Tell me what you all thought of the race.

I thought the track was super sweet and fast. I loved that last section before the DS coarse. Just sliding around all of the corners That was Fun.

 

[jcook90]

was the sport/beginner course the same course that its been for the past 2 races? Corners before the DS course...any chance its the same parts of trails from the 6th or 7th race last year?

 

[yuroshek]

it was my first time up there ever, it was pretty cool really didnt know what to expect. i really should have entered sport since i beat second by 31 seconds or w/e it was. my bad but hey i didnt know what the class's were like or anything. next time ill bump up to sport.

 

[EM-EFER]

Expert course was great.. Super techinical and lots of turns. It was the longest course I have ridden there this year..

The gravity east finals are supposed to be on the upwards of 6 minutes.

i might. there was just enough rain to make it slick but very little standing water for most of the mountain. I didn't ride the race course (wasn't racing) but I rode elsewhere.

Nothing brings a smile to my face like riding at plattekill...well, maybe drinking and riding at plattekill....

Ulmer's a rocket. It was a deluxe treat to be there by chance for his domination last weekend. Can't wait to see The Kid on the WC circuit. GO GEOFF!!!

...and heal up strong and complete Old Man. 7 months might seem like forever, but if you come back too quick you'll just add to the seeming life-sentence. Hang in there.

 

[jonKranked]

haha and Geoff's dad is a riot! i'm so jealous you went to platty already. but i'll be there in october riding through a sea of golden leaves.

The old man'll be fine! (Just don't call him "Coach", as I did at Whiteface!) George has some funny stories...esp. about the employees he's fired for sniffing paint at the factory!

 

[jonKranked]

George is freakin' hysterical! Hands down also one of the most fun people to hang with.

Bring back ViciousDHer!!!!

Thanks for the heads up. (Note to self: include "coach" to the How To Piss Off Old Man Ulmer list. LOL.)

Nice shot of the celebrity em-effer.

Hey kranked, it was beyond awesome to be there. Very excited for your upcoming trip. Take pics of the autumn splendor for me, wouldja, thanks.

The riding was spectacular as ever. A rain soaked saturday didn't bother me a bit. Rode with all kinds of fun people and the parking lot posse made me feel like royalty all weekend. Hated to leave and cursed the Catskills for not having the house and machine shop we needed back when the relocation was being researched.

Hey Sammich, thanks for saying hi because I wouldn't have recognized you otherwise. I hope your friend's eye is okay with the colorful shiner he was sporting by the end of the day. Never got the story on how it happened but it wasn't there when I saw them in the morning so it had to be a big kiss from the 'kill.

Trying to pull it together to send my ol' man back for the final weekend since it's around his birthday.

There's no place like Plattekill...

 

[jonKranked]

haha T that's why I chose to go the weekend I did... my b-day is the monday I get back so its pretty much a present to myself. Priorities yo.

doc still clicking his heels on the swingarm to get the Laz of Oz to whisk him back there?? :biggrin:

 

[NY_Star]

Ya My birthday was on Saturday (practice day) There was not a better was to spend it. Also Did any of you meet Julio Cesar. That dude is the ****. He is a brazilan cheft that cooks the best pit food ever. He is so funny and he is one of the faster guys. Check him out if you have not met him.

 

[tmx]

Laz of Oz. Nice one.

Haven't seen Doc in the heel clicking act again but I think he was bummed I cleaned all the mud off the bike before he got to it.

Happy early birfday krankage.

edit: and happy belated to you Tomac racer. Didn't meet this Julio fella but sounds like a good friend to have, a ripper and a good pit cook.

 

[jonKranked]

Laz of Oz. Nice one.

Great idea... I'm gonna bring some Platty mud back in a jar to keep in my desk at work as motivation

 

[tmx]

I should have done the same. And I regret not taking pictures, especially of all the people I miss so much.

Heal up quick bro!

 

[nh dude]

julio and his companions from nj hold it down in the pits. Bazillion behr bay kU is really really good. those guys do some funny ****.

if they are going to have a six min course hopefully it will use the other side of the mountain, cause they got the jump coming from that direction.

 

[Red Bull]
