I'm looking forward to seeing boice, Schusler, kane, gwinny, Cody Warren, or half a dozen pros I haven't even thought of, keep it low and fast off something that big. With what's uphill they should be flying by the time they hit the first of the big jumps. going to be really fun to watch
There are at least 2-3 14 and under jrs that hit it routinely( I would have included video of my 12 yr old, but the quality was crappy). The Sol Vista crew designs great stuff, but it is big. Threw in a pic of the little guy at the 4X at Angelfire, two of the 14 and unders cleared all 3 of the big doubles at the bottom, quick way to age a father
He was defective from the factory, they forgot to install a fear gene. Scary when I had to come to grips that I'd never hit some of the stuff that he was hitting, and he was 11. Still, it's a testament to the way this stuff is built that 80 pounders can find the speed to hit this stuff safely
The US Open attracts foreign talent, but Nationals is a closed event. Citizens only (and permanent residents).
Go Gerrit!
You guys should do some live internet radio coverage.

Just in case you need this, you can take a bus from DIA to a train station, and the train up here through the Rocky Mountains. A guy did that a couple weeks ago, he was from the east coast and said it was fairly painless and it was a good trip. I'm sure with a little research you can find the route, then get a ride from the train station here in Granby to the mountain (5 minutes)
Quick, someone run over to Sol Vista and see what course they are taping off. Today is the day!
Lipskidder has to more than 30 feet... don't it?
Does buc nasty lead into lip skidder? I thought it led into Negrodamus.
Buc Nasty connects upper Drifter (just before the sandy right hander that leads to the double/triple option) with lower Cougar (just below Edgar) and leads into Lip Skidder.
Yes. See above, Negro is on lower Drifter and won't be in this configuration of trails.
So the track will be upper drifter, to where the triple option is, then on to Buc Nasty...which connects with Cougar below Edgar?Buc Nasty connects upper Drifter (just before the sandy right hander that leads to the double/triple option) with lower Cougar (just below Edgar) and leads into Lip Skidder.

Yeah this combo of trails has been raced before, once at the SolVista G3 event last year. But of all the trails and trail combos, it has the most of what the mountain has to offer: decent tech stuff, great turns, sweet rocky sections, high speed pinball straits, big jumps, and plenty of classic sandy SolVista charm. All of the big features have good route-arounds that are still fun, yet do penalize you for time so stepping up your game rewards you. I dig it.
No, it will be upper Drifter, to Buc Nasty, to Cougar below Edgar.
That sh!t is funny.
Quoted for truth AND hilarity.
True, but the UK guys are still faster
