 I love super D. It is the type of racing anyone with a bike can do. Around here we don't have the right trails for DH. Even if we did I couldn't afford to have a second rig dedicated to DH. That said XC will never be exciting enough. Super D is the sweet spot in between that makes it racing for the common man.
Lets me pretend to race when I'm flying down the trail on my 6"

 How was the event run? I see lap times. Were they climbing up and then running down the same trail multiple times?
