Damn. Didn't take into consideration that if I didn't quali for Pro, I'd get dissed on the photo op. Maybe since nobody had a wide angle lens, I wouldn't fit in the shot....
I doubt it bro. He was on course qualifying with me at the time of qualifying. After qualifying, they wouldn't let anybody near the course anymore. All the photogs, including Sven(a.k.a. Pornstache) stayed glued to the race course on Sunday. I was all over the rest of that damn mountain like a 17 year old on his first boob though!!!©2001 said:awesome!
make sure sven gets a vid of you butch.
while im not saying that i would have qualified anyways, but i think the reason i was so far off from qualifying was because i did so many runs before my run. next year im registering early so i dont have my qualifier at 4:30.bizutch said:"Who wasted themselves on the rest of the trails, even though they qualified for Pro, because the mountain was the drug?"
Thanks B, don't forget about Mr David Camp, he also had a sweet weekend. It was a good day!Beast said:Congrats to Brian Buell and Chris Boice - near the top 30 of a 120+ pro field. Freakin sweet
thats exactly what I did. I was so tired sunday, i barely felt like racing my run.bizutch said:"Who wasted themselves on the rest of the trails, even though they qualified for Pro, because the mountain was the drug?"

3:15 actually. i am proud of my sandbagging waysbizutch said:Butch here. Damn, did I put faces to names over the last 2 days.
Met Sven, Ska Todd, Fury, Transcend and so many others.
Hey Sven, I'm gonna PM you my phone # so you can get the 411 on us down in Asheville.
As for qualifying. I can't remember who landed 4th but Herndon is in 5th or 6th with Keene right on him. Garrit Beytagh fell in at 8th or 9th.
Only other one I know is Ryan Boch popping into 15th! 3 riders from the South in the top 15...heh.
Qualifying was strange though. Last word was that the Am top time was around 3:18...landing the guy that did it somewhere in the top 30 of Pro? It did dry out a ton by the time the Am's came down but Herndon's time was a 3:05 on decently dry course. For Am to rip a time like that...a shame.
I can honestly say I can't be any happier. I put in so many runs yesterday and today before my qualifier, it was tough even just steering the bike. 3 dead stops on course, 1 being behind a tree, but after seeing what 60th's cutoff time was, I wouldn't have gotten in. SO FUN!!!!!
Me, Jeremy R, SoEast Matt, profro, Bloch, Tom V, motomike, mooney...we just put in run after run after run on all those freaking trails!! There were black marks on the berms by days end. It's hard to even care about the race...:love: :love:
ahaha, he called it at dinner that he was dropping in that night into our room. Sure enough, around 2:30, the dude comes through the damn ceiling. We were in 208, right next to them I think...crazy bastards.DHS said:ah that was you. sorry about that, they were trying to make it way to our room.. 222

Word, wrist just banged up then?ska todd said:I've been icing my shoulder and wrist all day and eating Advil like it's candy. US Open was dope! Props to all the peeps who came out & shredded the Nor'east gnarage! Booyah!! Oh, and the tequila is for those who didn't qualify.

cougars seek young men, young men seek milfs.S.K.C. said:So technically speaking, what is the difference between a Cougar and MILF?
Milf has kids, Cougars do notS.K.C. said:Lol...O.K. now I get it.
I was gonna say - it takes a lot of perserverence to go through concrete... and a lot of Jack.
Frisbee w/ Cougars... lol nice... So technically speaking, what is the difference between a Cougar and MILF?
AHH HAAAHHH!!! That is hilarious. Hey Fraser, I could not find a single person signed up for the the Fraser Fan Club on mountain all weekend. You're more of a marked man than me. Felt good to know I'm not public enemy #1.:love:DHS said:.... definitely bummed i didn't meet transcend. oh well. ....
He was rockin' a Santa Cruz he got from filming some commercial? He was also wearing a hockey jersey.JohnnyBoyDH said:What was Beneke riding? and pics of him? Bad ass result!
yahhhh that would be mrs. quick. i told JR that once and he flipped :love:DHS said:were you the guys with the hot mom?

I'm pretty sure it was safe to say.stiksandstones said:This thread is collecting page views faster than the fontana thread and is filled with good vibrations.
Safe to say the U.S. Open was the 1st premiere MTB event in USA this year?
Much props to the pros that made it out there and lend support to the race.
bizutch said:Everything but 1 thing. It was sort of an unspoken thing with all the riders that you could cut in line if it was decently short wait and it was so easy to get separated from your group on the mountain that by the bottom, there were 10 other guys in between you.
Nobody fussed about it which was odd but very courteous and sort of unique compared to other resorts with the lack of anymosity.
But WTF is up with the pubic hair challenged teens who would straight up jack the line as a group? Multiple times I watched groups of follicly challenged punies pop in in teams of 3-4.
One troupe of panty waste popped in front of me and Milby's wife and I checked them. "Where you goin?" "You were standin' there man"
It continued for a sec and the kid was like "I'm not afraid" and me going all testosterone with "You should be" and started to walk toward him before the little genetic spooges would leave.???
Man i was so stoked to see Bennie's name in the results...and not surprised to see him going fast, we were teammates way back on Barracuda mid 90's, he was so fast before he got on Barracuda, and after as well. anybody know what he's up to these days or have any contact info for him? pm me please...his sponsor was listed as "old world plaster"? i'm sure it's some business he doing.Transcend said:He was rockin' a Santa Cruz he got from filming some commercial?

Jurgen Beneke - Don't call it a comeback.
