Shouldn't Specialized be suing them over this name?

what you did there, i see it.

No, they played it smart. All the rider are on Specialized in the pics.

1. Super stoked to see love for the WV enduro series on PB. Excited as hell for this race.

2. $140+ for two FULL days of racing including lift tickets? Not terrible

3. The last DH race at Bryce (Sunday) was $125 for 2 friggin timed runs and 2 lift tickets. Also, a Bryce run is 2-3 minutes long. This is way, way better. I'm not paying $100+ dollars for 6 minutes of racing.

In fairness to Bryce it was only $100 if you pre-reg'd. Still a bit steep imo but not AS bad.

Early registration for the SS enduro was $115

@Alias530 -> yo a road ride is a lot easier to put on and likely has more people involved so they don't have to charge so much. Also, if this race is $140 then that's a bargain or at least on par. I paid over $100 for the Scott Enduro Cup @ the Canyons, a one day race. I would happily pay $140 for a well organized 2 day race, especially because I'm not doing them every weekend, just a couple times a year.

Series I race getting love on pinkbike... That's unreal. Every stop so far has been unreal, super pumped for this

I was just up there this weekend pre-riding some of the stages. There were a good number of other WV enduro series people doing the same because the park is closed next weekend due to GNCC. This is going to put some abuse on my Bronson. I love the muddy rocks and roots of snowshoe!

Snowshoe is worth the drive. Though the last 90 minutes may make you question....

I'll end up paying that much for a usac license and a Pro GRT race, ONE day race! plus drive 16 hours round trip. Snowshoe is an awesome venue for an enduro race, and because it's called Enduro, it should cost more

I would absolutely race this (despite the maybe slightly steep entry?) if I didn't have other commitments. Looks awesome, Snowshoe is sick

cptstoney (Jun 15, 2015 at 12:03)

thats a pricey entry fee for a non pro level enduro.

Alias530 (Jun 15, 2015 at 12:32)

Holy shit no kidding. That's ludicrous.

burt-reynolds (Jun 15, 2015 at 12:51)

It'll be a pro level race though, with lift access. They'll be some big guns at this race. Definitely the best of the wv enduro series. Still kinda pricey though. There better be good live music, beer, and food included.

Alias530 (Jun 15, 2015 at 12:54)

The last event I paid to be in was a 100 mile road ride with food/drink every 10 miles, big lunch, big dinner, and a bunch of stuff (backpack, water bottle, local nuts, etc) given as swag. $65 for that. $140 just sounds STEEP

sharpiemtb FL (Jun 15, 2015 at 13:27)

140 dollars for two days of racing. That's 8 stages that have to be prepped, taped and all professionally TIMED. Suddenly 140 dollars doesn't seem outrageous for all the work that has to be put in and the people that make events like this possible.

cptstoney (Jun 15, 2015 at 15:25)

the bryce race enduro and massanutten enduro where only $60 for 5 runs. Add em both together thts still only $120.

The massanutten lift was two trucks, gas costs more then lift power.

Still pricey when you think about it.

pinnityafairy (Jun 15, 2015 at 15:57)

It includes lift tickets. If you are a pass holder they will refund that part. Lift tickets are $40 a day. Good trails are NOT CHEEP! Every one wants all 3. Price, quality, and service. You can get 2 at the same time but not all 3.

cptstoney (Jun 15, 2015 at 16:00)

you ride the lift 2 times one day and 3 the next..... thats a full price lift ticket for a quarter of the rides you would get on a normal day.

pinnityafairy (Jun 15, 2015 at 16:01)

Don't forget the $30 WVMBA- licenses and some $ to eat at Old Spruce. The best food at SS.

cptstoney (Jun 15, 2015 at 16:02)

no matter your argument im gonna say its still pricey. i dont see the value in it. ive ridden snowshoe and know the trails are nice but that is still high IMO

pinnityafairy (Jun 15, 2015 at 16:03)

@cptstoney Than just go on a normal weekend issue solved.

pinnityafairy (Jun 15, 2015 at 16:06)

Its free to spectate. Also Walmart has mountain bikes for $79.99 and I see no value in that.

cptstoney (Jun 15, 2015 at 16:08)

i plan on doing that later in the season. the riding up there is great and im not knocking the park.

im just a average guy rider that likes to race for shits and giggles. i would literally spend $140(+lic fee, +hotel room, +gas from nova, +food, ++++++beer) to come last place, thats not fun.

pinnityafairy (Jun 15, 2015 at 15:57)

Snowshoe I love you!

nicolai12 (Jun 15, 2015 at 17:47)

This looks awesome, too bad I'm committed to another CA race that weekend...dang

sdm74 (Jun 15, 2015 at 14:44)

$156 with license
