they should have the start in the village! that would be so sweet!
don't know where you get your information, but i highly doubt the West Ridge road gap from last year will be in the 3rd race this season.
the west ridge road gap is the staple of the 3rd race.. every year they build that
Who said that?
look at past races dude... if it wasnt going to be in there then y would they leave the landing there???
heard the course will go through chainsmoke near the bottom, past the turkey rock

the last weekend of August. i believe the dates are 29-31.
rumors are awesome. Greg said another rumor was they'll use some portion of Powerline. Which led me to think...'My God!" That road to get to Powerline is pure fear at race speed!" :biggrin: It's not big deal to just ride it fast...but racing down that rock strewn thing...Pucker!
It's not set in stone but it is an idea that is being thrown around
My favorite line there!!!!!!! To bad I will not be racing it. Next year.....
Rumor has it that the new connector to powerline will be done before the race (2 weeks), which I believe is just an extension of powerline so it would be something like Ninja bob > longer powerline. Instead of ballin jack > powerline .
this is the only correct thing in this thread I think...
there is a connector trail being built, but I haven't heard word one about any part of powerline/ninja bob/chainsmoke being used in a race course.
the title of this thread should just be Snowshoe Rumor Mill.
i heard they're going to be using the shuttles for the next race in an effort to save money by not running the Western lift.

lame
I wish whoever took Brad's computer would give it back so that he could just come on here and set everyone straight.
My vote: make it fast. I really liked the high speed sections and steep turns in the last few races.

obviously, he is just adding to the BS.
Ditto. The ones from the first race that were still on Intro/WW course were soooo sick. I just about peed myself every time I came through couple of those I was having so much fun.
The upper rock garden was a blast too. Gotta keep a good mix for sure.
My vote: Make it technical, again. Speed in open sections is easy. Tech skills in the tight switchbacks and rocks is where its at.
This course was a great mix. One or two pedal sections, lots turns/corners/switchbacks, a couple gaps, some high speed, and lots of rock.
What's so fun about that. You ride that stuff out your back door.
Speaking of your back door....two words. Timing System. 3 more...have a race. 3 more words...it would be SICK!!!
haha, how is that?
lame
just adding to the already amusing rumor mill...
hope i didn't hurt anyone's feelings

Yeah, I liked the last race course too. That said, lower hairball beats the snot out of you so it's hard to ride a whole bunch of runs on Friday and Saturday and still go fast on Sunday. Again, not a complaint just a preference.
Thats what Southern Rocks is for. 
I have not been on my DH bike since the last SS race and not one single run or all my practice runs together was I ever tired on that course. I remember after my first run down the course I remember thinking to myself,..."Was that a full run?" I could not believe how quick and easy it was for me.

They will never finish down Powerline... theres no where to finish lol... and chainsmoke would def be a good finish
I hear there are going to be flaming circles of death!!!!!!
Very creative "rumor!"i heard they're going to be using the shuttles for the next race in an effort to save money by not running the Western lift.
BUT.....not funny.......at all! 
I'm with profro on this one:
But I'm always happy with what Brad and crew come up with..........looking forward to the finale!
that would be fun!!
no idea what we're going to do for #3 still in the brainstorming phase.
check this video and results out for now- http://ride.snowshoemtn.com/
Brad brad!! Got a size medium bike I could borrow & I'll be happy to go!
i would be dissapointed if i meant for it to be funny, but if you couldn't tell by now, i could care less. it was just an attempt to poke fun at all the first-class speculators we are blessed to have here at Ridemonkey.Very creative "rumor!"

If you met him, there isn't even a rude hair on him...and that dude is HAIRY!i would be dissapointed if i meant for it to be funny, but if you couldn't tell by now, i could care less. it was just an attempt to poke fun at all the first-class speculators we are blessed to have here at Ridemonkey.
