alex, its nick from silverroxx.. i ofically am not looking forward to those stupid things.. I have to sell my DH bike after this race and that looks like its going to give me a ton of flat spots in my rim..

what are you running for rims? butter? my cheap Mavic's have stayed true with no flat spots after repeated runs through them and they are fine. there just dirt its not like they are square edged concrete. you flow right over them.

they are a lot of fun when you start to hit them fast.

So there are wolves on moscow mountain now if you didnt know! Sombody bagged a 180 pounder on the north side of the mountain not too long ago. I talked with a guy at tri-state and he said he called in a big black one while coyote hunting just last week. Cougars, bears, moose and wolve's. 3 for 4 right now, hope we never have a problem with that!

That and with Course Marshalls every so often, they'll know were there. If I see one, my friend called suspension should take care of them. Especially compared to those whoops!
Lets see if we could ride tomorrow Mike
