They did it once last year. You had to hold your bike on but it still rocked. We should all email them saying they need to run the old lift on race weekends! If we get enough people requesting it we may get somewhere.Originally posted by Echo

If they ran both lifts I would be there every weekend and own a season pass.

compared to NO line which is usually the case on non-race w/e's, i can see why some steer clear when there's a race. lift lines can be useful though, where else would one pose, flex and socialize?
once the race starts, there are hardly more than ten ppl in line and if the race course doesn't weave its way throughout the whole mountain, there are plenty of trails to tickle your fancy.
So they do run the lifts while races have started?Originally posted by chromegoddess

Yes they do... but I think they ask that only the people who need to go up for their race, use the lift. I could be mistaken about that though.
I'd like to go I think, but I definitely want to include some type of riding into the weekend too. I would be down for a climb and then some trail riding back down.

. I like riding on race weekends, like you said it's only first thing in the morning it's bad. By like10:00 it's all good. I still think we should push for the old side to open sometimes i love it over there and get sick of the ride over.Check your PM's biznatch!Originally posted by Lexx D
pose and flex
How did it feel riding the Hollowpoint Stosh? Did the angles seem to steep for the steeper dh sections??
I went over the bars too and I had a short little stem on my bike!

Yeah but I go over the bars sometimes on my DH bike.
yeah, its usually ok unless your hydro line ends up smashed/popped/destroyed between the bars & the tree

Yes but it is for a very very worthy cause. I'm riding in the MS road ride with MBC in place of IAB who will be out of town for the ride.
oooh that's got potential!!
I have a Canon Powershot A70 that I'm still learning how to use effectively.
