This is the future of downhill. Not everyone has a huge mountain in their backyard, and Swain represents a small resort that took a chance on our community. It may not be perfect, but for lots of local folks, it's the only thing they've got.

I heard that , I'm in P.A and we have the same situation here , and I hate when these snotty bike guys say dumb shit like that , it looked pretty mangled to me , I'm sure the guys that had 8 in. Of travel were using it

This is a family owned mountain and the owners are awesome. They do everything possible to put on a really great event and they love DH'ers! The mountain has alot of other trails that are a blast to ride plus they have a motocross course. It is worth a trip to ride there - plus they have the best wings - they know how to make them right in western NY!

The Gravity East Series runs concurrently with the Pro Grt on occasion. It's the same race in Windham June 30. UCI cat 2 race. The races have a great atmosphere. Colorado SHOULD get another series together now that MSC has gone belly up. Races at Keystone, Steamboat, Winter Park, Sol Vista, and Crested Butte would be great.

luckily winter parks having their own series again incorporated national points in so theres still a chance to qualify for angel fire!

I was there. A couple pro's practiced on AM bikes but went with Session for the race. Go figure. Nobody counted on a greasy course.

That was a greasy race, seems like those guys would have been better off on an AM bike given how mellow the course looked

The mountain was a lot of fun even though it is small, there are other trails to the left of the race run that were a blast. Trail 3 was my favorite!
