Anyone going up to Sugar this Sat the 14th? I have been planning to go up there this weekend to pre ride the course before the National. Can't make it up there the next weekend, so it will have to be this weekend. Anyone going to be there?

thing?
Juan and I may be there for the weekend.
thing?
Juan and I may be there for the weekend.
I think he's trying to round up some guys to go with him. Give him a call, I'm sure he'd love carpool with ya.
And what time is that?
I am pushing it back a week or two so I can go race Sugar. I most likely will be driving up every day. It will be cheaper for me to do that.
Cecil what the time frame for this trip on Sat. I'm almost positive im going.
If you want you can stay at my house. About 1 hour to Sugar.
At this time I don't know what time the lift starts. It 10am then we will need to leave Greenville by 7:30.
The lift is open from 10:00-5:30pm
take pictures damnit! especially of this leaping lizards sodomizing creek gap thing.
Went there this past weekend with 6 others. Most of the hill has a big ditch dug in it. Only the line under the lift was rideable without having to push up hill. There was a big rock at the creek gap (a solid 6 footer) that somehow got moved during the day ????? Nothng new but it's still fun. Take plenty of sun screen.
I'll be in the area so I was planning on it...sounds like it's gonna be crowded. Might have to pass since I was just there last week.
I'm still hoping to go, but it's looking a little iffy since my friends haven't confirmed whether or not they can go.
Where are the cheap places to stay near Sugar?

The smoketree inn right down the street on 105 is on the cheap.
smoke trees.
smoke trees.
There will be 4 of us coming up from Gville and will be there around 10am.
Zac, Whats the deal with the transportation up there?
crowded? Sugar? Last weekend the parking lot was loaded with cars and all afternoon I crossed paths with 1 group of 3 guys.
TO clarify, what he is saying is everything is rideable. But when you come out of Donovan's Dungeon under the lift, you can't go straight across to the old expert course. You have to go up and around the gigantic ditch to get to the old course...about 10-15 up...no big deal.Clos said:
Wasn't me..but was happy to see it gone. Such a fun jump...after all those years of going down the bank, around a tree up a hump and out to flat ground.Clos said:
I just talked to Eric at Sugar. He said Juan may come help layout the Dual Slalom course and he was waiting to hear bach from Juan. If so, that is a huge step. What's the final verdict ?
Oh...and to those who don't know. They're trying to bench the off camber in a little better in Lizards Lane and doing a few little tweeks here and there. The only main change from last year is he took out that left side drop near the end on the slope. It got blown out over the winter. He's gonna throw in something there after Lizards Lane though.
So what's the deal with the rock drop thing at the top. I read where you said the entrance you'd hoped for was cut but is it meant to be rolled still or have they worked out the backside so you can huck it. Seems like the speed you can carry with a straight run up to it = huck or eat ****.
The hard part of doing that drop was that you were turning 90 degrees to your left and uphill only about 2 feet and were basicly dropping/turning/rear wheel sliding all at once.
I guess we'll know this weekend. I went to hit it Saturday but there wasn't a soul around but me.
But is the middle "step rock" back in place? To me, even if you made that turn without it you were basically trying to get lucky on an endo roll-in to make it. With a straight shot, I'd think you're guaranteed to halfway fly off it and not be able to get your front wheel to stick to the steps.
well I couldn't get any friends to go so I'm out for this weekend.
Well looks as I will not be coming now. Maybe Sunday now. My mother is in the hospital and will not get out till Sat now. She took my dads med. by mistake. Her heart rate has be around 38 to 44 beats a min sence yesterday. The Doc says the Meds. should clear out of her system by then. We will see.
I said a little prayer for her.
Man, sorry to that Cecil, we'll say a little prayer for tonight. Well at least the doctor seems optimistic about the whole thing, so that's good news.
Thanks guys!!!
Sugar was rockin Saturday.
How long did the lift take to get to the top?
3 hours. Don't go.
I was pretty sure we were getting 2 runs an hour.
