yeah it looks like it would make the soil a more tackier..how dusty was it out there for the race?If it had rained the times would have be faster across the board. Sol Vista turns to hero dirt in and after the rain.

Sand box dude. On the am course what I thought would have been a good place to put my tire apparently was 5" of sand with a rock in there that wanted no business with my tire. OTB, buttock on rocks and bike on me.yeah it looks like it would make the soil a more tackier..how dusty was it out there for the race?
I'm still coughing up dust...how dusty was it out there for the race?

Just wondering, if I'm remembering correctly, you were at least a peripheral part of the discussion regarding the cat 1-2-3 course. Was it fun? and challenging? Hope you guys enjoyed your trip.Hey all the photogs out there. Looking for pics of me and the Gooseman racing in Cat 1 DH. Plates 1376 & 1377, bright orange bikes and helmets, can't miss 'em
Thanks in advance!
I appreciated racing (4th 40-44) your Cat 1 course and shooting your Pro course. I wouldn't worry to much about the rest of us. Keep the course running well, and maybe had some change for next year, but above all you made a great course.Above all else, we've got one more year for this race, and this is just our opinion of what courses should be. It'll be somewhere else later and whoever builds those courses will have a different opinion of what courses should be, that's why the races change location. Whatever is better/more popular will eventually surface and people can have somewhat reasonable expectations of what to race. The sport is still young and everyone is figuring out what we can ride, our courses were just our take on what's possible.
thats sweet, and shows how rocky and blown out the woods wereNational Champs Helmet Cam fallowing Mike Kreger: http://vimeo.com/5724124
torn groin muscle from the week prior racing (crashing i should say) up at mont st anne... did a few runs in sol vista the first day and it was not gonna happen... ended up making it worse in the process and it got super swollen and black/blue.... soooo awesomeDave why come you didnt start?
swollen black and blue groin?? damn bad visualtorn groin muscle from the week prior racing (crashing i should say) up at mont st anne... did a few runs in sol vista the first day and it was not gonna happen... ended up making it worse in the process and it got super swollen and black/blue.... soooo awesome
so i played super fan for my buddies all weekend. but it was a sick TRACK and i got to catch up with some people i only see once or twice a year, so i still had a god time
Damn - either you are REALLY tall or you boosted the crap out of those first 2 big jumps.National Champs Helmet Cam fallowing Mike Kreger: http://vimeo.com/5724124
I remember when we watched that earlier and they ran like a 2:29 on Vimeo there it show's them running a 2:13, must get changed a bit when compressed.thats sweet, and shows how rocky and blown out the woods were
did something get screwed up when it was compressed on vimeo? because looking at the time at the bottom it says that run would have beaten gwin's time, haha
typical mountain bike video - SPED UP FOOTAGE! : )
More stoke...
except Gwin does not drink... ever
That's a secret team Yeti motivational technique. Gwin wasn't the fastest rider on the hill, he was the thirstiest rider on the hill!!
He is the Chuck Norris of camels.except Gwin does not drink... ever
I do ride a Kona! I over shot both of those pretty bad, good thing hucking to flat is the best!Damn - either you are REALLY tall or you boosted the crap out of those first 2 big jumps.
The course was awesome fun! Totally a legit Cat 1 course, sh1t, it had me guessing all the way up to the final day when I had to man up and hit all the big moves. Massive thumbs up !!Just wondering, if I'm remembering correctly, you were at least a peripheral part of the discussion regarding the cat 1-2-3 course. Was it fun? and challenging?

Then you need to watch some muddy race footage from the east coast through rock gardens. At least the landings on these don't include rocks and trees...I didn't realize a muddy trail and an enormous no-room-for-error jump are comparable.
Onesies? Really?I must say I didn't mind the huge increase in fit xc ladies this weekend wearing their little onesies. .
Biggest flaw in that argument is that doing these jumps doesnt require any different skills than doing a smaller jump. In fact, you dont really need much skill at all beyond knowing how to be in control of your bike generally and not do anything stupid. Most of the guys that got psyched out on the jumps and really had to sack up to do them were kicking themselves afterward for not just doing it earlier. In fact I would say these jumps are technically easier than most bike park jumps, which are generally undersized and mis-shapen.Do you personally teach a course on how to do 50-foot gapped jumps in 3 days? I would like to sign up. I'm usually a smartass, but I was being sincere on that one; I would love to learn to do gaps that big! Now are we ready for my smartass comment? I always try to include one... I didn't realize a muddy trail and an enormous no-room-for-error jump are comparable.
None of this, however, is really the point of my original message, which is resorts need to step up and match the progression of the sport.
Neko had to make a decision as to which race was the most important to him, the GES race at Attitash racing in the Pro Class or the US National Champs racing the 15-16 year olds.Is there a posting of full results, I can't seem to sift through 25 pages with the workload I have. was wondering If local GE hero, Neco Mulally raced and how well he placed.
