Are they running the upper half of the mountain this time? I called the info line but didn't hear anything about # of runs or whether it would be upper & lower or just lower...

I had a great time, although crappy runs. Im still trying to figure how my second run was 12 seconds slower and i didnt fall off the bike once or really ever stop, and even felt like i rode everything cleaner..... :confused: . I asked them to check the times and they said they were right, but im still unsure. Oh well, at least i came home with no injuries and only the red dial on my brake lever messed up.....

Congrats to those who made podium.

XC racing is too hard! :dead: Plus, when are you having a good time durning the race? NEVER!! :D

DH is much more laid back and the ppl are hella cool. Plus, I never have to worry about Kevin not wanting to go downhilling with me :dancing:

Edit: We are planning on hitting the Hood races on July 30/31 and Aug. 20/21

i was talking with Odd Todd and Gabe Stoner and they said that the new course does suck for racing, but a fun trail. So I guess there not going to race it. But they have some other stuff in the works for next time in July. Anyone who wants to ride some real dh races should check it out. it's tough but not to tuff. O, they pay 10 deep so a bunch of experts got some cash. And they have free beer after the race! It's a pretty fun atmoshpere and good trails. Everyone should go at least once (cough, HOLLISWOOD).
