Dave, relax, sit back and enjoy the stupidity.all this talk about course building... as if that is all it takes to pull off a world cup. A good course is icing on the cake.
don't forget the xc track.... and 4x (i hear those are a real cheap investment)
Seriously Dave, I thought you were wearing your speed-o and drinking fruity umbrella drinks today
i switched to corona, remember....Seriously Dave, I thought you were wearing your speed-o and drinking fruity umbrella drinks today
Good explanation, thank you! Europe sounds fun!
theres a big rock there why aren't they using it as a feature?speaking of WC 4x tracks, here it is!!!
I know, it seems like you could build the La Bresse track anywhere. The problem is we couldn't produce the fans that La Bresse had for practice even for the finals.
Your crazy, have you ever ridden the east coast. Go ride pisgah
No lifts in Pisgah FYI. And while our riding in the south is cool, the burly stuff is all further north and they all have lifts.
you are aware that the cost to run a WC has two commas in it, right ?
where are these steep pisgah DH trails, can't seem to find any pics/vids of anything but xc stuff, though the xc looks pretty damn good.
depends on how you format it. Some regions use commas in lieu of decimal places for denominations less than $1.
Pisgah is the trail riding mecca of the universe.
Hallelujah, Brother! Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition.
regardless of the context this is the best quote I have read on here in a long time.
I take it you've never heard of Frank Loesser?
Totally, OT, but I stole it from Impatient Youth's "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition" on an early MRR compliation, who obviously stole it from Frank Loesser.
Jim, if there was one phrase that described the exact opposite of who YOU are, it would be "impatient youth"
Actually, I'm a mish mash - impatient middle ager rager.Jim, if there was one phrase that described the exact opposite of who YOU are, it would be "impatient youth"
It's defintely here, but it's all kept on the down low. Most anything here is just like Cali...a matter of time before it's shut down. The DH race trail at Sugar I laid out was pretty sick and we all spent lots of time cutting it...but NC just doesn't have world class facilities anywhere. Does it mean we shouldn't try??? Nope. :
I dont see your reasoning on why it shouldnt happen. Im sure we would leave the place better than the crappy travel trailers and four wheelers that are parked at the top of heartbreak ridge, Let alone the damage they cause. Besides we all own that land as taxpayers anyway and there are plenty of other national forests that have MTB, equestrian and OHV trails throughout. I would not want to see any damage done to such a wonderful place or do I ever think it will happen. My Point was that there are epic, steep DH possibilities in the eastern US such as pisgah.
You would have to go there to see the true potential. We rode heartbreak ridge last weekend and the descent was 3500 feet from the parkway to cabin creek although it was far from a DH trail. The potential is there though
Yeah, like I said, the terrain is not the problem.
We already had a WC in the South...and an Olympics too.If we want repeated World Cup races in the US, why in the world would we invite anyone to the South?
We like to tell ourselves that but, I think they dislike us all unilaterally.
i dont think i could deal with calling myself a Canuck. id rather take the abuse of telling everyone im a AmeriCAN
I have a northern Wisconsin accent and every time I go to Canada the other non-Canadian tourists assume I'm Canadian. They ask where I'm from, I say Denver and they look really confused.
Well, I kinda figured that you're about the self flagellation, I mean how long did you ride a foes???
5 or 6 years total...and im ready for more!Well, I kinda figured that you're about the self flagellation, I mean how long did you ride a foes???
