I've been hearing refences to it, but no explanations, when i look it up on google all i get is race results. Anyone care to bring me out of the dark or point me to a website?

mountaincross racing. in the current format, there are 4 riders. therefore mountaincross racing is often referred to as 4x...

 

[nicklin]

imagine a 4 person BMX race with 26 inch wheels, disc brake, 4-5 inch forks, sometimes 4-5 inch rear travel, and a whole lot more exciting than dual slalom. Also known as Lopescross.

fun

Sounds like alot of fun, what are the courses like, what kinda rigs do they run?

 

[axlvid23]

they run typical dual slalom rigs..like 4in travel bikes..or hardtails..an example would be like a azonic DS-1..or an giant AC..or a yeti asx...or something of this nature..the courses normally have burms, doubles, triples, and rollers and stuff like that..lots like BMX racing ...but on mountian bikes on a gravity fed course

 

[nicklin]

intense tazer, turner rail, specialized enduro sx, ac's, giant warps, and a whole lot of hardtails from all the usually good dual race bike makers.

Nor Cal theres a course at Sandhill. There's also one at Sea Otter Classic. I don't think you can ride it except for the race.
