Yeah. I just got home. I will try to post it soon.anyone got a helmet cam from the course.
Probably because we ran down Ninja Bob up top, very twisty and somewhat tedious to race on. It was one of the best weekends at Snowshoe in my memory, the weather was amazing and the trails were riding great.Wow, that had to be a long race course. Just over 5 mins long for the fastest time. Not to many tracks out there plus 4 mins these days....

Ya seriously. It seems like 2 years ago they were THE east coast race resort and now you hardly hear about them. What gives?Results?
Since when did Snowshoe DH become irrelevant? I love that place...just had to stay close to home this season, thanks to the resorts here actually hosting race, but man I miss it.
Maybe something to do wtih the resurgence of chasing USAC points. I wish Snowshoe would have at least 1 USAC race for UCI points. I think it would make them more relevant again.Ya seriously.

Yes, I agree.All three races have been 4+ minute courses. Snowshoe does a really great job of laying out courses that have just about everything in them. High speed, jumps, rocks, pedaling, mud, grass, berms, flat turns, roots, loam, hardpack, off-camber, etc. Plus they tape their tracks really wide which is the best. I love picking lines.

I came through the rockgarden as he was on the stretcher on my last practice run. Guess everyone heard him screaming from the lift. Hope John has a speedy recovery!Great race. The weather was good and the course was fun.
The only downer was my teammate John Leslie getting flown out Sunday morning with a broken femur. He's still in Charleston in the hospital. Doing good but it will be a long recovery. As far as the response goes, snowshoe seemed to do a great job from my perspective.
My race run pretty much blew. I crashed on my last practice run on the soft landing aftet the only drop in Ninja Bob. With John being injured, I was a bit frazzled at the start and had a series of mistakes. Even with that, it was a lot of fun.
I heard that Snowshoe would like to host a GES next year. I think that's where a lot of the people have gone. With that, they still had 110 racers on the start list.
I heard there was confusion on the number of points that Gerrit had so that's why he went to SS.

I was riding the lift and heard John hit the ground and then start yelling in pain for help. It was quite chilling. Good to hear he's doing good. Wishes for a good recovery. Yeah the Snowshoe Rescue crew is top notch. He was in the air within two hours I believe.The only downer was my teammate John Leslie getting flown out Sunday morning with a broken femur.
