Onestly you people need to stop complaining you almost didn't even have an o cup series. Also there are very little rocks to work with at horse shoe so we all worked with what we had If I were you I would be happy with what u get

Maybe you should read above you? Most of us were sticking up for you. All of us who rode the Fall Classic know you guys can build a fun, safe course. I am personally stoked to see more tracks from you guys, and think you do a great job keeping the racing fun and safe.

I think most people forget that its just DH racing in an amateur setting. Most of us just want to get out, scrub some jumps and have fun.

you realize it will cause you from not being able to race this course...if youre caught. Jon was pretty strict on on the rules of it being poached.

A manager at horseshow escorted about 10 guys over for a run. Wouldn't say no to that haha

Times around 1:15 (Only got one run) and a decent hike from the lift away to get to the course...
Silty, couple of jumps, few rock gardens. Nothing to crazy but it felt great!
Should be a great race!

It's pretty similar, the last climb up is a bitch. Can't ride up it's to silty.

And the lower section is yes, there is a step up that is fine to case, and a step down that is easy to clear so everything is rollable.

I've got a course walk video of the track that i took but i dont think Horseshoe or Tuf Rack would be very happy if i posted it?
