[26West BikePark]

26 West invites YOU and your BIG BIKE, on Sunday, September 28, to come test the 2008 State Champs DH track! It will be open only to expert and pro riders from 1 – 4pm. The full DH track offers 800’ of pure racing fun, and is the first run to descend the entire park.
The Village DH trail is in perfect shape and is nearly half of this year’s DH track. It will be open to all classes of racers, with beginners finishing on cobblestones in the village. All racers who are not beginners - Pro/Am – will descend 400’ further to a new finish area.
Race Schedule:
10/17 Fri 10-4pm DH Practice, Pro DH Qualifying 4-6pm
10/18 Sat 9:30-11am DH Mandatory Practice/Inspection, Rider Meeting in Village 11:30am, Race Starts 12pm at upper lift station

Come check out the new track, grill out and chat about who will win a crown this year!
RIDE 26 WEST!

Am I reading this correctly? Qualifying on Friday?

No slalom this time?

 

[26West BikePark]

Pro men and women will qualify Friday afternoon. Racers unable to qualify are encouraged to show up early for Saturday's practice, attend the rider meeting and then race as a last seed.

Slalom racing will make a return to the mountain in early November. The official word will come on the heels of a completed course.

Wait, I didn't get a crown last year. But I will accept a belated tiara.

My daughters said you can have either the purple Barbie Tiara with gold speckles and comb teeth that help it stay in your hair...or the pink boa feather covered Sleeping Beauty tiara with lifelike replica photo of Briar Rose.

bummer, 1.5 hour practice on saturday? i can't swing the whole hotel/2 day off bit this year and 1.5 hours isn't enough time for me to practice and coach noah through a course as well. oh well, i'll try and make it for a full day of lift riding sometime before closing.
