uhhhh i'd probally say race begginer..sport is pretty tough, i've been riding for
a while, and am pretty expirienced i guess you could say. and last year i got 26th of like 95 or something...just do what ever you want, just no sandbagging!
what the hell is "sandbagging"

its when you race in a category that you are to good to be in....
like you should be in sport, but you enter begginer, just so that you will
beat everyone easily...
ooooooo. yeah i know

Better learn how to ride in the wet so you've got a back up and you don't get screwed over and it's good practise any way,it makes things SKETCHY but real fun

last year i had the course DIALED, then it rained. I was sooo pissed. I had never riden in rain before and i didnt know what to do. So i fell twice. O well, it better not rain this year.
I heard a rumor that it was a totally new course this year though...

Yeah, friday night I got the top section of jumps down! Then the next day it was pouring and on my race fun I had to roll the first jump and cased all the others Really Mad

Also be sick if they had a new DH course!

You guys camp out there?

last year i stayed ith my friend up there, in his rv.
My family is in the process of selling out boat and we are goin to get an rv
so we can travle to races

family vacation?

yea i know but the only way that i know that i could race is if i could go with a friend or two of mine that does support biking cuase i know many people that could take me if i convince them to want to race. one guy and his dad raced at northstar twice so i think that he would want to race the Sea Otter. Is it possible for 45 year old men to race at Sea Otter without racing 25 year olds? is there an agegroup for them?
