It's not to bad out right now. Still wet pools where the water sits but i can rail throug the trails fine without losing traction in corners.

I might be heading up there tomorrow sometime. If I can get all this work done. Gotta call Derrick and Casey and make sure I got a place to crash.

Man, what kind of tires are you running where you rail and not loose traction when cornering?

Denjen -- I'm heading up there today thru monday. If you wanna ride ask Derrick or someone at the shop where I am. I'll be on a blue stinky with dangerboy plates, romic and Jr.T. And hopefully trying out one of snowshoe's Freightrains (Stab supreme with 888).

Had a great time at Snowshoe this weekend. Weather and conditions were perfect.

Found out a couple things about NORBA. The pro course will be the same as last years with some changes. If it stays dry it will be a very fast course.
Beg/sport couse will be regular sport course into sweetdreams which will also make for a very fast course.

Yeah every time I have gone down hairball it turned into a nice walk down the moutain. I was kinda looking foward to seeing the pros blast through there at warp speed. I was told they want to keep the finish lines for the two courses apart, so they can run beg/sport at the same time the experts race.

Sadly no i've been trying to tell trevyn (tpro) that people won't like it since people find a way to bitch about everything but he said its gonna be like that. It's noit to bad just pedal into it downshift before pedal up and shift up and u can come otu with speed sprinting.

That's gonna blow the heck outta Sweet Dreams. :(
My thoughts exactly

If you hit the bridge just before the uphill wide open you can get up it easily, but then you are very out of breath and still have a flat couple hundred feet sprint to the finish.

I put on tires today! Sweet dreams will get beat up but it's not to bad a trail to maintain so shouldnt be bad to fix.

pedal up hill in a DH race, huh

That should be fun especially if it rains. It will be even cooler at the end of a exhausting 5 minute race run.

5min of extreme anerobic activity+ rain + uphill + typical pudddle at base of up hill + WVa. mud = fun, fun, fun!


Good thing I will be in Whistler!
