Gonna try superD on sat then Zclass on sun
I'll try super D! I did it once at in Infineon and a bunch of XC kids schooled me.
dang it ultranoob, you should just race the superd on sat. i don't want to get smoked by you again in the dh .
Who's camping? I think I'm going to.
haha! smoked yea right. I crashed hard last race and had to take a dnf. You should look out for Sluck and Lovebunny's faster brother. They've really been thrownin the hammer.dang it ultranoob, you should just race the superd on sat. i don't want to get smoked by you again in the dh .
Here's some insider info...
Sluck is riding a demo 9 and has been railing mammoth, murrieta, N*, Bootleg, and tunnel.. I think he's the one to beat.
for superD I know i'm gonna get beat on the climb, so i'm just there to say I did it and survived. I'm gonna have to do it again in feb cuz EdLubba's promised to do one too
sorry ultranoob , i guess i got you confused with sluck maybe @ the cal state race .well good luck in the super d !
the only camping i'm going to be doing is hopefully on my friends couch .
yea, that was Sluck. I was the one who went missing on the second run cuz I jacked my knee. Sluck = Slow and Suck He really needs to change his name cuz he's no longer slow, and he no longer sucks... well maybe just a little
I've already accepted it... The only way I'm not gonna place last on super D is if someone crashes bad and takes their dear sweet time to get up... or has a mechanical...
The LA crew will prob come out for this one too. Should be fun seeing that none of us ever competeted in any sort.
i'll be there. i always try and show up for this race. hell gotta see what my new bike can do.
gonna do it, never raced before. should be interesting.
if it's your first time, the last 20sec before it's your turn is the most nerve wracking 20sec of your life
my first race was my funnest

I thought you were talking about the last 20s of the course. 
nah, Ozzer dubbed the last section "20sec of pain", that's the best part cuz you get to scream at pedestrians to GTF outta your way and then pelt them with rocks and gravel as you fly by
the one thing to remember, is just go to have fun. that is what it's all about.
I want to try it out. I've always heard good things about Southridge races. But...I'm not to sure on what calss i should be riding. Any suggestions?
can anyone elaborate on the different class routes? I heard that the beginner bypassed some of the more rocky sections?
it all depends on what coarse that the southridge team decides on using. last year when i did this race they had everybody racing the same lines.
yup, I concur.... same lines as the pros (most of the time).... although not as fast, but the crashes made for some excellent photos. IT'S SO FREAKIN FUN!!! DO IT!!!!
Race in the ZA class. I will be in that class to try it out.
Hey, do you still have the XVert Carbon fork? Wanna sell it back for today's market value?
Or I can trade you an older 03 Boxxer for it? If the bushings are shot, nevermind.
Sorry, my little cousin cracked the fork and taco-ed the wheel at mammoth. See you guys at the races.Race in the ZA class. I will be in that class to try it out.

Should be there.
Cool. I'll be on a black Bullit or an orange Chameleon.
i'll be there... no racing for me though... hopefully riding though. waaaaayyy too outta shape to spend money to get 3 min behind the winner (& yes i'm talkin DH! haha)
just tried to run across the street up here... not fun! my ligaments/tendons/etc are sore as hell... hopefully i'll be able to ride! might needs some more PT first! cross my fingers
i'll be at the Nema booth though (most likely drinkin the whole weekend)
THINKING about camping there... not sure yet... got done w/ 4 days/nights camping at Sequoia National Park. fun fun!

Your ankle sounds gnarly. I'm thinking about camping too. Can I buy stuff at the Nema booth there?
Im there! Wife has to let MR. MOM go play. 
I'll be there. Didn't know if I should race or shoot photos, but being broke I guess I'll shoot. Maybe I'll get a good one of Mr. Mom / Bullcrew.
Check my web site the Monday after the race, and as usual I'll post any good wreck photos I get.

Haha, nice!
I want to shoot downhill, but it's hard because I also really want to race, and hate missing a run... doing both. There needs to be more races I can't do like Jeep King Of The Mountain.

I'd shoot for ya during your run but I'm not going to be racing Expert this race, still in Sport....my last sport race ever!
Btw, it's official that I'm going now! My new X.O is on the way so I'll be able to shift again.
Not a half bad Idea, D! I can probably shoot for you as well if you want to race.Scream a lot a few seconds BEFORE you go down, so I can get ready!
