i do recomend having some grippy pedals, you wil need them badly. the section after the log step down is wwwaaayyyy bumpy and my feet came off and nutted it.

You just have to pick your lines better. I ran it on a Cowan DS last year and did fine on that section. This year I'll probably run it on my Fly rather than my 4X, but my dad will have the killer setup of a Foes FXR that'll weigh about 35lbs.

ill be there sportin it for Canada in the 15-18 cat. weird why don't they just have U17 category for everyone instead of a JR sport/Beginner/Ex. why rank everyone separetly? we don't do that here in Canada in our races very often.

that way you race and get placed against other people in your skill level.

so then people around your skill level...... how bout age? because a 15 year old will have a tough time racing a whole bunch of 18 year olds. just saying that itd make sense to have a JR X, Junior begginer, Then U17 and U15 as categories. but thats just my oppinion.

they split it up amongst age groups, but I think the jr ex is 15-18.
