this was sent 2 minutes ago from the SolVista Trail crew - NEW DH track for one of the G3 rounds...Buck Nasty. Also, you may want to bring a chain tool for some weird reason. Best to have one, just in case.

memorize the trails for your runs early via trail tour videos...nico would do it:

Did HB build that rockbox?

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

So stoked! Who all will be there? I really need a place to sleep!

 

[PatBranch]

Just sleep in your car again! I really want to go!

 

[CRoss]

A flat piece of ground, a tarp, two bike tires and four 10" nails, and you are set. It worked out great for three nights last year at Crested Butte.

Haha, the problem is much more complex than needing more than a tent to sleep in.

 

[CRoss]

excuses excuses.

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

Oh I wish you could understand.

 

[PatBranch]

Suck it up princess.

Somebody still thinkin' about all those wheels you had to re-true at Durango? :biggrin:

Stikman wheels did not need repairing...they lasted forever.

Hey Spomer, I was checking out the solvista site, I do not see a video of this new buck nasty trail....am I blind or is there not a vid?

 

[c2001]

I would like to see drifter included in a race but im definetly down for some chainless action!!!

This would make sense.

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

I'm so pumped! Can't wait! That rock garden looks pretty rowdy.

Which trail is Buck Nasty? Can anyone give a description of it?

 

[c2001]

bucky nasty is being finished this week. it's an "expert" only trail with rocks, big jumps and speedy sections. all the jumps will have go-arounds, but it's gonna be rough & fast...a true downhill track in the traditional sense.

snowskilz, i think buck nasty will make up for drifter not being in the mix.

So really this race is going to be the first time it has been used? Sick!

 

[c2001]

yup, freshy freshy!

No chainless! I hate chainless! Sorry everyone, I'm a hater.

Chainless Silky is crazy fun and flowy. Taking the chain of and putting back on is some effort - but it is worth it!

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

With chainless, seeing as I've never raced chainless, should you take off your derailure as well so it doesn't slap around or bend?

 

[dhrace507]

It is 'Buc Nasty', not Buck.

 

[jonKranked]

ok n00b question time but I gotta know........ where is sol vista?

that and saving weight.

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

Would the der. slap around a bunch without a chain? I've never actually rode a bike chainless.

Duct tape.

I'm thinking I'll tape around my bb too in order to provide a little resistance when I press on the cranks.

zstyle - Come on ya pansy. Don't spoil the fun.

15 miles north of Winter Park. They started last summer with 4 trails and they're up to 8 now, a few beginner trails and several mid and expert level. They have some of the best put together trails for DH racing around (although my favorite this year has been Snowmass). They also have Whistler type bike lifts.

The website also has details including detailed video trail tours. http://bikesolvista.com/

Are you going to be there?

 

[Bicyclist]

I would think a thick plastic O-ring between the BB and cranks would be ideal.

 

[CRoss]

No chainless! I hate chainless! Sorry everyone, I'm a hater.

I would think being a coach you would love chainless. What better way to test and prove your fundamental skills on a DH than racing it chainless.

.....but fat people have a bit of an advantage; i'm so going to win this.

I seem to remember all 130lbs of Ryan Sutton winning the chainless at final D a few years back. The weight thing is overrated.

I love chainless, lets do all three races that way!!!

 

[FlipFantasia]

final bikepark/worca phat wednesday goes tomorrow night, chainless a-line, yearly tradition! chainless rules, prove your skills, not your pedaling skills, mine are probably lacking!

Hey, I'm with you Buell. I'm not driving 16 hours to bitch and moan about physics. Full grips for the win!

 

[BRIANBUELL]

Chainless is my forte!!! I do carry some momentum, so that helps! Ryan Sutton is just plan fast, no other explanation for that, I like to believe it helps just a wee bit!

I never said I wouldn't do it, I just don't prefer it.
