@carpy95 I believe they will open it up to more people this year.
the guy with the 29er looks kind of more detached from the bike high off the ground, doesnt take corners so aggrsively. is this has to do with 29ers or his bike has high bb?
i dont try to judge just wondering!
Will anyone give you dirty looks or try to make fun of you for what kind of bike you ride? It's possible but highly unlikely, and if they do just make sure to smoke them in the race. Trust me, anybody that's truly fast didn't get that way by focusing their energy worrying about whether or not somebody else likes to ride a different kind of bike than they do. All that matters is that you get out there and rip it up, whatever size wheeled bike you like to ride. For the record (even though it does not matter), this is coming from a guy that loves his 26" bikes, and when they eventually get replaced it will be with more 26" bikes. Have fun and good luck!
Enduro all around baby
What format?
If is a not a euro format then its a boring super D race.
Thats sketchy if I read that right!
