The problem with moving the sports up the road is that we will then have 3 start locations. Trail 14 for the beginners, the first road crossing for the sports, and the top of everyone else. Also, no one wants to climb up teh road to trail 14 to avoid the waterfall; you have alot of riding to do on the new course. alot

Plus, if you want to race the upper section than race expert, you can't be a sport forever........can you?

Not only will this really improve your sprint, but it will also bring in a new, more diverse group of DHers who may have an alternative lifestyle. :thumb:
I'm planning on riding on Saturday. Don't know where or how I'm gonna stay b/c I don't have any dough for a hotel. I may be stuck having to sleep in my truck that night.

Summerville, SC
See you guys up there. Leaving Summerville, SC in approx. 45 minutes. I will be in beginner(never DH before) on gunmetal gray bullit. Hopefully I will get to make some runs tomorrow. Anyone think Harpers will have an Avid 8" rotor adapter?
