There will be one of those coming up pretty soon I am pretty sureCiaran said:You could hold your own underground ghetto race. 5 bucks a rider, winner takes all.
All you need is a hill, two walkie talkies and a stopwatch.
That sounds like fun. I wish there was somewhere around here to do one.
Damn....I want to test those bikes, but I want to race...I think i'll race.
heard there might be a race in ensenada this weekend. check out www.nofriends.com. manny would post it there.
You mean Parkfield? It's like a hour and half north of SLO.
DS: Nothing you have to clear. The tallest mound is like 2'. Basicly just sprint and go over 2 tabletops and a jump with 7" whoops. The last jump is stepdown which is kind of fun.
DH: I ended up not racing it last year, but it was a fun course. There are 2 really sudden/hard g-outs, some fun jumps, and one big huck depending on how fast you go on the expert course.
I did a practice run on the course and was allover the place. The begginner/sport and expert/pro course were not marked, or not clearly enough, so I wasn't sure where I was supposed to go (because I wanted to practice for my class). Maybe they marked them the next day for the race...
The whole thing is really fun. I want to stay and camp this year. Maybe I should do XC, if it's not too hot.

Is there an 8 hr marathon style or relay style underground DH race?
What's relay style?
Is the Castaic Lake race DH? http://www.teambigbear.com/events.php
I have the Toro Series, Elings on the 9th and Parkfield scheduled. Am I missing anything?

example:mtnbrider said:
Fontana - DH racer starts from the top of the course, tags a "sprinter" at the bottom of the last rock section before The Wall. Sprinter grabs DH bike (or whatever DH racer rode) from DH racer and sprints like crazy along the wall and climbs up the fire road onto the DH-FreeRide "course" (for those pre-LooNatic hucktastic Fontana glory newbies, it's the piece of hill above the 4X course with lots of boulders and a drop onto the fireroad). Sprinter, at the end of the climb, tags the black sleeveless shirt wearing gnar core hucker and hucker drops with a 360 to the finish line jump. Hucker with a super Monster T gets automatic 5 secs penalty.
That sounds fun.
makes you wonder where downhillzepher went huh?Shyrmp said:
