New Brunswick NJ, or New Brunswick Nova Scotia?

from New Brunswick NJ it will be about 2 hours to Vernon Valley/Mtn Creek/Diablo unless there's no traffic and all the lights are green. New Brunswick is crowded and full of traffic lights and roundabouts until you get on the highway. You can take highway roads to just outside Vernon, once you exit the highway you're back on traffic lighted roads, many of them small with low speed limits. It may look like a quick shot on a map, but you won't be doing 70 mph the whole way that's for sure.

you sure you don't mean Newark and not New Brunswick? there's no large airport in New Brunswick, not the sort that would take commercial carrier flights from Sea-Tac.

from New Brunswick Nova Scotia you'd be better off with a helicopter, it's a long way. :D

Lets clear something up here. New Brunswick is its own province, as is Nova Scotia. They are connected, but two different places. Saying New Brunswick is a far drive from New Jersey is pretty vague as its a big place. New Brunswick borders with Maine. If you were close to the Border then it wouldn't be a very far drive........5 hours is my guess. If you were on the other side then the Helicopter would be handy as the drive would be twice as slong.

Smith was on the gas but qualified 7th after coming to a complete stop twice...as well as blowing both feet off the pedals after hucking the rock jump and living up to his new nick name, Sender.

1) you're wrong, and those results are finals, not qualifying
2) akula is wrong, and those results are qualifying, not finals
3) smith coincidentally got 7th in both qualifying and finals

It is #2.

That was qualifying, results I got were a jumbled mess though. They lumped everyone in together, super annoying, especially as it was live updating. Still messy afterwards.

There is live timing for each heat/run etc.

Smith is 7th in qualies for DH, finals is tomorrow afternoon.

Dh quali results here: http://live-timing.com/race2.php?r=13697&u=60

Coincidentally, Brendog just won GS. Hill second, Lopes 3rd.

how is it that there is an amateur in top 20 shouldnt he be racing pro..
Welcome to the US Open where you get to pick the category you race in. With the prizes given out for amateur it is very easy for people to race amateur. Why race and lose against World Cup pros when you can race and win a lot of good prizes in Amateur.

New Brunswick NJ, or New Brunswick Nova Scotia?
new brunswick nj, ha it ended up only taking about an hour and fifteen. i got there and was on the course at about 9:15 but got a flat about 30 sec in and didnt get a chance to do a run until my quali. a quick fall in a slow section kept me from qualifying but i will for sure be back next year i cant wait!

Paul Mitchell or Jeep?
Thats Jeep's way of getting a 1 hour on hour paid banner ad. They are probably not doing it this year. We will se but it has nothing to do with USA cycling and the train wreck they created in not being able to land TV time and with it sponsors like back in the late 90's in early 2000.

How the hell am I wrong, I never said they where race results, Saturday is Quali days usually. So I just posted those ones up as I wasn't doing much else with my time. Chur!

Arizona!
Pretty sure the guy that qualified first is only in his second year racing, and wasn't allowed to upgrade to pro to begin with.
correct started in 2007 as a intro rider... 2008 raced sport. finished 27th at the open. turned expert august of 2008. tried upgrading to pro early this year and they said no. so here I am racing usacycling expert. so im going to race amature at the us open as well.

look at last years winner neko. finished top 20 in pro as an amature....

I don't even care about the prize. I just want to have fun, support my team and have fun.

The 802
It rained just prior to Pro qualifying. Smith came down and told me it was super slipery in the rocks, I went 20 minutes later and was sideways twice before half way down. By the time Pro qualies ended it was way dry and by the time Ams. went is dusty.

do yourselves a favor. at least save your usual b*tching until after the actual race :banghead:

Nice helmet cam. That place pretty much looks like a big pile of rocks.

so you flew across the country in a hurry and didn't even qualify?
and you're happy with that?

sure bet your parents are just thrilled about that though.

Welll, you know what I meant, you didn't use the word "qualifying" which would be the norm :P For all I know (as a non-USofA-er) sunday is XC day or something!

thank you for being the 2d person to remind me that my general description wasn't Canuck-correct. the point was New Brunswick way up the coast or New Brunswick in the middle of New Jersey. I wasn't trying to get an A on Canuck geography, so feel free to give me an F.:biggrin:
