Gonna be my first race back from injury at Plattekill. Super stoked. Any updates on what the course might be?
Oct 9th Plattekill
- Thread starter frolessleader
- Start date
good question! im pumped for this
omg what a fun course. My fav way down the double side, if you've ever rode with me just think, Geoff's Course" or the "Ultimation" from a few years ago Flow , steep and FUN. Pro Cat1 and Cat 2 on the same course. Cat# gets a go-around the "shale drop/chute" MINT !!!!.

Rode it today. It was wet, slick, muddy and fun as hell!!!
hmmm where is it on a map? debating where I'll be this weekend...
does it really matter what course? its fall platty riding
hahaha you sarcastic SOB.
shale chute, below the scotsman, below crossed eyed mary, freeride trail, geoff's chute, freeride trail, fresh cut, off camber grassy turn, off camber fresh cut, across POC Drop (tinman), behind wall ride with freshcut. Got it ??
The course is pretty important - does it favor Jack better or does it favor Sam better? (first race back after broken tibfib)
The loser wears a pink tu tu to awards and I want to be on the money.

Jack 100% he was down practicing it last weekend....and it is one of his favorites. He petioned hard for this course.
me too
me too
will yaw be open the 7th or 10th?
So your telling me that Jack was so afraid I'd beat him in my first race back that he begged you to run a course that he isn't scared of?
There is so much going on this weekend a Plattekill I can't come up with a good press release.

bounce house = Bouncy castle?
Make sure you find some time for runs with me big pappa. Let the wife run the kids in Bouncy Castle..
At least one run has to be with me
you know it ! Good times!
I want to sleep in the bounce house !!
Some of those crossovers were thick with trees and bushes, I never thought we'd get it done. Turned out to be an awesome course. So stoked we're racing it again.
Wonder if DH Mke will show up and race after all his challenges he never showed up at the start like at Whiteface. Plattekill 1 Whiteface 0....that's a ZERO Mike ...haha
and Sam this course is not easy, just FUN. A couple inches off line and it will spell trouble. Jack knows a good Trail when he rides it and he knows this one very well. Hope the pink doesn't clash with ya
