yeah just hope it's not as cold and frozen as last time. i crashed literally every run getting all messed up in other tires frozen ruts.

i remember someone handed me a red bull at the top, but when i tried to drink it i realized i had lost all feeling in my face and so it went all over...and then it instantly froze. yeah, true story. i heard it was 13 degrees at the top with the wind.

Uhhh...
As I remember last year they gave away a whole box of shirts and crap at awards. One of my buddies got a helmet, and another got a brand new Kona Cowan frame that Das Rad House donated.
Thats on top of trophies for top finishers.

Edit: Did pro men get cash too?

......that is true! For winning the the Mens Am 21+, I got a Dakine heli pack, trophy, and a Das Rad Haus tee. But what I meant...., it would be cool to have some event swag...(ie- 2005 Stevens Pass Two Wheeled Warriors of Winter) ...that is what the trophy said. It was lots of fun, but I might duck out this year. Hopefully they will allow more times between heats. You could not waste anytime down below last year, or else you missed your heat.

 

[muddy beast]

I cant wait for the race, regardless of how cold it gets!

Im prepared to bring my skiing camelback though so i can have a facemask, extra gloves, ect. but Im not sure...does anyone know if it is a good/bad idea to bring a backpack for the race? I figure if I fall on my back it will pad me :-D

Im anxious for the race though...my first race ever :-D.
In hopefully a long run of future succesfull races.

Are you planning on making an appearance?

 

[iridebikes]

that doesn't count! bicycle is called a bicycle because it has 2 wheels... unless you count those rollers in the back, then I guess those have 4...

 

[ChainWhip]

Thinking about it. You guys? My DHR may still be @ Turner for a refurb...

Yea, not sure about racing, but will be up for watch and picture taking.

 

[Lumberjack]

Hey Dude! I know this guy that might have a demo bike you could ride if need be.

 

[muddy beast]

so has anyone figured out were on brooks we race?

like I figure we start at the jump park, since they can close that off to skiers and snowboarders...but do we go left or right when the park splits?

 

[sad panda]

Left where it splits, avoiding all the funboxes. (From last year's experience.)

 

[muddy beast]

hmm alright...next time I go up ill check it out.

thanks.

 

[MotoXmg]

....last year, it stayed to the far left (or west). We started just down from the top of chair, and went to the very bottom.

 

[muddy beast]

Its coming up, a week from now.

whos going?

 

[SeaPig]

We are going to shoot it for the Bones Over Metal Podcast. Plus I will join in on the fun.

 

[muddy beast]

Well this sucks. After like 5weeks of anticipation and preporation, it now turns out I cant go. Last minute Hockey trip that is going to extend from the 5th-8th means I cant race. I will be over in Idaho on the 7th. Poop.

[Monkeybidnezz]

Slight spam, but I have a pair of almost new Kujos 2.65 and 2.6 Specialized rollers that I'll let go for pretty cheap if anyone needs a large volume tire.

 

[Eren]

ill still be there, still picture bitc%in it up, haha maybe ill take the camcorder get some good footage of people fAllin in da snow, hehe

 

[Dan89]

sounds like a lot more people are going this year its going to be interesting.. hopefully it wont be crazyness!

 

[Str8OutaBallard]

Hey if you had the choice would you run an air fork/air shock or coil/coil shock?

I've heard that changing temps can via changing oil viscosities lead to fork/shock damage...

what do you think? if I could figure out how to start a survey on here I would do it for this topic...

 

[ffonsok]

yeah im kinda worried about what bike i should use

 

[Dan89]

just worry about staying on your bike....

If I had unlimited choices, I would run a air fork with a coil shock. There is more oil volume in a fork, so more chance for something to happen. Also, a forks damping is more dependent on the oil than a shock is. If you do run a oil/coil fork, make sure you put the lighest weight oil you can in. If you do run air, the ride might feel weird until you add/subtract psi, because of altitude/temperature changes.

 

[Str8OutaBallard]

thanks for your input Kona-ryder... makes sense... I think if I can go I'm gonna ride air/air...

I'm willing to bet you won't feel a thing. I ride in the temps hugging freezing often and don't notice a change on any of my coil/oil gear.

 

[66]

I'm in.

 

[bibs]

Ive races it before. just worry about how soft the snopw is and staying on or running...does not matter what you run on your bike...

 

[Liquid10]

Stevens has a ton of new snow, and it is supposed to snow more tommorow. Bikes might not work too well if there is a lot of powder

 

[Fast&Smooth]

i know the temps def. affected my brakes last year. they didn't work worth a damn. the oil stopped flowing or something. back back home to warmer temps and it was like nothing had happened.

 

[sad panda]

Postponed!!!!!
Just got an email from Stevens, the race is postponed indefinitely because of the incoming storm.

Howdy,

Sorry, but the bike race is postponed due to the huge amount of snow we have on the way...

We will reschedule and post the new date on the web...

[muddy beast]
