So, you are finally seeing the NORBA crap effect you.

We'll be rocking Windrock. Anyone want to throw together an ghetto, time ourselves race that weekend. Say... 3 courses, 3 combined times. Winner and loser takes home a 6 pack of PBR tall-boys.

No way, that's not racer enough for this pinner! I just got my kit waxed for posing at Sugar so you know I'll be full effect, peep my sport racer sponsors. I'll never get my cover shot on Declone racing for beer at Windrock.:biggrin:

Yeah, it's crazy expensive...that's why I'll be there to cheer on friends and watch the experts; and while they're warming up and such I'm going out and hitting up some trails around boone. So I get more time on the bike for a lot less money.

ah...i see. i sent several emails to them asking for clarification but never got an answer. i'm going to try and work out some lodging stuff so i can race DH. i figure if Mike went through the trouble of making some Cycletherapy jerseys for us that i might as well go ahead and race :thumb:
sorry for my previous rants, i'm just a little bitter over the national format......i miss the old local race.

Just got in from Sugar - whew - Juan and I spent 2.5 days of
pure work on the slalom with Eric and a couple guys there helped.
it's like 3.30 am - Course should be pretty good for the DS -
Had a good bit of dirt and plenty of compliance to let us build!
The course is estimated at 40+ seconds for PRO times!
Starts out with a short couple pedals out of the gate into a small
set of R hand berms to a small step-up to a set of L berms-
to a rock garden to R berms to a tweny five foot set of triples-
to L berms to straight to R berms to slight up hill and series of
3 open non bermed gated turns with some offcamber - to a roller
to a couple small rut berms to 3 open non bermed gated turns
with some offcamber to a set of wall berms to a quick log drop
of a foot and a half. Then a pedal straight across off camber to a set
of R hand berms to pedal straight with a little off-camber to a
Big Double-a little taller than waist high and 25+ ft. gap that is
filled in pretty well and almost as fast to roll. to a set of left hand
turns to a long off camber turn back up to the last flat gate
to couple pedals at the finish-should rock!
We worked so much we hardly rode it but, It seemed to flow
very well and seemed to be rideable for everyone-
seems like it will work out to be harder with the more speed
one would take. I will post a couple crappy phone pics later today.

Hah Hah! I knew when I talked to Eric you two couldn't resist going and doing the course. So...where is the patented 180 degree "Juan whip" berm at? I assume it is at the mid-way point? It's his signature.
Good news!

Yeah Norba may not but, it's dual slalom racing members actually do
deserve at least that, some effort. Slalom probably requires more Know how
than any other course construction. Most of the time it's just up to the
people at the resort hosting the race. Norba just says build a course pretty
much. Shows up and says ok or correct something if they see it dangerous.
So it is up to the resort to what the slalom turns out to be. Most of the

The true thanks here is to Sugar! By the fact that they gave a crap about
the slalom having some effort put into it. They ask for help from experienced
course builders and accepted any instruction from us to make that happen.
I can't say EVERYONE will think the course is awesome, but Everyone can
at least say there was effort put in and that is what I've
always wanted when I travel to a National Level event.

Butch those whip berms are in every turn! hahaha
No actually there are a couple though, We really both had alot of
input back and forth on every aspect of the course, argued some
but, tried to check and balance everything! And besides a couple small
tweaks we will try to put in Wed. before the race we feel that we hit
pretty dang close to it rolling out like we had invisioned it! It will be hard
but, fun for sure - should have a good flow for sure! Couple pics soon!

Manimal, if there is any race you should go to it's Snowshoe if at all possible. High speed lift, tons of trails to choose from. You do runs all day until your arms fall off and get up and do it again the next day.
