hey Paul, heard you're in the neighborhood. Riding up w/ Mike?
I'll be there. Anybody else from morgantown heading up?
I'll be there.
Ill be there...nick you better take lots and lots of pictures!
yeah, that's all i'll be doing since i don't have a sweet liquid 65!
see you there!
HAHAHA Your funny. sell your kideney, you only need one. haha.
Yeah ill be there, im from Motown as well.
i'm a'comin
I'm already here. I spent a majority of the day running course tape and raking a few extra sections.
Race is $50 right?
looks like i'll be joining y'all for the dh tomorrow. my awesome wife has volunteered to watch the newborn AND the 2 year old while daddy goes racing!
Where are the results and the pictures? Especially of yours truly #198.
Ditttoooooo I'm in need of some pix of #120.
Any word on the dude that got bucked on the finish line jump?
Only that the jump was bulldozed immediately.
Not before me and the race pace team sessioned it after the race haha
I want pictures of me going through the last 3 jumps with caution tape and a race gate rapped around me b/c it was too close on that step up. Lol I didnt even know I was draging the gate.
I hope that guy is alright, but yeah Wisp bull dozed that jump almost immediately after the race was over. My chain broke right before the first jump during my race run. When I got to the bottom I went to the car and threw a chain on and went back up for another try at "race pace". Came down the race course again and when I got to the bottom and saw the dozers taking it out.
#195 if anybody has pics
#195 if anybody has pics
What did happen? I just heard bits and pieces while I was waiting at the top.
haha that was you ? good times man, you still cleared all of those even with that extra weight dragging with you.
Didn't see it myself but I hear tell the dude came up short and executed a textbook lawn dart on the finish line double. They announced at awards that he had feeling/movement in all the extremities but the obvious concern was a broken neck so they took the necessary precautions. That's all I've heard.
I hope someone took a picture of me giving Paul a high five right before the first jump during my practice run. That was epic steeze.
Haha yeah to bad it cost me a mess of time trying to rip the tape off at first then i just said f it and rode.
Wow, hopefully he has a full recovery.
Results and pics will be posted ASAP. As for Jack, he suffered two fractured virtebretes in his neck and several more fractures throughout his back. As far as I know, he is expected to make a full recovery but only time will tell. In the meantime, please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks to everyone who attended!
No, thanks to you and your crew for putting together the best course yet!
My wife said it looked like he tried to roll the first part of the double, but hit it with too much speed and front wheel cased the lander. She said it was a pretty scary scene, and it took the medics a long while to get there. We both wish the guy the best!
that's nasty. i'll be pulling for him.
Yeah that was an insane crash...that poor guy and the women who went and moved him (hello, we do not move people with possbile neck and/or spinal injury). poor poor guy. AND what I thought was really sad...this poor kid (Jack) was laying on the side of the race course in agony, the crowd is silent, and then this women gets up to cheer for someone and is the only person in the crowd actually cheering while everyone else is holding their breathe for the rider down. shallow shallow people. Get better soon mister Jack.
in my recollection, jack stood up of his own accord ... consuela (sp?) was trying to get him to lay back down and keep his helmet on. definitely a sickening crash, i hate to see that kind of stuff. glad to hear he's got full movement though. lots of back injuries going around as of late.
I spoke to Consuelo last night and Jack is expected to make a full recovery - Amen. If fact he may be going home as early as today.Thank you everyone for your concern
