- super rad!
Due to popular demand, a "Masters" category has been added. 35+ and no skill level breakdown so if you are over 35 you can choose to race Pro, Am, intro or this Masters class...
whoa now...how about a fatty's class for the 200+lb club?! i'm claiming discrimination! i was born fat but people can lie about their age! 
What's first prize for 35+? I'm thinking of pulling an Andy...
sorry man...people have to like you for you to be like andyWhat's first prize for 35+? I'm thinking of pulling an Andy...
weather check: weather.com is calling for sunny, low 70's for both days
Can we race both Pro & Masters 35+ class?

Yay! I'm old! See ya there.
Nice, seems like we are pulling a lot of people out of hibernation for this race.
all you old guys pipe down there, you get what you get and if you do good you won't be disappointed.
You might be onto something. However...the guys in 35+ that don't win will whine like no other.
I vote 2 race runs...because I'm greedy...and mistake prone.
Ok I will just rock the pro class & give some of the young guns a run for the money..
Anyone know how much it costs to camp at Grandfather campground? Do we have any sort of group rate?
Lookin forward to hanging out and riding.
Kenan $20 at Grandfather I just booked a sight for Sat. night. Their number is
1-800-788-2582. My spot is T69 if you can get around there somewhere.

I was thinking about staying there also.
$20? Any primitive camping around like in Pisgah at Mills River, Curtis Creek, etc?
^^
Primitive in the sense that it is tent/car camping - but they have "adequate" restroom & shower facilities. More like Davidson River than Mills River IMO.

There is plenty of camping in Wilson's Creek if you don't want to pay to camp. I hear that you can put 2 tents on one site.
who needs showers with so many rivers/streams nearby?
People who can beat little kids in bike races around the block...
Jump off the dam a few times at Hound Ears and you'll be clean as a whistle..
That'll work. Who'd be interested in splitting a site with me?
Don't everyone jump at once.
I beleive everyone's afraid...lol
shouldn't you be busy backing out of something?Don't everyone jump at once.
Pirate Race Productions' first post-Austin gig will be announcing the Dirty Bird on Sunday! I'm stoked to be part of this awesome event, and help support Southern DH.

You gotta give Trill Will the mike...
Cecil said he wants to share a tent with you Butch....
trilliams gonna be sharin the mic fosho. were getting showers up here almost daily but the tracks stayin bone dry. the boys did a good job with drainage. its a lot rootier now than in the videos and that rhythm section is burly. it put the hurt on me earlier today
I'm down with that.
Camping at Wilson's or splitting a place at Grandfather? There are going to be a ton of people looking to camp. Everyone should crowd around T69.
check it yo
Jump off the dam a few times at Hound Ears and you'll be clean as a whistle..
A whistle covered in pesticides and fertilizers from the upriver golf course?
Thats debatable.
On another note...my fork now has violent, audible top-out after a full speed run through the whoops today. Something tells me its not gonna be pretty when I open it up.

they will both have mics, we got it covered..
Covered in dream sauce...
Race highlights will include:
-a trill will "hot seat" where the fastest rider can sit surrounded by redbull girls and PBRs until another, faster rider dethrones him (For women's racers, you'll be surrounded by me and extra PBRs to make me look better).
-A phantom "trail grill" that encapsulates the "freegrill" lifestyle. If you're willing to hike and "earn your burns" then you can get up on some gratis bubba burgers...Some things are worth the climb. Of course, the grill is of questionable access status for bikers and if you encounter a ranger the best strategy is to refer to the activity as "high-calorie birdwatching."
-a literal "rhythm" section, we've invited an all-star drum circle cast featuring major hippies from the last widespread panic, THE dead, and phish comeback shows. They'll be mashing out a beat to help everyone get the doubles dialed. Still debating on whether or not to situate them between the tape, who wouldn't love to ghostride their bike at speed into a full on drum circle?
-alligator berm. One of the berms contains a real live alligator. Special prize if you figure out which one
-in addition to youth and masters, we're adding an "animal costume" category. Fastest run in an animal costume wins something good. Special note, "naked human" counts as an animal and "naked female human" is likely the fastest costume in existence.
sweet...i do believe the Tubby may be going shirtless...or perhaps boxers only for the best bear suit
Damn, unfortunately I do not think I will be making the race. However if anyone wants to borrow my Scooby costume let me know.
Just ignore the stains...
hey-oh! this thread just got real interesting. That chick is hot and I like what Scoobie is doing there.
