I really want to spend time at hood... its 6-8 hours less driving over the weekend, cheaper, and a heck of a lot more technical.
Good luck to everyone who goes...

We're heading down to Cali this weekend to ride roller coasters at Six Flags!!!!! 
Correct, but i cant afford to do back to back races... both time and $$ are short these days..... so ill spend my $$ at the hood series for the rest of the season.66 said:

I like jumps!! More air = More fun.......
Are the new doubles more of a BMX type rhythm section or are they spread out like they should be for me?? 
I'm there either way....48" wheelbase and all...

I just heard (not sure how reliable) that they might wipe out some of the new jumps. Does anyone know any details of this and which ones? This will be my first race, so all the jumps before the berm-to-berm are just out of my reach, so I am trying to figure out how they wil have the easy-out or if they will just make racers have to slow down and roll over them, but then if you just roll them, it still makes it very hard to get speed to hit the berm-to-berm. I just need to get comfortable riding at the speed needed to hit all those jumps and will be good to go.
the doubles are kind of tight. not like a jump park though. if you make the first one you're good from then on. i tried about six times and couldn't get the first one right. it's right after you come down off the rock. i rolled them all and had no problem getting speed for the berm to berm. the one after the berm to berm is weird though. i wouldn't be upset if they tore some of them down, it is a downhill race after all, not a freestyle comp.
Eh....not a big fan of rhythm sections on a DH bike....but my fork should suck up any unintentional bozo manuevers I might make....at least most.....
Ah well.....the faster ya go the easier it gets!!
