Hey,

Thinking of coming out from Calgary the end of March early April. Which race(s) do you think would be the most fun? I'm thinking of hitting the Nanaimo DH as I've got friends that live near there.

Cheers,
Doug

Hey Doug,

Ya, I would agree with Curtis. Come out to the Nanaimo DH and Hammerfest. Port Alberni is a bit more ehh, but if your around while it's on, may as well!

i raced the nanimo one years ago and there was actually uphill sections, it sucked. the cumberland one wasn much nicer and faster
hop things have changed for the better by now.

hey dude. as of last year it's on a new course, which is A LOT more fun trust me. even in this video i'm about to link you to it's looks eh, but it's a blast to ride, and plus it's a lot different now from this video

also keep in mind this is one of our first videos so it's not so good. but check it out! it's at this track.

I don't think you would need one (a dual crown) for the island cup races. I couple of guys raced intermediate last year on SX trails w/ 36s and did fairly well. You would be faster on a DH bike, but you really don't need one unless your super competitive and are using the island cups as a warm up for the BC or Canada cup series.
