothing again... come on bro I would like to be able to free ride in the very least between practice sessions. and 2 hours is VERY LIMITED. imagine if you get a flat? that could take anywhere between 30min to an hour to change out and there goes half your practice!
I loved the schedule last year! RIDE ALL DAY!! haha PLEASE BRING IT BACK!! I'll buy you a 30pk of whatever beer!!
I'm driving all the way from SB and I would really like to ride the dream that is Angel fire for more than 2 hours per day.
I just looked at the schedule and those are exactly my thoughts.. I'm baffled why race promoters think this is a good idea. I remember flyers that used to boast "ALL DAY PRACTICE" What happened to that?Yeah, I am also here to say that this 2 hour practice is total crap. Talk about giving the locals an advantage! You mean to tell me that I am going to drive 16 hours from Salt Lake City and only get two hours of course time per day...LAME. Let me guess, next thing you are going to tell me is that I have to purchase a USAC pro license for some un-godly amount of money, then charge me $70 to race. (oh yeah, then I have to buy a lift ticket.)
Will someone please hit me in the head with my $1500 new Boxxer to pull me out of this dream I am in? This is rediculous!
Sorry dude, but as a Pro, I don't want to be sharing practice with non pro's. The only time I've ever been injured at a dh race was by coming up on someone who couldn't get up on time and forcing me off course. No offense but mixed pro practice is not ok.Yes, I am very interested to hear about this "Course B" BS. Cat 1 riders should be able to ride the same tech and fast **** as Pro cat, just not as fast. If they can't, they shouldn't be riding in Cat 1. Why in the world would I want to race on the same course as the beg? And better suited for Pros?? In what way!?!
